Add "Remove From Lists" option under the All Available Bookmarks window in the My Bookshelf bar.
Currently, the only way to remove an item from a list is by clicking into the list itself and selecting the materials. Since the All Available Bookmarks feature is the first in the Bookmarks tab, it makes sense that there would also be an option to remove materials there.

Reset Passwords/PIN with no email
Have the options to reset PINs via text message. Patrons without an email address in their record get an error message that an email couldn't be sent. There are a lot of patrons who do not like to give out their email, so having the reset link send via text would be useful.

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.

Add the Ability to Limit Display of Showcases by Collection Site
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.

Improve Locations Facet in Themed Kids Catalog
In the kid’s catalog version of Vega Discover for consortium use we are currently unable to neatly organize the location codes needed to limit the content to solely JUV materials. There can be many JUV codes in use for a single library which can be confusing for the patron if they’re looking for a specific library in the Locations facet.
Level 1 (library) codes do not appear in the Locations facet, even if the Level 2 (branch) codes are nestled under them. Being able to have a single location option for each library would be beneficial for the patron’s experience…

Add "Select All", "Add to List" and "Place Holds" buttons to the bottom of the search results.
The bulk holds and bulk bookmarking features are very helpful. This would be more user-friendly if the "Select All", "Add to List" and "Place Holds" buttons were repeated at the bottom of the page. This would allow the user to scroll down through the list and make selections and then act upon those selections when they reach the bottom of the page, before clicking on to the next page.
Currently, a user has to scroll down to make selections, then scroll all the way back to the top of the page to add selections to a list or place holds,…

Allow custom DNS sites to use /staff for access
We leverage discover.rhpl.org for our Vega Discover Premium catalog access but to access our staff portal we have to remember to use https://rhpl.na3.iiivega.com/staff/
Please allow premium users leveraging custom DNS to use their custom domain for /staff access as well.

Limit to One Branch Collection and Available Items at One Branch
I'd like to be able to limit search results to one branch's collection and limit search results available items in one branch's collection in just one or two obvious clicks.

Show Owning Library in Checkouts
Since some libraries in our consortium are fine free and others are not, patrons would like to know what library owns the item(s) they have checked out as to avoid unnecessary fines. Or they may simply like to return it to the owning library to save delivery work. Generally, it is good information to have visible to patrons.

Remove routing codes from locations in item display
We have libraries complain that patron are confused due to the routing codes being present after the owning library in the Vega display (see screenshot).
It would be great if we can somehow mask this, or add the locations to the translation file to get rid of this display.

Locator Buttons Too Confusing
I have worked at my current library for close to 6 months now. I cannot begin to describe the number of times a patron tells me they do not understand Vega Discover, or how to find out where an item is shelved. The filled in large green check mark is too distracting and confusing to patrons. That is a complaint I have heard repeatedly. The small open not filled in check mark with the library name is not visible enough to patrons, nor is it super obvious it's a hyperlink to the call number.
This particular piece of Vega Discover…

Site Level Showcase Roles
We are a consortium whose libraries SHOULD be able to manage their own showcases but should NOT be able to manage each others' showcases. Only we should be able to have system-wide showcase admin privileges. However, there is currently no showcase admin role at the collection site level, which means that we can't assign the showcase admin role to ANY of our libraries' staff users, since the current showcase admin role is simply too broad and all-encompassing. So we are left managing all our libraries' showcase admin tasks ourselves, which is less than ideal.
To be clear, we don't have…

What is the Problem we're solving and why?
Vega Consortia Libraries and Multi-Library Organizations would like to be able to manage showcase admin access by site. Site Level Showcase Admin Users should be able to quickly filter available showcases to those created in their Collection Site as well as retain view and use access to all showcases created by librarians in their organization.
Job Stories:
- As a Site Admin, I can assign Showcase Creators and Admins for specific sites, that are limited to creating and editing showcases in a particular site(s).
- As a Site Admin or Content Admin User, I can use the Home Page tools to filter, view, search, and find showcases that were made in the current Collection Site I am editing the Home Page display for.

Add Delete Button Under Item Image in Saved Lists
Patrons are finding it less intutive to delete items from their saved lists with the "Remove from List" link almost hidden in the very top right corner of the screen.
Each item in a saved list has a box around the image, the share button and select button are there. We also think the delete button, perhaps as garbage can icon, should be there as well.
(The "Remove From List" button can still be in the top right, if multiple items are selected, but for one-off deletions it should be easier and more clear how to do it).
I'll attach…

Customize no-reply@iiivega.com
Now that the Citation function has been improved to include the ability to copy or email, we are happy to have it as an option for patrons. Please allow us to set a from email for this as patrons will be confused by the no-reply@iiivega.com email address.
The same goes for the Share/Email option.
Even better, add Citation and Resource Page sharing to LX Starter so that we could customize a branded template for these patron-initiated emails.

add magazine issue to My Bookshelf checkouts and holds
Magazine issues do not display in the My Bookshelf checkouts and holds. If someone checks out many issues over a period of a couple of days or weeks, they have no idea which issue may be overdue or coming due.

Search by item barcode
Searching by item barcode was available in our previous discovery layer and staff found it very beneficial.

Search name of showcase
Ability to search the name of a showcase. (This is similar to a feature BiblioCore has where patrons can type "new dvds" and retrieve a pre-limited search results). So, this would enable libraries to create a showcase called New DVDs, and patrons would be able to easily find those materials.

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.
