Social Sharing of Lists
This is a combination of 2 ideas: Patrons would like to share lists they've created, and some patrons like to "Follow" others. We could create a new world of library "influencers" such as what is on social media, by having "Library Influencers" - those with over x number of followers. Patrons could select who they want to follow, and lists could be shared over social platforms.

Default to displaying list content by newest first
When a patron goes into a list of bookmarks, the default sort order is oldest first. I would prefer it if the resources I just added appear at the top of the list without having to scroll or re-sort.

No Results - Customize Messaging/Offer Alternatives
When a patron gets no results and gets either the "did you mean?" or the search tips pages, would like a way to include some customized links to other options/services we offer, for example, our Interlibrary Loan and our Book Match services. Many patrons have no idea that if we don't own a title, we can get it for them via ILL. Or if they are just searching on a topic and not getting anything, perhaps our Book Match service may do the trick. Or just to tell users to speak with a reference librarian.

Display 856 links in search results view when focused on the applicable format tab
When 856 links exist, display them when the appropriate tab is selected in the roll-up within search results. Currently, the links only display on the format tab after you open the title resource page.

Search via shortcut codes
I have had a couple of libraries ask me about this:
will we be able to use the abbreviations from advanced search like in Encore in Vega? i.e. c:117 limits to my library, f:a. I use that all the time to help patrons and find resources quicker both in Sierra and Encore.
For further clarity:
Some libraries like to use the shortcut codes—once you know them, it’s faster and easier than using the facets to narrow down your search.
In her example, she’s using the Encore advanced search, limiting the format to books and to her collection. When you do…

Mobile Phone Number Should Map to the 'p' Field Instead of the 'o' Field
While testing out editing patron information in Vega, we ran across an issue. The mobile phone number field in the patron record edit maps to the 'o' field which we use in Sierra as a parent name field. It would make more sense to map to 'p' (telephone2) for us.
Current Workflow
- The patron logs into Vega Discover.
- From their profile, they edit their information to add/edit a Mobile phone number.
- That phone number is mapping to Sierra's 'o' field

Add customization to pickup location display
There are times when it makes sense to edit the pickup location text or reorganize the listing. Our consortia central offices processes ILL requests for the correctional facilities in our region and also recieves items in delivery for cataloging and staff requests. We are not open to the public. The pickup location is necessary as a selection, but we would like to move it to the end of the list and label it with "Staff Use Only", as we did in Encore. Another example is a temporary closure or access issue that could be communicated at the time of selection

Include 'other title info' with original title in brief search display for translated works
It would be very helpful for staff when assisting patrons searching for materials in other languages if the 240 field with the original title in English was also displayed in the brief search results so the staffer could easily and quickly identify the title in English that the patron is searching for in the other language.

Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD roll-up improvements
Improve the roll up logic for Blu-rays and 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays so they display as separate tabs.

baker and taylor integration/Boundless
I would really love to see the Baker and Taylor "Boundless" interface refined. Talking to reps from B and T, it appears that the API is currently able to pass credentials, however in Vega you have to log into the B and T site to retrieve items. It would be more seamless and less confusing for patrons to at least authenticate them on the site when checking "get item" from Vega. Eventually, a tight integration like what we have with Overdrive would be awesome.

Showcase list or searching
Ability to list/search showcases on the patron side. An example would be to list/search showcases by the creator, the teen department.

Be able to suppress holdings by branch
Currently, the only way to stop a branch's holdings from appearing in Vega is to uncheck "display in PAC" for each item assigned to that branch. It would be nice to have the ability in Vega admin to automatically suppress a branch (as we can in Polaris System Administration for PowerPAC)

If search returns no results, suggest Link+
If a patron searches Vega and gets zero results, can the results page say something like, "Can't find what you're looking for? Try Link+"
See an example from another library's catalog that does this.

Have cover image change when a different format tab is clicked
Currently, when viewing a roll-up that has no cover image, the format text stays the same regardless of which tab you click on. This results in, for example, the cover still saying Emagazine when you click on the Periodical tab (examples attached). If the image could update and say Periodical when you click on the Periodical tab, this would be less confusing for patrons.

Allow selecting a home library when in Site configuration
After creating a site in the site configuration, you can limit to a specific location like main library or branch library. I would like to be able to chose all of our locations but be able to specify a "home" library which would reorder the collection location identical to when you log in to an account. This "home library" would still show all the locations having copies but would reorder them giving a specific location preference. You could also use this to select and display specific hours and info in the library info window. I'm thinking of this for an…

Allow us to turn off/hide Export Citation link.
We would like to be able remove "Export Citation" from the Options menu that appears on resource cards since it requires use of another service and we think this will just lead to confusion for our patrons.

Context of strings
When editing the Manage Translations strings, it would be helpful to know where we could look at the context for strings and/or confirm that a change was implemented.
For example, there are various "GET IT" strings, such as:
"getFromAmazon": "Get from Amazon",
"getIt": "GET IT",
"getItBtn": "get it",
"getItem": "Get Item",
"getMaterial": "Get Material",
"holdGetIt": "Get It"It would be helpful to have clarity on where/the context in which each of these is used.
