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.

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 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…

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…

Port the Polaris Vega login page over to Sierra
Sierra libraries that are currently using the cumbersome ipsso integrated login page have to keep using that page if they move to Vega. Polaris libraries can use a unique to Vega login page/widget that needs little to no configuration. (Correct me if I'm wrong about that.) We would have loved to ditch our crusty old ipsso page and not have to worry about it anymore when we bring Vega online but as a Sierra library we don't have that option.

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…

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 -
Failed Extraction Alert in Vega Admin
Add an alert feature to Vega Admin that will notify select users when an extraction fails. Currently, when an extraction fails in Vega Admin, there is no way to know unless you manually check the logs. This can be time-consuming and frustrating. By adding an alert feature, users will be notified immediately or on desired intervals when an extraction fails, allowing the user to take action quickly and minimize issues as a result of the failure.

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.

My Bookshelf Personal Lists option to view in text format v.s. Images
In the My Bookshelf Area, which includes Checkouts, Holds, Bookmarks, Saved Lists, Reading History and Showcases, it can be cumbersome for those patrons with large lists to view them. Patrons (and staff) are missing the ability to view multiple titles without having to scroll and would like the option to view these lists in a text format instead of what is currently available.

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.

Limit Collections in main site as well as collection sites
It would be great if there was a way to limit "Collections" on the main Discover search the same way you can limit on individual collection sites. In our particular use case, we have a single member library that has items in a collection that should only be visible on their collection site. Excluding that collection from all other collection sites is easy, but there isn't a way to do it on our main site. Thanks for your consideration!

Permanent Links
Permanent link to Vega records. When records are changed, the Vega ID changes and thus the link changes resulting in broken links. Please create permanent links for Vega records that aren't affected by changes to the item or bib records in Polaris.
