GOBI™

Global Online Bibliographic Information (GOBI™)

GOBI™ is the YBP/Lindsay and Croft groundbreaking online, interactive bibliographic information service — giving access to around 2 million titles in an English language database via the internet.

Available to all our registered customers, it's a pivotal element in the Lindsay and Croft/YBP partnership, offering shared publishing information from both the US and UK and — like everything we do — it's customer focused and user friendly.

At any one time, around 2 million titles are listed, making it the single most comprehensive reference of available English language titles and, with daily database updates, librarians can make GOBI™ part of their own acquisitions and cataloguing workflow.
