Retrieving Order Requests From GOBI

  1.  Log into GOBI.

  2.  At the GOBI home screen, click on the blue "Search" tab and scroll down to "Selections".

  3. It should open to Search Selections

    • Under Date Selected, choose today's date

  4. Click on the green arrow button - located at the top middle of the screen - and a list of requests made by liasons should appear.

  5. Search each title in the USMAI catalog.  We are checking to see if UMBC already owns a copy of the book and, at the vary least, if there is a record to place the order on.

  6. If there is a record in the catalog and the book is not owned by UMBC, we need to place the system number into the GOBI request

    • in the catalog click on the MARC tags tab. At the bottom of the record will be the system number. Highlight this number and Ctrl-C to copy.

    • go back to the GOBI list and highlight the book you are working on.

    • click the "enter order details" link at the top of the screen. This will open up a order detail box. Scroll to the bottom and enter the system number in the "Aleph system Number" box. Click save.

    • Saving will close the order detail box. Once this is done, click "Put in order cart" on the top of the screen.

    • If we own the title already, highlight the book in the GOBI list and click "deselect".

    • Repeat these steps until all titles have been searched in the catalog and moved to the order cart.

  7. When all titles have been searched, click order cart on the left side of the screen.

  8. All information should be in place and all lights should be green. If this is the case, click "order green lights"
