  1. Requesting to include a toggle for both patrons and Vega Admin to allow 'you might also like' in the direct search results (pulling from econtent descriptions or Syndetics recommendations, or similar compatible connected service). Allow this feature to be consistent through the user experience (might need to be a separate idea - every new search resets many of the filters/settings, such as sorted by Date: Newest).

    We have noticed that the Syndetics recommendation appears in the search results (search term not visible in the Vega or Polaris record). Although this may be intended based on the latest version of search…

  2. Showcases can only be sorted chronologically by publication date or alphabetically by title. We'd like to have 'random' as an option, so that the showcase would be sorted randomly each time the page / showcase loads.

  3. In a consortium environment the admin staff will often have to make changes to every library in its system. Having the option to view all the libraries in one page instead of 10 at a time. The addition of having the option to "open in a new tab" when right-clicking the Edit button under actions would be helpful as well to keep organized as the current system of going back to the Library Defaults page can sometimes cause confusion when navigating back to the next library.

  4. Archive-It is a popular archive vendor and integrating into Vega Discover would be of great benefit to libraries and patrons that use the service.

  5. When there are physical copies of the title available, the shelf location appears on the results page. However, if there are no physical copies on the shelf at any location, that shelf location is hidden and the user must click into a location in order to see the shelf location. It is inconvenient to have that information hidden on the front page.

  6. For titles with both a $a title and a $b subtitle. If the $a is an exact match for a search query that title should also be considered an exact match and boosted in the same way to the top of the search results.

    When searching a word/phrase, results with an exact match of the search term(s) in the title of a search result should appear higher in search results than those with a partial match in the title due to 'stemming'. Example: Staff wrote in that they were searching for the book "Resolute" by Benjamin Hall and only the…

  7. Have the options to reset PINs via text message. Patrons without an email address in their record get an error message that an email couldn't be sent. There are a lot of patrons who do not like to give out their email, so having the reset link send via text would be useful.

  8. Would like to see the ability to place a one click hold like you can currently do the Polaris power pac. If you've chosen a preferred pickup location I don't see the necessity of having that 2nd window pop up that makes you confirm that.

  9. Here is the scenario: You do a search by title from the main search bar in Vega Discover. You scroll through the results and then decide to do an author search. Instead of scrolling back to the top of the page to use the main scroll bar, you just click the orange search icon in the top right corner and enter your author's name. The results will be that you get no results. The top search icon defaults to the last search option: All, Author, Concept, Series, Title. Users may/do not understand this and are confused by the lack of…

  10. Request:
    Allow libraries to choose how dates display throughout Vega Discover with options for:
    MMDDYYYY
    DDMMYYYY
    YYYYMMDD
    YYYYDDMM

    Original Request:
    Right now in edition information the due date is formatted YYYY-MM-DD. Can you format it MM-DD-YYYY instead?

  11. Are displays customizable? For example, could we exclude the words “collection” or “shelf location?” example: Shelf location 1st Floor Display Readers' Services | Collection Adult Fiction

  12. Many libraries host weekly or monthly events, it would be helpful to have a reoccurring event block option in the Homepage Builder instead of having to input a date/time for each individual event.

  13. Add a note in patron's transaction summary to indicate that a payment was made in Vega. For example, when a payment is made in the PAC a note is added to the patron's transaction summary indicating that the payment was made via PAC, as shown in the attached photo. Currently when a payment is made via Vega the note field is left blank not indicating how the payment was made. Ideally, the message should read "Payment made via Vega," but a note of some kind should be generated to indicate how a payment was made.

  14. Please index 245 subfield c for Vega searching. This would allow for broader author retrieval, especially when the name on the work doesn't match the controlled heading. For instance, "Tomb of Sand" cannot be retrieved by searching the author, Geetanjali Shree, as shown of the cover (and in 245 subfield c) because the controlled heading (100 field) is Gītāñjali, Śrī.

  15. Ability to search the name of a showcase. (This is similar to a feature BiblioCore has where patrons can type "new dvds" and retrieve a pre-limited search results). So, this would enable libraries to create a showcase called New DVDs, and patrons would be able to easily find those materials.

  16. Similar to a feature BiblioCore offers, libraries want to see Lists that other libraries across the country/world are creating. Enhancement request could be to give libraries the ability to Share Showcases outside their organization.

  17. This is related to the suggestion "All metadata and content displayed for a work should use the same instance ISBN", but more specifically I'm seeing a problem with movies with different release years, but the same title (and same DVD publisher).

    I can see this making sense for certain things - for example a book like The Grapes of Wrath, which we have several different editions of. The text is basically the same - there may be different forewords or other supplementary material, but for the most part it's less likely that a patron will be choosy about which edition…

  18. This would provide for significantly more flexibility and allow for the use of more modern genre/form terms, such as 'graphic novels'.

  19. Don't require mandatory punctuation in a search string to improve search results. For example, there are authors with hyphenated last names (authorized heading). If a customer searches these authors without a hyphen, Vega does not display results. Vega requires the hyphen to be present to display results by this author.

  20. When staff members create a patron account in Polaris, our default notification preference is email. We'd like the ability to disable or hide the "No preference selected" option from Discover so patrons are forced to select one of our supported notification methods.
