Goss was born in Denmark Hill, in South London, in 1864.
He worked in English public libraries at the turn of, and the early, twentieth century, and was prominent among opponents of open access libraries in the United Kingdom.
He worked in Birkenhead and Newcastle public libraries, before becoming the first librarian in Lewisham (beating 300 other applicants to the post). He was forced out of this post, and left to become the librarian at the Bishopsgate Institute until he retired. While there, he campaigned to raise the status and pay of library staff
He retired in 1941, and died five years later.
Duff Brown had been at the forefront of introducing open access. Goss preferred the printed dictionary catalogue to the card catalogue.
He further attempted to improve the usefulness of catalogues as a search tool, by adding a short description, close to what would now be considered an abstract of the text. This extra description of books was intended to complement and assist in closed access collections.
One such catalogue he produced was A Descriptive Bibliography of the Writings of George Jacob Holyoake for the Bishopsgate library.
