So I just wanted to welcome everyone, and thank you for joining us today for the May Mosaic Innovation Spotlight and Open Forum. This is our third session of the third season of our Mosaic webinars. If you missed any programs from our previous sessions, whether it be seasons one, two, or this season, I will provide links to those sessions in the chat box later in the program. My name is Julie Twomey, and I am the marketing manager for EBSCO Books, and I will be moderating the session today. I am joined by my colleagues, Bethany Pelletier, who is Director of Product Management for GOBI Library Solutions. And I am also joined by Steph Moriarty, who is our Director of Sales for EBSCO Books. And we also have Natasha Behar, who is our Agile Product Manager on the call. So you may see her answer some of your questions in the chat box or she may jump on later in the q and a section. So just a few housekeeping items here. So all attendees will be muted during the live program, but if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to use the chat box and we will go ahead and answer those either in the chat box or during the live program. If for some reason we are not able to answer your question or we're not able to get to it, we will provide an email to you in the coming days. So let's get started. So our agenda today, we'll start with an update on our supplier growth and our international availability. This is really a reminder. We did cover this in our last program, but we wanna make sure all new attendees are up to speed. We will also provide a live demonstration, including a search in Mosaic, some tips and filter tricks that Bethany will cover. We'll also give you a preview of selector workflows. They're not authentically rolled out yet, but Bethany will give a preview in our lower environment. So that's kind of a sneak peek, which is exciting. And then we'll end our program with our typical q and a and open discussion. And now I will pass it over to Bethany to talk about our supplier growth. **Bethany Pelletier** Sure. So thanks, Julie. I always feel like in those intros, like, it's almost like a little game show. Introduce them. It's a fun moment. But, but thanks, everybody, for joining us. Just to touch on this, we did talk a little bit about last webinar, wanted to just, highlight here. Lots of great growth. We've added Bloomsbury and Wiley both in the last six weeks, and Cortex and Project Muse are expected in the coming six weeks. So really excited there, and there's a lot more additional partners that we'll be adding over the course of the next year. So you can look forward to sort of seeing those announcements and us highlighting them in sessions such as this. The coverage in Mosaic is significant with more than three million titles available. So if you haven't already, please do check it out and see what we have for offerings there. There'll be some a lot of net new offerings as well, so we're excited about that. And just to highlight, there is breaking news this week! We went live to beta in the UK as our first sort of true non-US, non-USD Mosaic currency country, and more will be following Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and others. But UK is officially in beta this week, so it is live in the wild for those libraries over there that are trying it out. So exciting news there. And, today, really, the, highlight of today, and, you'll see how enthusiastic I am - I'm really excited about being able to showcase the selector workflows for you. As Julie mentioned, we will be looking at this in our lower or QA environment. That is because it is actively being developed. It is more than halfway done. We will be launching this, and it will be available to all of you by the beginning of July. So we are just sort of wrapping up development there, but we wanted to take that opportunity to give you a sneak peek of what you can expect there and get excited. It really does mark a major milestone. Mosaic released with firm ordering and lots of great innovations and interoperability, but selector workflows is our introduction of new roles within Mosaic. So it's not one role that everybody can do everything, but we're introducing layered roles now so we can have selectors and acquisitions and folks that just have you only. So building that out is an exciting new change. And, of course, building out some new workflows, like selector workflows. So that's really majority of what we'll be talking about today. So let me just share out my screen, and I just wanna validate that folks can see it. So I don't know if someone can put in chat. I just wanna make sure. I see a thumbs up. We are good! We have cleared for takeoff! Thank you so much. Alright. So I have what we're gonna do for demonstration today is I have a login that is a selector only view so that we can see what it looks like for selectors coming into the system, what they can expect to see, how they can expect to interact with the system. And after that, we'll log in as an acquisitions or admin, someone who has authority to do lots of different things, and see how they would interact with the selections as well as how the view changes with what they're seeing. So without further ado here, just wanna show we're in Mosaic. Some of the things that we've heard, about working in selector workflows with our legacy systems such as GOBI is, you know, that the workflows can be a little complicated. There's a lot of screens, a lot of menus, there's a select cart, and how is that different than the order cart? What exactly is the select cart? So we get that question a lot. We also get a lot of questions around, you know, how best to communicate between a selector and acquisitions. Like, how can that conversation happen? So