GOBI Spotlight List
GOBI now has a curated “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Monthly” Spotlight List. GOBI indicates this will be updated around the 15th of each month. However, this is a manually curated list, so delays from month to month are possible.
Selectors may use this list to identify titles of interest.
If you see titles in this list of interest that are not appearing in the profiled slips, we encourage you to add these to a folder. Doing so will enable our GOBI representative to review the list and allow us to potentially adjust profiles to be more inclusive.
To access the Spotlight List follow these steps:
On the top blue bar, click “Spotlight Lists,” then “Browse Spotlight Lists”
On the right-hand side click “Subject Focused Lists”
Scroll down, past the first set of “Diversity Equity and Inclusion” lists, which are static, to the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Monthly.”
Please also note the option in the upper right hand corner to “Exclude titles already acquired or on order”
