Index $a in the 800 field like it is in PAC
In the current PAC if you do a series search for an author, you get results for titles in series by that author. The same doesn't happen in Vega Discover since 800 $a isn't indexed and only $t is indexed. We would like $a indexed as well.

Allow Duplicate Item Level Holds in the catalog
A staff member would like to add the possibility of creating multiple item level holds on one title in the catalog similarly to what staff members can do in Leap. This will help patrons and book clubs that would like to place a hold on the same title without a duplicate error more seamlessly.

Make the language facet use the language from 008 field only
The 008 is the field we would prefer to use for the language facet and no other field. The 008 only field is consistently used in all our records. We stopped using the 240 fields in bib records, because that caused problems in Vega. The only time we use the 041 is when a title is bilingual. It would be a huge amount of work to update all our bib records. It is complicated how it currently works, and search results are confusing.

View and manipulate linked patrons in My Bookshelf
the library would like patrons to be able to see patrons that are linked in Sierra. For instance, to allow a patron to renew their kids items under their Juvenile accounts, in bulk at once or flipping to that account view for renewing without re-logging in, or see and/or pay their fines, etc, because the accounts are linked in Sierra.

Add 028 to Indexed Identifiers
This field is used for publisher’s/distributor’s numbers for video recordings, sound recordings (including audiobooks), and printed music. These numbers are important access points for these materials.
All 028 fields should be indexed, regardless of indicators.

Locator Buttons Too Confusing
I have worked at my current library for close to 6 months now. I cannot begin to describe the number of times a patron tells me they do not understand Vega Discover, or how to find out where an item is shelved. The filled in large green check mark is too distracting and confusing to patrons. That is a complaint I have heard repeatedly. The small open not filled in check mark with the library name is not visible enough to patrons, nor is it super obvious it's a hyperlink to the call number.
This particular piece of Vega Discover…

Incorporate See / See Also authority record data in search results.
For example: If a patron searches for the author Noelle Stevenson, results for their established heading of ND Stevenson should come up.
or if Diwali is searched for, the established heading of Divali should be included in results.41 votes -

List all movies included in volumes and mega sets of DVD
List all the movies/shows included on each disc in the set, so if a set doesn't have what a patron is looking for, we don't order it uselessly. Some items appear when you search for a specific title that is included, and some don't. Sometimes you can find the title in Sierra and sometimes you can't. Staff claim in Encore they were always able to see what which were included in these volumes/mega sets and they found it useful.

Custom Default Zoom Level on Vega Discover Page Load
By default Vega Discover loads zoomed in at 100% which cuts off a lot of useful information for the patron. The first record listed cuts off requiring scrolling and all the "Refine Results" don't show requiring scrolling. Vega requires an excessive amount of scrolling to see basic results. Zooming out to 90% rectifies this issue. I would like the option in admin settings to customize the default zoom level 70-100%. This will enhance the usability of Vega Discover and allow patrons the ability to see more vega options by default.

Add the ability to refine results by genre in Vega
Currently in Vega, patrons cannot search by genre (655 tag). The ability to search or refine by genre would be really helpful, since patrons could then more easily search for genres such as "Picture books" or "Science fiction."

Show personal/contextual information in patron list view
In line with ideas about customizing the experience more to the patron, and adding more useful information to the lists feature, I would like if the messages like "you have one copy checked out" or "you have one copy on hold" appeared when patrons are looking at their own lists (like it does on resource pages, but without having to click into each one to see the status). It could also be tied to data from the reading history to say "borrowed once before," etc. This would help patrons who are researching a topic and bookmarking many potential resources, or…

Add options to exclude content via facet selection
The current functionality of Vega Discovery allows patrons to filter their search results by selecting one or more facets from the left-hand panel. However, there is no option to exclude results. For example, a patron who is looking for books on history may want to exclude ebooks or audiobooks from the results.
This enhancement request proposes to add an option to exclude content via facet selection and or other means. This would allow patrons to refine their search results more effectively and find the most relevant resources for their needs.
Adding an option to exclude content via facet selection would…

hoopla
Further customize Hoopla integration to allow segmentation of collection content.
Hoopla doesn't do Top 100s or Top 500s anymore as of January 2024. What they can do is "Top Load", which is popular titles across each format (about 85,000 records) and includes top DEI and non-English language titles.
Libraries also want to segment to just Juvenile, just audiobooks, etc.10 votes -
Remember Me for Account Login
Could we please get a "Remember Me" option for the account login page? Our patrons would like their devices to autofill in their library card numbers.

Allow lowercase letters to remain lowercase in translations.
We have noticed that in several places the second and third words start with a capital letter even though we have written the words in lowercase letters in the translation file. For Swedish (and more languages), it looks very strange when every word in a phrase or sentence begins with a capital letter.
Some examples:
"publisherInformation": "Information om utgivare", in Vega Information Om Utgivare"audience|general": "Allmän målgrupp", in Vega Allmän Målgrupp
"audience|juvenile": "Barn och ungdom (0–15 år)", in Vega Barn Och Ungdom
"audience|pre-adolescent": "Äldre barn (9–13 år)", in Vega Äldre Barn
"audience|preschool": "Yngre barn (0–5 år)", in Vega Yngre Barn

Allow libraries and collection sites to control what patron registration data shows in the patron profile
For example, patrons see a home branch, a registered branch, and a preferred pickup location. With our Polaris ILS, patrons don't actually have a home branch, so it looks like this just gets populated with their registered branch. Some patrons and staff have expressed confusion over this - it would be nice to be able to choose what fields from the patron registration display to the patron on their profile. Since we're a consortium, it would be especially nice if this could be controlled at the collection site level, rather than the higher level.

Translation of "This hold can not be frozen"
This message appears when trying to freeze a reserved material that is in transit or has already arrived at the reservation shelf. Our Vega is in Swedish so we wish that this message can translate to Swedish and other languages.

On Order Searching an sorting
'On Order Availability Facet - Allow users to limit searches to materials that are On Order' is on the roadmap for "later". We would love to see this added, including the ability to sort results by order date. We have developed a workaround by creating Material Types for On Order to allow these items to be searched and placed on hold; however, none of the existing sort options allow users to easily navigate these results. Users would like to be able to see newly ordered items appear first in the list so that they can check back regularly to see…