a lot of customers will be emailing, folks or using their own institution conversation, tools to be able to do that, and we're we'll be seeing in just a moment an area of Mosaic where we've strengthened that, bolstered that to make it a little bit easier to do that sort of handoff and have those kind of nice clear communications. We also hear a lot about sort of the availability of titles and having someone select a title that turns out is not available, and then it gets rejected, and therefore they need to find out about a different replacement. Again, in Mosaic, we've tightened that up with better statuses and availability, which we'll look at. So all in all, I mean, we've listened to what you've all said about our selector workflows in GOBI, some of the things that are - you know - our struggle, some of the things we can do better on, and so we'll show you sort of our first pass here at our about to launch selector workflows. So here I am. I'm a selector. You can see there is no order cart. That's because they don't need an order cart. They don't need to see it on their screen. It's just a nice clean screen whereby they can run searches. And so we're gonna go ahead and run. Those of you that know me, that our linguistic search just to pull some records. I'm just gonna jump to a couple pages in. Let's see. We'll pick - we'll look at this one here. So corpus linguistics, this title as a selector, I'm looking at it. I'm deciding, hey, I think I wanna select this title. You can see here in Mosaic now, there's just a button that says select item. So it's very clear. I don't have to go to many menus. I can just search, discover, find the content I want, and I can just hit the button and select it. At the point that I select, I have an option. I can either decide to apply my order details and go ahead and submit, or I can decide I wanna think on this one a little bit, and maybe I'll submit the official request later, but I wanna sort of put it in a place that I can work on it. So in here, you can see I got my modal. I go to choose a template and, oh, I already have a linguistics template that I've set up. it fills out my required order details, I hit submit, done and dusted. I've now submitted my selection for approval. It's out of my hands, and now it's off to acquisition. So it's as simple as that. Find the title, hit one button, and I can enter those details with the template so that I don't even have to enter them manually, and they're validated, and they're correct, and off it goes. So nice and simple and easy. The other thing that I can do is I can decide, oh, you know, I'm not really sure. I like this title, I'm not ready to sort of officially ask for it, but I wanna think on it. Or I'm not sure it runs the line between, is it my classics fund I wanna use or is it my linguistics fund? It kinda crosses, disciplines. What might I wanna do? In that case, I can hit select item and I can say finish later. Maybe I don't wanna apply a template yet, I just wanna sa, “ I wanna sort of put this in my selections area where I can work on it later.” I hit finish later. I get a little banner that says it says selection has been saved. I know that I did something with it and it went off to the place that I'm gonna go to in just a minute to be able to work on those things. So it's as easy as that. You search, you find things, you hit one button, and off it goes to where it needs to go. Since we applied a template here, I do wanna take a minute just to go up here and show where might I set up a new template. Here, you can see are all the templates. This is one that we just applied. If I wanna create a new one, I am now in charge of the business economics. God save us. I can go ahead and add the information here and hit create, and now I have a new template that's going to display there for me when I'm making selections as a selector. So it's super easy to do that. Now I've selected a few things, I have a few things I put in an area that I want to look at in a little bit and make decisions on. Where do I go next? Well, I go to this new menu called selections. And when I click on selections, essentially I go to a landing page where I can get all the information that I need about things. The default view is on the left, you see there's a bunch of facets, which we'll talk through about what all the options are. But you can go in here and you it defaults to things that are not yet submitted. The reason being, I'm a selector. I have a bunch of things in here that I need to action, so my default view is to have the not yet submitted sort of all be the ones that are displaying so that I know I can look at these action and make decisions. So that's a great sort of way for me to land quickly and be able to continue on with my work. In addition, you can see there's other statuses available here. If I wanted to sort of get any window into, well, what about the things I asked for last week that got approved? What are those things? I can go ahead and click on that one and pull up just the things that have been submitted. I can see here, oh, wow. This one was approved, which means it's gonna be filled or it's ordered, it's in the cart. I can see quickly at a glance what is the status of the things I have asked for that I might be looking for. In addition, if I wanna look at things that have been selected, but maybe they haven't been ordered or actioned by acquisitions yet, I can look at this. And maybe I go in and need to write a comment like, you know, need this for next week's course and send a note. That way acquisitions knows there's some urgency here, hoping they can help me out with that. In addition, if something was rejected, I can go in here and I can look at what's been rejected. I wonder