Add Polaris's "Street 2" field to address display in Account Portal
The current "address" information in the Account Portal consists of the Street 1 field from Polaris on the top line and the City, State, and ZIP fields grouped on the second line. Our library uses Street 2 for apartment numbers and would like the option to display Street 2 in account portal so that patrons don't think part of their address is missing from our records.

Improve hold position for consortium sites
Could the hold position be refined so that a patron from Library A can see their position in line specifically for their home library’s copies? Leap already supports this—when the holds queue is filtered by the patron’s library, it correctly shows the local position.
For example, The Correspondent currently has 426 holds across the consortium. When I place a hold, Vega shows my position as No. 427 (see screenshot 1). However, my home library has several copies, and in Leap my local position is No. 11 (see screenshot 2).
It would be much clearer for patrons if Vega displayed their…

More options for OAI-PMH
Please allow more options for OAI-PMH connections. I was told that currently, only recollect is an option. I was trying to connect a repository that uses Islandora at the moment, but will be switching to ContentDM in 2026. I would love for both Islandora and ContentDM to be available for OAI-PMH so I can get some local historical collections into our library catalogue.

Allow for additional 3rd Party Integration
It would be great if 3rd Party Integrations for other providers could be developed for Vega Discover. For international libraries it would drastically improve the user experience if local databases could be connected for reviews (ex. Chilifresh) and author information (ex. Alex Författarlexikon here in Sweden).

Increase the number of showcases that can be added to a Hero Carousel
We feel the Hero Carousel is a good way to highlight items that do not have a cover image (ex. digital content such as streamed video).
However, it is currently limited to 5 showcases/URLs. It would be great if the number could be increased.

Add Google Translate plug in
Google translate currently works on Vega, but there is not a way to add the plug in to the header. Vega only has a limited amount of language translations built into the site. We want to give our patrons the ability to translate the site into additional languages.

please include 775 $a in Bibframe Concept: Agent (for translated works)
As the 245$c field is not indexed we are struggling with how to find authors of translated works. The 775$a often has the anglicized version of the author's name that appears on the cover of a work. This cannot be searched for right now because the 245$c is not indexed. If the 775$a were indexed, this would help.
Example:
Title of book: Cursed bunny /|cBora Chung ; translated by Anton Hur.
The 1XX and 6XX fields is the name authority: Chŏng, Po-ra,|d1976-|eauthor.The 775 field is this:

Vega Admin - Locations lists
We are a system with a single listing for both Level 1 and Level 2, and all of our 'locations' (and future/placeholder locations) are Level 3.
1 - Level 1
2 - Level 2
3 - Library Name - Level 3
4 - Library Name - Level 3
5 - Library Name - Level 3We had intentionally placed our internal services 'locations' at the end of the list so they would be less likely to be interfiled with our listed locations.
These locations seem to be sorted by digit (1, 10, 11, 12) even when its number isn't listed,…

using the browser back button after logging in produces an authentication error
If you are on a resource page, log in, and then use the browser back button, there is an authentication error. The error page cannot be edited. The error page is not intuitive and provides no way back to the main catalogue.
The error is: Unexpected error when authenticating with identity provider".
That has not been well received by our staff & customers.

Add APA to citation options
In our part of the world, APA is mostly used for citations. We would like to see this added to the format list alongside the existing MLA and Chicago.

Serials: Issue Selection Modal box
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…

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.

Display the MARC 773 field and index 773 $t
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…

Bring back autofilling the 'Showcase block title'.
Recently this was fixed in Vega intentionally, however this auto-filling used to save our staff time in their weekly tasks. Ideally when you select a showcase, the title would be auto populated into the 'Showcase block title' box. Instead, it remains unchanged from the previous showcase. In the page preview, the showcase itself successfully changes (the books reflect the new selection), but the title doesn't update. This means our staff must type in the title each time.

Item record synchronization with Discover
Currently when the OPACMSG is changed from [NEW] to [--] in the item record it does not change the view in Discover. For Discover to reflect this change, you must suppress and then unsuppress the bib and then run a record extraction. Our patrons/staff use this message to know whether they are to look on the NEW display or in the stacks.
This same request was placed back in November 2023 by Alison P.:

Show personal/contextual information in patron list view
In line with ideas about customizing the experience more to the patron, and adding more useful information to the lists feature, I would like if the messages like "you have one copy checked out" or "you have one copy on hold" appeared when patrons are looking at their own lists (like it does on resource pages, but without having to click into each one to see the status). It could also be tied to data from the reading history to say "borrowed once before," etc. This would help patrons who are researching a topic and bookmarking many potential resources, or…
