Merge Vega Nickname with Sierra Alias
We are using the alias in the patron record in Sierra (field group tag c). This field group is indexed in the barcode-index, and patrons can use the alias for logging in to the patron account. The alias can also be used for logging in to the computers at the libraries and also for checking out e-media.
Setting/changing the nickname in Vega has no correlation to the alias in Sierra and only works for logging into Vega.
We fear this might be a bit confusing for our patrons.
So we think changing the nickname in Vega should also insert/update the…4 votes -

Toggle "Display Showcase on Record Pages" for ILS Lists and Saved Searches
In the showcases made from bookmark lists, we can select whether to show the list on the record pages. This feature is not available for showcases made from ILS Lists or Saved Searches.
Some showcases from ILS Lists and Saved Searches may not be beneficial to patrons viewing record pages, even though we may generate showcases to embed on a website or to view for ourselves.
Scenario 1: ILS List that compiles Bib records that the image covers do not display correctly. This showcase would help our staff and support ticket responder(s) see whether the applied changes are working as…

Account portal: make Holds and Checkouts icons clickable
Make the two large purple icons, not just the text below them, link to their sections. Especially on mobile, this would be more user friendly. I find myself expecting them to be buttons. Some patrons may have to zoom in to accurately tap the text links.
It could be the icons or even the entire rectangular boxes and everything in them.

Option to hide "Request any edition" button
We would like there to be an option to hide the request any edition button, so that patrons would always have to pick a specific edition. We do very little weeding of older editions and have a large collection of early printed books which can be mixed in with regular open access copies, so depending on the holds ratio patrons could get served up a much older edition of a book than is useful for them if they use the more prominent "Request any edition" button.

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.

Limit loan period of renewal if patron's account will expire during renewal.
Currently our settings for patrons renewing their loans via Discover are overly simple--if the setting allows them to renew their items, you can choose yes or no to allow them to renew when their account is expiring during the renewed loan. If the renewal period could be limited to the expiry of the patron account, it would provide a good opportunity to remind patrons that they need to renew their account.

Add Harvard and Vancouver to citation options
We would like to see Harvard, Vancouver, and APA added to the available citation options. There has already been an idea submitted for APA, so adding one for Harvard and Vancouver here too.

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.

Showcases should retain bib type focus
When building a Showcase using the "Create from ILS List" function, the resulting list should float the bib type used to create the list to the top for display.
For example, I've created a list of new DVDs and have built a showcase based on that list. The resulting showcase defaults to displaying the Blu-ray tab. Because the ILS list includes the record number, and I know you can link directly to a specific tab using that record number, we should be able to highlight those specific types in the showcase, if not by default, then it should be an…

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.

please add Blackstone as a supported eVendor.
Supported eResource vendors have added visibility in Vega Discover. We have integrated bibliographic eResources with that vendor and would like to maximize the visibility of this vendor.

Integrate Archive-It API into Vega
Archive-It is a popular archive vendor and integrating into Vega Discover would be of great benefit to libraries and patrons that use the service.

(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…