why this was rejected. I can click on the comments. Oh, I asked it was needed for coursework, it's already on and available and unlimited access at the library, and therefore, it was kicked back. So really nice, easy way for me to interact with acquisitions as a selector, share information about particular reasons I need something, and most importantly, understand and have transparency around what is the state of the thing that I'm looking for. And to be able to quickly and easily get to that. So really nice ways in which to do that. In addition, there's some additional ways to sort of facet here. So I'm gonna just go back to all just to highlight them all if I wanna see everything that's there. I can use recent dates to figure out and pull things that might be timely that I need to look at. If there are comments - so acquisitions may have added a comment for me to pay attention to, I'm just going to see my things here. So I see that there's a comment. Let's take a look at what that is. And we click on this. Would you acquisitions is asking me, would I like the more recent version of this particular title, and is a three user license enough because it's a limited license. So, you know, questions like that just happen right within the platform. It is associated with the selection. So it is not associated with the title for the whole library and all users of Mosaic to see. It is attached to this request so that it sort of stays within the context that it was asked. So you can see there, really easy. I can filter and say, oh, okay. That, you know, I can just say, three you is enough. Thank you. My manners, and off it goes. So really nice way to do that there. I'm gonna go ahead and close that out. In addition, if you wanna look for classifications, you can manage your list that way. I'm gonna just go here. Whoops. Let me go back up to this menu. As I said, this is in the lower environment. So let me go back. We are testing live here. Let me clear all unread. That's why. Okay. So in addition, there's LC classification. So if I'm looking to say, I am a selector and I am in charge of the business economics we just found out, I do linguistics, I do classics, and I want to be able to assign order details and make sure I have my right funds assigned to different things, I might use the LC classifications to sort of pull that up and take a look and sort in that way. Similarly, fund codes. I can see here, these are all of my items that I have and what fund codes that are applied there. So if I want to work on particular fund codes and look at those particular items, I can do that. So lots of ways that you can facet there. It's really, lots of ways you can interact with the tool and, again, it is all in the context of what the user, the selector is looking at. So they won't see everybody's things. They'll see their things that they can action and work on. So I'm gonna go ahead and go back to the not yet submitted view because that's my action view. That's what I wanna make some decisions on or action. Within the page itself, I can also sort by recent or oldest. So maybe I wanna look at the things that have been sitting there for some time and make some decisions and hold myself accountable to getting that done. Or maybe I just don't care or I wanna look at it in the newest and sort of work through it that way. So that's what that's for up there. Now I'm looking at this first title and I can see that it needs order details. I can either mark an item and I can add order details one at a time here. And when I do this, again, I have access to my templates. My new template business economics is there as well, and I have a default for linguistics since that's my primary area of focus that will always show up at the top. So I'm going to pick linguistics, I'm gonna hit save, my order details are here. I can also work in batch. So if I wanted to mark some other items, I want to have this one and this one, and I want to have those both be assigned to business economics, I can go ahead and do that in batch, and those items get sort of that those order details that are required. I will note too, that the order details are are customizable by libraries and library workflows. So this means if you would need to add more information. If you want a notes field, if you do not need things to be required - any details - we can do that. So we can accommodate setting up the library for the right level of order details that are required in each stage of the process. For this particular demonstration, I just had those two sort of order details required for selectors just for demonstration purposes. So you can work through the list here. Again, you can add comments if you are requesting something here. So, again, I will add a new comment and hit that. That's gonna go over and be available. And I'll go ahead also, and I can see there's order details here, I'm gonna go ahead and let's see - I'm gonna just from the page itself, I can also submit right from here, so I don't have to go up to the top and do that. I can do that right within the body, as well as change order details here within the lower portion. In addition, I might decide that before I submit this one, you know, I'm thinking about my budget. I know we prefer to have unlimited user for my library but I might look at the purchase option and say, oh, well, maybe I will look for a more you know - in this case, it is an accessible version, but maybe you're looking to see a more accessible accessible version. Maybe you're trying to save a little bit of money and thinking about what the use is, and so maybe you just need it for research for one user versus many. You can see when I change the purchase option, not only does it change it for the selection, but