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

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…

Syndetics Summaries
It would be great if the Syndetics summaries were accessible in Vega. In Encore we had Content Café, and clicking on the book cover returned a page like the one below. Patrons (and staff) really miss summaries on future release books we don’t have summary information for.

Schedule and allow us to set "send to" for Vega Analytics through our staff portal rather than requiring Clarivate intervention
We've learned that we can request our Vega analytics from our site manager, but we'd like to be able to schedule and set send to within the staff backend.

Reporting of Sessions, Visitors, Pageviews, Search Terms Used
We are still at the stage where we have to request search statistics, and the data is somewhat limited in nature:
Currently, the two types of statistical overviews available are:
A count of all visits* to any page over the desired time period.
A count of all visits* to search results that were done over the desired time period.
*The reports don't call them visits; they are called visitors. No idea if they are unique visitors?
There are pageviews (down in lower right of screen shot) but support staff doesn't always include this information, seem to focus on just sending…

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.

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.

Clickable/Interactable Library Information within the refine menu
One of our member libraries mentioned this as a possible feature request for Vega Discover.
They stated, "A great would be if you can click the library name to display item availability if under the location drop down if you can also display the library address and phone number. This would make it easy to click the phone number to call the library to check on real time status of an item for patrons etc. Very useful for staff and patrons!
Let's also have the library address be a clickable link that hops into google maps to navigate to the…

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.

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.

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.

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.

Separate out the You May Also Like settings in Syndetics so we can turn off similar series without turning off top picks
We have the ability to turn off "Other books in the series" in our Syndetics settings which turns off the gray covers for items not owned in that section, but unfortunately we have no way to turn off just the "Similar Series" section of "You May also Like" without also turning off the "Top Picks" for individual titles in the "You May also Like" section. We would like "Top Picks" to be separate from "Similar Series" in the settings for "You May Also Like" so we can turn off one without turning off the other.

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.

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.
