Have cover image change when a different format tab is clicked
Currently, when viewing a roll-up that has no cover image, the format text stays the same regardless of which tab you click on. This results in, for example, the cover still saying Emagazine when you click on the Periodical tab (examples attached). If the image could update and say Periodical when you click on the Periodical tab, this would be less confusing for patrons.

order the contents of facets by # of hits or alphabetically
With Encore we could select how our branches (collections) sorted. With 39 locations this is important to us. Ideally there would be a synch between the patrons "home library" and the top branch, but for now, we would appreciate the ability to sort locations alphabetically. Seeing a differently ordered list after each search reduces usability.

Add note when payment is made via Vega in Transaction Summary
Add a note in patron's transaction summary to indicate that a payment was made in Vega. For example, when a payment is made in the PAC a note is added to the patron's transaction summary indicating that the payment was made via PAC, as shown in the attached photo. Currently when a payment is made via Vega the note field is left blank not indicating how the payment was made. Ideally, the message should read "Payment made via Vega," but a note of some kind should be generated to indicate how a payment was made.

Library Info Dropdown - address wrap
Currently, addresses in the Library Info widget wrap text, as opposed to having line breaks like a proper address. I.e. in the images, the one labelled "Carbon edit" is how we want it to show up, but it shows up as seen in "Carbon widget". Additionally, words are also wrapping when they shouldn't be in other areas, as seen in the image of "Keg River widget". We would like this to display in the same way that it looks in the editor.

Augment Vega search functionality
We conducted a test search for the following book title term:
fable haven
(The actual book / series title is Fabelhaven)It returns 13 results in our catalog, none of which are Fablehaven, nor did it suggest a “Did you mean fablehaven?" (Searching "fable haven" in quotes as an exact search returns 0 results, as it should).
It seems that the Vega search engine should be able to find relevant search results when this term is combined into one word, or should at least suggest “Did you mean fablehaven” in the case of searching fable haven as two words and…

Call Number Should Appear in Lists/"For Later" and easier way to print the list
Super frustrating to not be able to create a book list for displays or patrons needing a large amount of materials on a certain subject, and also not being able to easily print the list with the call number included. If there is an easier way to do this, please help me out: leticiag@harvard-diggins.org

Allow patrons to opt out of different notice types
Some customers only want hold pickup notifications. Others want hold pickup and overdue but not courtesy notices. I believe the fact that notices are all or nothing is a BIG reason why our emails get marked as spam. Please allow patrons to select which notices they receive. Even better, allow staff to decide if a notice is optional. For example, we understand if patrons don't want courtesy notices, but we will always send a bill becasue their borrowing privileges are blocked by then.

Allow Vega Homepage Showcases to be used elsewhere (External Sites)
We leverage the standard Vega showcases on our website (https://www.rhpl.org) but the Vega Homepage showcases offer better visibility. Please allow us to use these throughout our organization.

Give patron ability to add titles to Reading History
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.

Have fields to hold translations for Showcase titles
We currently use English, Chinese, French, Polish and Spanish languages as options in our Vega Discover. While toggling between languages, I noticed that embedded showcase titles remain in English regardless of the language selected (I wasn't expecting it to translate).
Proposed idea: Could there be an option to enter additional languages for Showcase titles that can be pulled when the overall platform language is changed so that native Chinese speakers see the librarian-inputted Chinese Showcase Title instead of the English title? If no alternate language title was entered, it should default to the English language title.
Thanks for your consideration!

add 505$t should be included in title search
The 505$t subfield should be included in the title search.
Here is an example of a situation where that is valuable. If a library user is searching for Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle" and uses the Title search, they will only find the actual work "Cat's Cradle". However, this book is also contained in short story compilations. They will miss this short story compilation which may better suit their reading needs.

Consortia and Hoopla Integration Within Vega
We are part of a consortium and have an enhancement request, specifically for our hoopla integration. Currently, we have to choose 1 library ID for title ingestion (Solano) and can choose a separate library ID for circulation (St Helena, for example). We choose the least restrictive library catalog to ingest all titles and then circulate based on the individual library. This causes patrons to be able to see titles that are in fact unavailable to them/not borrowable at their individual member library. This isn’t the ideal patron experience, so we would like to propose the following: we would like the…

Integrate Comics Plus API into Vega
We have a few libraries using Comics Plus, and they have requested that we integrate these materials into Vega. I understand that they do have an API.

further integrate Hoopla for consortium sites
I would suggest the following change for Hoopla integration for consortium sites.
- allow the API to auto-load/update the subset of records that Hoopla can provide, rather than the entire collection of 1.5M items
I understand this will require coordination with the Hoopla vendor, so I also understand this will not be easy or fast. :)

Utilize 341 and 532 to provide accessibility tags for print disabled patrons
Due to the Marrakesh treaty the 341 and 532 tags were created to make accessibility tags for print disabled patrons. Vega should enable the tags to make these tags available in Vega. I am attaching a sample from the National Network for equitable library services as an example.

Option to suppress due date
We would like the option to hide the due date column, since it's not very reliable information. Our consortium has autorenew, so there is no guarantee the items will be returned on the date that displays to patrons, in fact it's rather unlikely given the rate at which our items autorenew.

Home Page: The hero should loop
Currently, when a user gets to the end of the configured images, they have to use the back arrow. It would be a better user experience if the hero carousel navigated to the first image.

Make the language facet use the language from 008 field only
The 008 is the field we would prefer to use for the language facet and no other field. The 008 only field is consistently used in all our records. We stopped using the 240 fields in bib records, because that caused problems in Vega. The only time we use the 041 is when a title is bilingual. It would be a huge amount of work to update all our bib records. It is complicated how it currently works, and search results are confusing.