it lets me know about the price change, which is really nice. So this helps me with my budgeting and managing my funds. If I were to come back to this page and look at an item that I selected or put here to look at a couple of days ago and the price changed in any way, I would see the same banner that would tell me about the price change that would be applicable. Or, again, as I change purchase options, if the price changes significantly, it's letting me know so that I have awareness there. I'm gonna go ahead and submit this because I wanna select them all, they're all good books that I want, and you can see it immediately is selected. It's as quick as that. So lots of easy ways to interact here. I might decide that for this one, I don't want it, so I'm gonna go ahead and delete it, and it's gone from my list. So I have full authority to see all of the things and have the transparency as to where they are in the state, I have the ability to comment and share those comments with my acquisitions teams that I'm working with, and I have the ability to sort and use filters in many ways to be able to see and slice and dice my activity and the things I need to be aware of as well as work in bulk. And just to note here too, these filter chips, which are here at the top, if we are filtering our things in many in a myriad of ways and then decide, oh, shoot. I don't want that. I can just use your standard filter chip behavior and just take those off or clear them all to kinda go set it back to the default, which is, again, not yet submitted. So really great sort of functions. It's very simple for selectors to understand what they need to do. It's not complicated. And again, between the templates and the default settings and the transparency and the ability to communicate, trying to make it a lot easier for selectors to get in there and action the things that they need to do. So from here, I'm going to log in as acquisitions and show what it looks like from that point of view. But before I do so, I just wanna check the chat to make sure there's nothing on this page that we wanna clarify before we sort of continue on in the workflow. And it looks like folks have been answering most of the questions. **Steph Moriarity** So, Bethany. **Bethany Pelletier** Yeah. **Steph Moriarity** There's a couple of questions on, you know, what other order details can be included other than a fun code. **Bethany Pelletier** Yeah. So you can have up to thirty of them. So the answer is it's customizable for your library, and it could be reporting codes. It can be, you know, notes. It can be any of the things that you need as a library to accompany the order or selection process through. We can customize that and make it available not only what field show up, but whether they're required or not. So if we go up here it might be easier to kinda see this. We'll look at it with acquisitions, actually, but, essentially, the order details are are customizable. So for this particular one, there's just the two, but as I said, you can have up to thirty fields. You can label them whatever makes sense to the library and you can decide whether they should be required at the point of selection or not whether or not they're required at point of order. So those who are GOBI users are probably familiar with GOBI Smart. It is GOBI Smart amplified, because it offers all of those things plus, sort of additional functionality. So if that didn't answer the question, please do pop in chat so, like, we can clarify. Steph, what other questions are popping out at you that I might wanna kind of address before we move over? **Steph Moriarity** Yeah. A couple questions on if we show a total of the selections. So instead of just, like, on the individual title level, all of your selections combined. **Bethany Pelletier** So are so on this page, is there a sort of a sum grand total of it of cost? **Steph Moriarity** Right. **Bethany Pelletier** The question yeah. So we don't have that yet here. We have talked about that and how best to do that. So that's something that would be a follow on bit of work, but we don't have a grand total here on that particular item. So Nat, our product manager, is on the line, though, and I know she has done a lot of thinking on that and worked with our innovation partner groups as well and has some ideas about how we might do that. That is definitely not the first time we've heard that and is absolutely in the cards for us to do it. It's just not part of this initial sort of first release there. So that that grand total isn't there. Any other sort of questions that are standing out for the selector workflow here? Okay. What we can do is we can jump over to see the acquisitions flow a little bit more about what an acquisitions folks would be doing with that, and then we'll leave enough time for questions so we can circle back. If you, if we haven't seen your chat, please do sort of pop it back up and we'll use that time at the end to kinda go through that. So selectors, as a selector, I've done what I need to do for the day. I'm logging off, and then it's over to acquisitions. So we'll take a look at what it looks like from an acquisitions point of view. So here I am, I'm logged in as an acquisitions person with that role. You can see I have my cart, I have the ability to do other things that are available here, but it looks much the same, again, in in the spirit of having a nice streamlined view here. So for this particular role, I am acquisitions but I'm also admin. So I sort of have everything right in here. You can have someone who has acquisitions but sorta doesn't have admin, so that's also a flavor that we could show you. But for today, I wanted to just show the difference between the view of a