Correctly Incorporate ISBD Punctuation in Title display
This is a problem that impacts AACR2 records, including a significant quantity of e-resources, government and vendor supplied bibliographic records>
Punctuation between subfields is treated as part of the subfield itself, causing irregularities in the display of several fields.
The way Vega removes the $h [GMD] from the MARC 245 field, and $b is present, the ISBD punctuation is also removed. {a [h] : b} becomes {a b}, some examples {a [h] / c} becomes {a } the : or / following the $h is added to the Genre field
According to ISBD rules the colon preceding the additional title…

Clicking next page should display the search results at the top of the page and not remain at the bottom of the search results
Currently when you click to go to the next page of search results, you remain at the bottom of the page, which means you have to scroll all the way to the top to view the next page of results, then scroll all the way back down to get back to page navigation to go to the next page. The navigation should either display the top of the search results when the next page is clicked and/or allow the page navigation to be accessed from the top of the page/search results also and not just the bottom of the page/search…

Change the website title of Passcode Reset webpage in Vega
To avoid potential patron confusion the ability to change the Vega website title from Welcome to Vega to something specific to your library when opening the Forgot My Passcode link would be helpful. For example, it might read "Library Name/Abbreviation Passcode Reset," which should eliminate any doubts about the nature of the webpage.

Show In Library Use status on the Search Page
We would like a way to show on the search page when an item is a In Library Use Only status. Right now, ours just says everything is available with no search button which can cause confusion for patrons. We want people to find these items so they know we have them, but to make it clear when looking at a search that they will have to come into the library to use it.

Include Call Number in Checkout Summary
We would like the checkout summary in Discover to have a call number column like it does in the PAC. Some libraries use the call number to store information for linked uncataloged items. Please see the two attached examples.

Add a call number index for searching
After testing a few call number searches, we are realizing that this feature would work best if there were an index for call number searching, to prevent erroneous results from appearing in the list. For example, if I want to search JUST Dewey call numbers of 300, I don't want to retrieve the movie with the title "300". Also, for our world language materials, we use call numbers to distinguish between Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, and we are getting a lot of additional results with the keywords "Traditional" and "Chinese" in the bib. records. We want to be able…

Ability to suppress English (US)
In the Localization settings configuration page, all languages listed can be selected or unselected except for English (US). Although we can make a different one the default, for those countries wanting to have a different English option (CA in our case), we have no option but having two English languages listed in the drop down menu. We would like to be able to suppress the English (US) option.

Require login to bookmark
We've received several tickets from our member libraries reporting that patrons' bookmarked items aren't being saved. It seems this happens because patrons are bookmarking items while logged out. Although Vega does display a warning that users need to log in to save bookmarks, we believe user errors could be minimized if the option to bookmark items were only available after confirming the user is logged in.

Make it easier to add a single title to more than one showcase.
Improve the staff function for creating bookmark lists to make it easier to add a title to multiple lists without increasing clicks required for adding a title to one list or remove a title from a list.

Turn off ability to cancel ILLs from holds list
In the course of trying to solve how an ILL had been cancelled before it even arrived, we learned that patrons have the ability to cancel them from their accounts. It would be nice to be able to customize the cancel button to not function for certain collections/ types of materials. ILLs take so much time and effort to obtain and process and it is frustrating that patrons can easily/accidentally cancel this.

Changes to Vega Passthrough Search
In Vega Discover, when executing a passthrough search, the external link icon is used as a button. This UI is confusing to patrons, who are expecting the catalog name to be the link or looking for a button that looks more like the other buttons on the page.
When the passthrough search only has one option, the option is a link, and that behavior is preferred. On the resource page, when there are more than one option, the external link icon appears, and the behavior is different. Our collection sites have more than one option, while the full collection Vega…10 votes -
Titles for Deleted Items in Reading History
In the public catalog, titles in your reading history will say “Resource is not available” if the record has been deleted. In Leap, you can still see the titles, but it will tell you the resource is not available when you click on it. It would be great if Vega Discover could be set up like the staff interface so customers could see what the titles are even after the records have been deleted.

Allow us to choose the display order in Vega when there are linked 880 fields
When looking at records in our catalog that have non-Roman vernacular script included in the 880 fields, it does not appear in the order in which it would best serve our patrons. I have included screenshots to illustrate how we purposely have the original language/vernacular script displaying in the 245 field so that it displays in the Title in brief results lists, and on the receipt and notices when patrons check items out for optimal patron service. However, despite our efforts, the transliteration is appearing foremost in search results in Vega instead of the original language/vernacular script, which is not…

Adding Irish as a language option
We would like to see Irish as a language option in Vega - we can provide the translation itself and just need the framework to be created.

Items with different content shouldn't be incorrectly combined into work displays
This is related to the suggestion "All metadata and content displayed for a work should use the same instance ISBN", but more specifically I'm seeing a problem with movies with different release years, but the same title (and same DVD publisher).
I can see this making sense for certain things - for example a book like The Grapes of Wrath, which we have several different editions of. The text is basically the same - there may be different forewords or other supplementary material, but for the most part it's less likely that a patron will be choosy about which edition…

Creating a Username in Vega Discover
Currently in the PAC, patrons are allowed to create a special username in place of library card barcode to sign in and use the account. However, Vega Discover does not have the functionality to go into My Bookshelf for example, and create a username for their account within the patron's settings. Is this functionality that can be added to the newer catalog in order to ensure that all patrons can have access to that feature?

Add Sort by Author for Bookmarks and Lists in patron accounts
Add Sort by Author Ascending/Descending options to Bookmarks and Lists in patron accounts.
Along with Title and Date Added, this is an option in WebPAC that patrons are used to having. It also makes sense to have consistent view/sort behavior across the catalog. So, since patrons are/will be able to sort search results, checkouts, holds, and reading history by author, they should be able to do the same with other lists, as well.

Consortia and Hoopla Integration Within Vega
We are part of a consortium and have an enhancement request, specifically for our hoopla integration. Currently, we have to choose 1 library ID for title ingestion (Solano) and can choose a separate library ID for circulation (St Helena, for example). We choose the least restrictive library catalog to ingest all titles and then circulate based on the individual library. This causes patrons to be able to see titles that are in fact unavailable to them/not borrowable at their individual member library. This isn’t the ideal patron experience, so we would like to propose the following: we would like the…
