Expand Content Scoping for Custom Sites/collections to include scoping by subject or material type
I'm trying to make an Accessibility Site/Catalog that focuses on our materials such as large print, braille, and audio. However, you can only use location/shelf location or collection type to as scoping parameters.
It would be lovely to be able to expand the scope to include subject headings, material types, genres, etc.

Add Harvard and Vancouver to citation options

Ask Us feature
Please provide an Ask Us feature similar to the one in the classic catalogue. Some libraries do have a contact email address listed in the library info dropdown, but others don't, and our patrons use the Ask Us feature regularly.

Community Tags
In Encore, libraries had the ability to add Community Tags. These were quite useful in searching for topics that aren't traditional LC Subject Headings. For example, on our website, we have a link to Kids Resources on various topics like "potty training" as a community tag, the LC heading is "toilet training". Or "healthy eating". We also have Award winners as tags - Caudill, Monarch, Bluestem award winners.

Logging when a customer logs into their Vega account
We would like to have some logging of when a customer signs into Vega. This would help us troubleshoot certain transactions the customer may have issues with. It would also provide counts for other types of usage reports pertaining to Vega usage.

Cover Art Selection for Rollups
With multiple records rolling up into one, sometimes the featured cover art visible in Vega for the entire rollup of a title is less than ideal (the image is from record with the newest copyright/publishing date). The only way to remedy this (I've been in touch with Syndetics) is to falsify the original record with an incorrect 020 or remove the 020 completely. It would be nice if libraries could a) manually force an image skip (ie choose the next image available), b) add our own generic images, or c) manually remove the image completely from a record without tampering…

(Vega Homepage) Allow Kids' Catalogs to add early language learning for specific showcases
We plan to experiment with customized code to build this feature, but it would be ideal to have the option to add a customizable text bubble at the top of specific showcases within the 'Audience Theme' set to 'Children.' This bubble could be edited by library staff. Our goal is to include early language learning prompts within each showcase category, such as 'What sound does a dog make?' under the Subject - Dogs, or 'What is your favorite bird?' under Birds. While we're confident we can implement this with custom JS, we are concerned that it might break with future…

search results # of holds display
Within the results page of a specific library’s catalog, the # of holds and # of copies listed for an item should only reflect the # of holds and # of copies for that library. If searching within a consortium's catalog, the # of holds and # of copies of an item should reflect the holdings of all libraries within the consortium. Only our patrons can borrow new titles from our library. So, indicating the number of holds on a title in our library would allow patrons to understand just how long they may have to wait for an item.…

on shelf at location.multi : bib locations should be mapped to bib records
We have 39 branches. Our magazines are fixed to one location. In Encore, the bib location mapped to the bib record so that library users knew where the magazines were located. Now, we just see the message: "on shelf at location.multi". This behaviour is not what customers want. They want to see the specific branch locations.
I have attached an example below.

Location info/filtering in account portal?
A patron was interested in being able to filter their bookmarked items by location in addition to Availability, i.e. to see at what location(s) the bookmarked items are available.

E-resources: Remove "Note" if more than one link
We're very happy to see the full text being displayed for multiple links when clicking "Access Online" - however we would also like to see in cases where there are multiple links for the "Note" field to be removed. It currently only displays the label for the first link, obfuscating our other sources.

Improve Surfacing of Syndetics Content
Presently all Syndetics content is "below the fold." It would be great if we could make this content more visible through one or more options:
-Allow for direct navigation links on record detail pages.
-Allow for direct access to desired Syndetics widgets via search resultsBoth are available in comparable discovery systems, see screenshots. Both would ideally be optional and configurable.

Vega: Cover link at top of series' search results
The series covers, information, and linkage that are available further down in search results make tracking specific volumes and placing holds accurately much easier. Unfortunately, many people don't like to scroll and if it's not up top they don't see it, don't use it, and become annoyed. It would be great if a "See full series" link showed at the top of the scroll and took them down to the appropriate information.

Ability to use Level 2 Location Codes separate from locations
For example blaf - Level 1 is bl = LINC Library Innovation Center, since we're a multi branch we need this in the Locations facet.
But now for the af = adult fiction, we would like this to be a separate facet like we did in Encore.

Ability to upload sitemap (XML and/or TXT)
It is standard website practice — and has been for over 15 years — to upload a sitemap for google and other search engines to ingest. This ability would help Google and others to index the catalog's contents within Vega, improving search result rankings (i.e. SEO) for Vega Discover catalog content.

autorenewals and C:239
autorenewals and c:239
Please allow items to be automatically renewable in the system without effort if the item isn't on hold.
Also please reinstate the searching code to limit to North Chicago Public Library easily. In Encore we could put " DVD and C:239" to limit to our DVDs in one step.