selector and the view of someone who has the full authority, including acquisitions to action that item. So here, again, on my search results, and I'll just pick a page, any page here, and go down, and let's just see here. For this particular one, you can see, and I don't see just select. I also don't see add to cart. I see a drop down that tells me I can do either. So that's sort of the way the folks that have maybe I'm also a selector because I'm acquisitions, but I also have some responsibility for a particular type of discipline in addition to my acquisition. So in that case, you have the ability to do both. You can add right to selections, and that follows the same methodology we just saw. When I click on that, I get the modal. I can decide to finish later, and it goes off to that saved page we looked at, or I could submit, and I submit it. So I have the ability to do that. And alternately, I also have the ability to just add it to my cart. And if I do that, it just goes into the cart, and I can just order it directly, I don't have to use the selection workflow. So you that's what acquisition sees. The folks that have the sort of dual access would see that. And, again, if I just had acquisitions and I didn't have any selector role then I would just see the cart button. I would not see the both options there. So that looks slightly different, but same sort of flow here. And then the selections menu, I would go here to selections menu. And, again, this is all in the context of the user that is logged in, so when I go here my default is show me all the selected items because I am acquisitions and I need to order them on behalf of all the selectors. So it defaults to that because that's my sort of actionable list that I need to work through. Again, there's other pieces of information here. And since I am both the selectors and acquisitions, I have additional statuses available to me, like approved because those are the things maybe that were approved that I selected or things that haven't been submitted that I put in my group there. But the default is the things that have been selected because those are the things I need to action as acquisitions. You can see here there's a couple of new filters. So we have the standard date added that we looked at to be able to sort of look at date ranges, the date submitted also so if I wanna look at things that are recent or look at older things, if I just wanna look at comments, again, that's a nice quick way to say - oh, boy there's a lot of questions on these particular things. Let me take a look at the ones that people have marked with a comment because they probably need my eyes on those things to take care of them and take a look at them and action them appropriately - Again, LC classification. If I wanna order in batches for particular fund codes or for particular reasons, I can do that. Same with fund codes here available. These are all the funds that are in my list of selected items. If I wanna work through them by discipline, I can certainly do that as well. And then lastly, by selectors. So this is really nice. So if they wanna just pull up particular person or people, you can do so. So I, as a selector that we just logged in as, I was Beth Pelletier. So that was my username, and I'm now logged in as Bethany Pelletier as acquisitions. Earlier today, I did have them both as Bethany and realized it's very confusing to have my same name twice. So that's why there's a slight difference here. But when we were logged on as Beth, we had all those selections. So I'm acquisitions, and just to model what the workflow looks like, I'm gonna pull up selected items, and I want to particularly look at what Beth has asked me for so I can filter in that way. So there are seven selections here. Again, I can take a peek at the notes. Oh, she's asking this for coursework. You know, and then I can reply, great use of primary text to save student textbook cost or something. Or maybe you don't say anything at all. I just, you know, can put you can put something in there if there's something notable that you wanna say in the back and forth. Again, I can just sort of approve that and move along on my way and work through them one at a time. You know, I might get to this one. Three u is enough. We're good there. I got the answer I needed from Beth, and therefore I can go ahead and prove it. If I hadn't if I had gotten a different answer, I could've changed the purchase option to see if there was another option available for them. So you can see, you can kinda work through one at a time. But you can also go ahead and work in batches. So you can mark multiple items either using this up top, click this to mark all of them or, as I did, just select a couple notably and then and then go ahead and do that. I can also apply order details there if I wanna change any order details or anything like that. There's a lot of buttons here, and that's because I have a lot of authority in this particular login as an admin, as a selector in acquisitions. Again, these buttons will only appear for the authorities that they for the folks that have that authority and also when they apply in the context of the work I'm doing. So if something is not available and it's a status that becomes unavailable, I'm not gonna be able to submit it. That button's gonna be grayed out and it will tell me why. So they're very intuitive and smart buttons here to be able to action through things. So I'm gonna go ahead and hit approve with those two I selected and you can see they're approved, real time here. So real easy for acquisitions to work through however they like to approach their work whether it's by funds, by particular selector, by date ranges, any of that. And, again, notably, if I