  1. Many libraries host weekly or monthly events, it would be helpful to have a reoccurring event block option in the Homepage Builder instead of having to input a date/time for each individual event.

  2. Expand the current social sharing via X and Facebook to add Instagram, as many libraries have Instagram presence.

  3. Currently when a showcase is published, that showcase shows up for any titles that are in it, even if that showcase is for a different Library/collection site. The ability should be added to limit the display of showcases to only certainly collection sites, such as only a Library's own collection/kiosk sites. This would be most useful in an consortium.

  4. For a better customer experience with our Chinese titles, we created some new non-MARC language codes in Sierra to separate out the Simplified and Traditional Chinese titles. Vega does not support non-MARC language codes, so it shows as codes instead of the label in Vega.

    We'd like to see Vega be able to pull codes from the LMS along with their label.

  5. Clicking on All Menu to get to All Links, displays an unattractive view with a big block of dark screen. Is it possible to get rid of this block of dark screen or make it visually more appealing.

  6. Vietnamese would be a great addition to the list of available languages in Discover's configuration as we serve a large Vietnamese community.

  7. REQUEST: Ideally suppression rules would be the same as currently followed in the ILS (Sierra and Polaris) along with requesting parameters. Would help with reference only collections that can't be checked out/removed from building but say 'checked in'

  8. Here is the scenario: You do a search by title from the main search bar in Vega Discover. You scroll through the results and then decide to do an author search. Instead of scrolling back to the top of the page to use the main scroll bar, you just click the orange search icon in the top right corner and enter your author's name. The results will be that you get no results. The top search icon defaults to the last search option: All, Author, Concept, Series, Title. Users may/do not understand this and are confused by the lack of…

  9. Sometimes patrons can be confused concerning eMaterials not displaying the app that they receive the materials on. Being able to edit the vendor name under Edition Information (Additional Information in our case) would be helpful in mitigating that confusion.

  10. Patrons using laptops with smaller display resolutions are finding the limited height of the account display frustrating, as they can only see one item at a time and scrolling via touchpad can be difficult. Many have asked if an option to extend the display to cover the full height of the screen could be made available.

  11. We would like to see a new format of "Graphic Novel" which would not roll up with other books that have the same title and author. It could use the fixed fields in the MARC record when the 008 is for books with a 6 in "Nature of contents" (positions 24-27). This would help prevent us from having to add our own manufactured subtitles just to get certain graphic novels to stop rolling up with the book version.

  13. We have over 23,000 bibliographic records in our legacy ILS that represent articles within serials and we continue to add new ones on a regular basis. We use the MARC 773 field to list the parent serial title, volume and issue number, and pages of the article, but this field does not display in Vega or Leap, making these articles impossible to find (unless a staff member views the MARC in Polaris.)

    Also, 773 subfield $t is not indexed so these records are not findable by a title search for the parent journal, only by searching the title and/or author…

  14. The planned/upcoming feature (as of January 2025) to add the ability to filter My Bookshelf lists by item availability is a nice addition. However, in looking at the preview, staff have expressed concerns that some patrons may find the carousel display of featured available titles too much, as a common theme we hear in feedback about the My Bookshelf feature in general is that there is too much scrolling and clicking involved to navigate it. The planned feature includes an option to collapse the view, which is nice, but allowing patrons an option to either set the default view to…

  15. We have patrons that read books not provided by the library and would like the ability to add those titles manually into their reading history. This way they can have all of them in the same spot. I imagine this would act similar to something like Goodreads.

  16. When searching for Serials within Vega, and attempting to Place Holds, we'd like to point out / suggest two things:

    • Add a Select All option and/or individual checkboxes on each issue (add ability to place bulk hold for multiple serials)
    • Address the empty Search results modal / dialog box, since it gives users no feedback on what they're seeing when there are no matching results. It should at least show "Your Search Returned (0) results" or something.

    Attached first screenshot show a typical list of serials with the individual Place Hold buttons. This is where it would be…

  17. When a customer logs into their account in Vega, their profile screen displays automatically. This screen should be visible only when selected by the customer. This is especially problematic when a customer is logging into their account in a public area. It is a privacy issue.

  19. Currently, when I library is temporarily closed for a renovation, we noticed different behavior in Discover vs. the PAC when it comes to default pickup location. We think the way it used to work is better.

    In Discover that patrons registered to that library (who have no preferred pick up location) set on their profile... Discover will default to the first one alphabetically. This is a problem for us as a consortium because now patrons are clicking through and sending things to the library that starts with A for pickup. Yes, they can select another one, but most will just…
