Like James, my libraries uses GOBI as our primary selection tools. It's great to have access to multiple review lists in the same interface, e.g. Choice, Doody's, Booklist. However, we pay an annual fee to get the full GOBI tools. I'm not sure if any of these features, such as Choice reviews, are only included in this version of GOBI. If so, the annual fee may be a consideration for a small library -- just a caveat.

We have campus-wide online access and we strongly encourage faculty to utilize the service. However, the majority of them do not. We get surprisingly few requests from faculty and I am puzzled by that. I'm not sure if they just trust us to get what is needed or if they don't have time to make requests. We also use Library Journal and I keep an eye on the weekly New York Times Book Review. We primarily use Amazon for acquisitions so I look at recommendations there as well. Another thing I watch out for is the various annual book awards. We have less than 900 FTE. ________________________________ Laura Vogler Library Fulfillment Services Wabash College Lilly Library 301 West Wabash Avenue Crawfordsville, Indiana 47933 Phone: (765) 361-6215 ________________________________ From: acqnet-request_at_lists.ala.org<mailto:acqnet-request_at_lists.ala.org> <acqnet-request_at_lists.ala.org<mailto:acqnet-request_at_lists.ala.org>> on behalf of Jennifer C Stutesman <jennifer.stutesman_at_wwcc.edu<mailto:jennifer.stutesman_at_wwcc.edu>> Sent: Monday, December 4, 2017 11:20 AM To: acqnet_at_lists.ala.org<mailto:acqnet_at_lists.ala.org> Subject: RE: [ALCTS-acqnet] Resources for Books Hi Fatima, That's how we do it too. :) In addition, we also use Library Journal.

I currently use Choice and try to reach out to Faculty for feedback but would like to see what other institutions rely on and find helpful.