just wanna go through and look at particular comments and there's a bunch here that I'm seeing, I can go ahead. Needs hole placed here. Okay? That that way I know that you know, this is a rush order, but, you know, it should be completed soon. Maybe there's a reason there's a hold, and I can't actually order these for the selectors yet. There's, you know, something that we're waiting on for funds to free up, etcetera. So the similar functionality here in terms of the display of order details, the ability to make changes, to edit one at a time, or edit in bulk above, and filters with additional filters for acquisitions. So that's the high level that I wanted to share with all of you, the exciting new workflows that we have. Again, we will be launching this in the July time frame and it will include the complete rest of the flow, which is we just showcased the selectors, how acquisition sort of takes it and actions those items and approves them, and then we will have a follow on and kinda show you how that works for the checkout process. But, essentially, acquisitions will go ahead from here and order it in their cart and then move it on their way. So builds in that flexibility with all of the same sort of tooling across the Mosaic platform as well as sort of the library history and things displaying as well. So with that said, I definitely wanna go to the chat because I'm sure there's plenty of questions here and I'm happy to sort of navigate through and show things as we look at the questions. So, Steph, I don't know if you wanna kind of read out the questions that you'd like me to address. That might be fastest way to sort of ensure that we're getting all the questions answered. **Steph Moriarity** Yeah. So one great question on do we have plans to offer more sorting options? So we have currently the last updated and newest to oldest. Do we plan to add anything else, like, by title or anything like that? **Bethany Pelletier** Yeah. So I'd love to hear from all of you in chat if there are particular sorts you think would be beneficial. Absolutely. So we're building out - our mindset with Mosaic is sort of building things thoughtfully and but it is we're going to be building and rolling things out over time. Right? And so this is the first pass of selections to make sure that we have the workflows, we have the roles, the Mosaic storefront respects the roles that the institution has set up, and has some basic filtering, some enhancements with types of ways that you can work together, and some initial sorts to make sure that you can easily get to the latest or maybe oldest things that maybe you wanna make sure you action. But absolutely, the plan is to expand those out. And just to note in our cart, we have similar sort of ability to action views and look at and sort of sort or filter in ways like that. So it's definitely not a new concept for Mosaic, but we are starting small with those as the first two. So if you have some that would be particularly interesting to you and that you think would be very useful, whether it's a sort which will just sort the whole list, or if it's a facet to quickly and easily refine your list, definitely pop it in chat. We have the right product folks on the line that'll be looking at that and can take that back and kind of think about where those things might fall on the road map and make sure that we're considering all your needs. **Steph Moriarity** Another great question, Bethany, is from an acquisition side, do we now have to approve and order each book, or can we still just order? anything like that? **Bethany Pelletier** You can still just order. So for your for your orders, so if I go back and do a classic search, for example, and I just wanna order, I can just add my order to the cart, and off it goes, and it bypasses all of that. Within the selections flow itself, if something is here, you do need to just add it to the cart and send it through and do that. It's part of the checkpoint there. We did talk with a lot of libraries about that, so I'm happy to sort of hear if you have some different feedback there. But we'll as a sort of a gate there to make sure that things are looked at, they're approved, and then they're sent on their way. Yeah. **Steph Moriarity** Thank you, Bethany. **Bethany Pelletier** Yeah. **Steph Moriarity** Another good one. Will there be folders as an option for organizing titles rather than adding things just to the selections page? **Bethany Pelletier** So Kayla – it looks like Kayla's been looking at our roadmap, which isn't quite published yet. So yay! Absolutely! We're actually have on the roadmap for this year building out folders, both private and shared. That will be coming this next year. So you can absolutely do that if you want. Once we have the functionality, of course, we that would be you'd be able to find items, put it in a folder, and from there decide, you know, use it as a holding bin there, a way to organize your thoughts, your list, your things like that. So that's something that will be coming this year along with spotlight lists, which will be lists of curated content that you might wanna action, which dovetails nicely with this because you might have things you find on those lists that you wanna select or order. You might find things that you don't have funds for but, boy, you would love to have that wish list, and therefore you wanna put it in a folder for later. So that's definitely, on the road map for this coming year. You know, in the meantime, I think this will be available in July. So if you wanna you'd sort of use it as a quasi folder until that other functionality is ready, that's entirely up to you. It is your list within the selections page there so you can use it how you'd