Prioritize 800/830 for series display before 490 field
Sometimes the series displayed on the item (i.e. what goes in the 490 field) is not unique enough to distinguish it from another series with a similar title. However, the 800/830 fields allow for this distinction by displaying the unique authorized version of the series. Therefore we would like the 800/830 prioritized for display and the 490 to only display if there is no 800/830 field. Attached is the example we encountered where the series statement displayed on the graphic novel series (490 field) exactly matched that of the regular print (not graphic) series. This resulted in the link to…

Site Level Showcase Roles
We are a consortium whose libraries SHOULD be able to manage their own showcases but should NOT be able to manage each others' showcases. Only we should be able to have system-wide showcase admin privileges. However, there is currently no showcase admin role at the collection site level, which means that we can't assign the showcase admin role to ANY of our libraries' staff users, since the current showcase admin role is simply too broad and all-encompassing. So we are left managing all our libraries' showcase admin tasks ourselves, which is less than ideal.
To be clear, we don't have…

What is the Problem we're solving and why?
Vega Consortia Libraries and Multi-Library Organizations would like to be able to manage showcase admin access by site. Site Level Showcase Admin Users should be able to quickly filter available showcases to those created in their Collection Site as well as retain view and use access to all showcases created by librarians in their organization.
Job Stories:
- As a Site Admin, I can assign Showcase Creators and Admins for specific sites, that are limited to creating and editing showcases in a particular site(s).
- As a Site Admin or Content Admin User, I can use the Home Page tools to filter, view, search, and find showcases that were made in the current Collection Site I am editing the Home Page display for.

Keep extraction schedule the same after Daylight Savings time changes
After the daylight savings time ended in November, our scheduled MARC extractions moved back an hour (from 10 pm to 9 pm).
It would be great for the schedules to remain unchanged

Include $a only title in the exact match title boost
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…

Sorting Volumes Numerically - Not By Digit
When a patron is looking at a monograph serial title and wants to place a hold on a volume, they click on place a hold and get the option to choose which volume they want. The volumes are listed by digit, rather than numerically. For example:
1
10
100
101
102
103
11
12
13We would like to see the volumes listed numerically (preferably with the latest volumes listed first):
103
102
101
100
99
98
97This would help patrons find exactly the volumes they are looking for, particularly having the latest volumes listed at the top.

Suggest a purchase
Libraries would like the ability for patrons to suggest a purchase if a title is not found in Discover. Please comment below on your library's use case.

Give patron ability to add titles to Reading History
We have patrons that read books not provided by the library and would like the ability to add those titles manually into their reading history. This way they can have all of them in the same spot. I imagine this would act similar to something like Goodreads.

index 245 subfield c
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.

Add Delete Button Under Item Image in Saved Lists
Patrons are finding it less intutive to delete items from their saved lists with the "Remove from List" link almost hidden in the very top right corner of the screen.
Each item in a saved list has a box around the image, the share button and select button are there. We also think the delete button, perhaps as garbage can icon, should be there as well.
(The "Remove From List" button can still be in the top right, if multiple items are selected, but for one-off deletions it should be easier and more clear how to do it).
I'll attach…

Customize no-reply@iiivega.com
Now that the Citation function has been improved to include the ability to copy or email, we are happy to have it as an option for patrons. Please allow us to set a from email for this as patrons will be confused by the no-reply@iiivega.com email address.
The same goes for the Share/Email option.
Even better, add Citation and Resource Page sharing to LX Starter so that we could customize a branded template for these patron-initiated emails.

Google Analytics Field in Vega
Could you please add support for a single configuration field where we can paste our Google Analytics Measurement ID (tracking key)? Ideally, this would be a dialog box or settings field in the admin/back-end interface that automatically injects the Google Analytics script across the site once the key is provided.
This will allow us to manage our own Google Analytics account without requiring us to write custom scripts to go in page footers, etc.

disable renew button
In the patron record checkouts it would be useful if the renew button would disappear completely if the item out has existing holds on it (like it does in the powerpac now). Why give the illusion you can renew something to then just be denied?

add magazine issue to My Bookshelf checkouts and holds
Magazine issues do not display in the My Bookshelf checkouts and holds. If someone checks out many issues over a period of a couple of days or weeks, they have no idea which issue may be overdue or coming due.

Add "Remove From Lists" option under the All Available Bookmarks window in the My Bookshelf bar.
Currently, the only way to remove an item from a list is by clicking into the list itself and selecting the materials. Since the All Available Bookmarks feature is the first in the Bookmarks tab, it makes sense that there would also be an option to remove materials there.

order the contents of facets by # of hits or alphabetically
With Encore we could select how our branches (collections) sorted. With 39 locations this is important to us. Ideally there would be a synch between the patrons "home library" and the top branch, but for now, we would appreciate the ability to sort locations alphabetically. Seeing a differently ordered list after each search reduces usability.

Can we add the ability to filter a search by what is actually borrow-able for the user.
It would be great to have a way to filter a search by what is actually borrow-able for the user. For instance, I was looking into a request from one of our libraries about placing a hold on a radon testing kit and after bopping around for a few minutes I realized there doesn't seem to be a way to filter a search by what is actually borrow-able for the user, which makes for a frustrating user experience.

Improving search with stemming and truncation
We have noticed that stemming in Vega Discover seems to work mainly for English. For example, ‘history’ also retrieves ‘histories’, but the Swedish word ‘historia’ does not retrieve ‘historier’. Since we are a Swedish library, it is important that stemming also works effectively for Swedish, not only for English.
As stemming can be challenging and sometimes unreliable, truncation is a vital complement. Truncation gives users more control and helps capture all inflected forms or compound variations of a word (which is especially important in Swedish). For example, searching for compounded words with a wildcard (e.g. ‘histor*) would ensure broader and…

Showcase Ordered Alphabetically includes 'The'
When a showcase is opened and it is sorted by title 'The' is not excluded. For example, The Gatsby would be under T when we think it should be under G.

Have fields to hold translations for Showcase titles
We currently use English, Chinese, French, Polish and Spanish languages as options in our Vega Discover. While toggling between languages, I noticed that embedded showcase titles remain in English regardless of the language selected (I wasn't expecting it to translate).
Proposed idea: Could there be an option to enter additional languages for Showcase titles that can be pulled when the overall platform language is changed so that native Chinese speakers see the librarian-inputted Chinese Showcase Title instead of the English title? If no alternate language title was entered, it should default to the English language title.
Thanks for your consideration!

Display subfield c from 520 in summary
Currently, the summary from the 520 field is displaying on the full resource card and dynamically updating by format, which is great. However, the subfield c is hidden, so anytime there is a subfield c present, there are simply two dashes at the end of the summary, suggesting that there might be something missing or cut off (which there is, in fact). Can the subfield c please be displayed along with the summary?