like. **Steph Moriarity** And then I know this won't be an ideal answer, but I think it is important to address: Of any information on DDA integration into Mosaic, any timeline on that? **Bethany Pelletier** Yeah. So we just spent some time looking at DDA. We definitely we did a lot of library interviews. Many of you on the line were probably part of those conversations. We took a hard look at what we have today and what we wanna do in the future. We have some really big ideas about what we want that to look like. But it is gonna take time and we wanna do it the right way. So currently, DEA is not on our immediate road map for the next six to nine months. But I would say stay tuned there. It will likely be - don't hold me to this - but likely be the following year is what we're looking at right now. But we're doing a lot of research, analysis, understanding about what you all need to make sure that we're equipped and ready. So as soon as we sort of free up and are able to take that on, we will. We understand its importance, its value. So we definitely will pull that work as soon as we're able to and we're getting ahead from our product and perspective now just to understand that. But it won't be in Mosaic in the next six to twelve months. But after that you can expect that that will be coming. **Steph Moriarity** Thank you, Bethany. **Bethany Pelletier** Yeah. **Steph Moriarity** Another one is, will we have the ability to do an export? **Bethany Pelletier** Yeah, so that's another thing that's on our sort of our roadmap and our list. We haven't sequenced that work for the year to know exactly where it lands. But one of the first things that we've been doing is this batch, the ability to batch, right, to select a bunch of bulk items and action them. And that's step one of providing an export because if you have a list and you can mark which one or which one or ones that you wanna action, it's pretty a lighter lift to be able to say, “okay, export it now.” Also, once we get to spotlight list and folders, which again is on the road map, we know that if you're gonna wanna mark a bunch of items and add them to a folder. You're gonna need to be able to, again, work in a list like that, wanna be able to export it, maybe run it against something locally. So that's work that we have planned for this upcoming year that will dovetail nicely with this work. **Steph Moriarity** Awesome. That's it for chat. If, Julie, you wanna continue. **Julie Twomey** Sure. Thank you for that. So I'm gonna go ahead and share my screen again. Give me just a moment here. And are you able to see that, Steph and Bethany? **Bethany Pelletier** Yes. **Julie Twomey** Okay. Perfect. And we'll have some time at the end too. So if something occurs to you as a question or a comment, feel free to continue adding those to the chat and we will address those at the very end of our program. So for those of you who are not in Mosaic at this time, if you're interested, you wanna get started, you want more information, even a personalized demonstration, I highly advise you to scan the code at the right or I will pop a link in the chat in just a moment. If you're already a Mosaic customer and you need some assistance with whether it be a FOLIO or Alma configuration, you can go right ahead and email our team at Mosaic at EBSCO dot com. So we hope you enjoyed the program. You will receive a thank you email in the coming days, and that thank you will include a recording of today's program. It will also include a bevy of links. As you can see in the chat, I've been putting some links in there. Those will all be provided to you in the thank you email. In addition, we'll provide you with links to things like EBSCO Connect. So that's a great spot to find FAQs, demos, guidelines, anything like that. I think we even have some chats there, some tools that you can see what other people are doing. You can also subscribe to our EBSCO Books update newsletter, I put a link to that in the chat. That's really the best place for you to stay updated. So as Bethany was mentioning, you know, we're looking at six to nine months down the line. But anything further than that or if anything changes, that will be included in our EBSCO books update newsletter. So please go ahead and sign up for that. We also regularly post on our blog and on our EBSCO social media pages. And so this is the third session from our season three. Our session one and two is available for replay. If you scan the link to the right, you will be brought to our series page. We will add today's program sometime probably by mid next week - we're usually able to turn that around pretty quickly. And once that happens, like I said, you will get the email. So please feel free to catch up on anything you may have missed. *Transcripts are generated using a combination of speech recognition software and human transcribers, and may contain errors.* #### You might also be interested in ![](https://assets.ebsco.com/asset/8b5ad26d-b064-41b7-8d76-7307e00aece1/ebsco-timeline-video-image-780.png) ## Celebrating EBSCO Milestones in Partnership with Libraries [ Watch video ](/resources/celebrating-ebsco-milestones-partnership-libraries) ![Mosaic logo with illustrated balloons celebrating the product's second anniversary](https://assets.ebsco.com/asset/e0133b2c-0947-4159-a761-26fd94b248d9/Mosaic-Turns-Two-Infographic-web-780.png) ## Mosaic Turns Two: Two Years of Progress [ View infographic ](/resources/mosaic-turns-two) !["EBSCO Book Acquisition Crosswalk" with Mosaic pattern](https://assets.ebsco.com/asset/b389e677-6cb5-4083-a60f-ac39cbdd0620/Mosaic-ECM-GOBI-Crosswalk-780.jpg) ## EBSCO Book Acquisition Feature Crosswalk [ View solution brief ](/resources/ebsco-book-acquisition-feature-crosswalk)
