  1. When patrons get a new barcode they currently lose access to their lists in Vega Discover. Lists should be tied to the PATRON ID not the barcode. Barcodes are temporary, IDs are the persistent identifier for a patron account and should not change.

    Patrons replace library cards frequently. They get lost or damaged. Patrons move from one home library to another within the system. Patrons get a new card when libraries offer new designs.

  3. When in the children's catalog, the Vega & Syndetics sections (Related Resources, Topics, etc) in the records should ideally only display children's titles. As an example, right now, when I pull up the Diary of a Wimpy Kid DVD, I'm seeing the Where'd You Go Bernadette DVD under Related Resources and A Man Called Otto DVD in Topics. We don't want to direct children toward adult titles.

    It would actually be great to also be able to hide any adult items from Related Resources, Topics, etc. anytime a record for children's material is being viewed, whether in the main Vega…

  4. We are still at the stage where we have to request search statistics, and the data is somewhat limited in nature:

    Currently, the two types of statistical overviews available are:

    1. A count of all visits* to any page over the desired time period.

    2. A count of all visits* to search results that were done over the desired time period.

    *The reports don't call them visits; they are called visitors. No idea if they are unique visitors?

    There are pageviews (down in lower right of screen shot) but support staff doesn't always include this information, seem to focus on just sending…

  5. 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.

  6. Our staff would like the ability to add a description to Showcases, in addition to the detail described in the Showcase title. I've attached an example from another discovery layer.

  8. Right now the default in bookmark lists is set to "Available" when it should be set to "All" as the default. Customers are confused as to where the rest of their bookmark list is and don't know they need to toggle to "All."

  9. Polaris (Leap and PAC) support the ability for a patron to opt to receive both an email AND text message or a phone call AND text message using the "additional text" checkbox feature. However, Vega only supports patrons selecting a single preferred notification method.

    Patrons often opt in to dual notifications at registration, but their Discover profile won't reflect the notifications they actually will receive. This is likely to create confusion and frustration for patrons as well as limiting the use of a valuable Polaris feature.

  10. Linking accounts in the account portal appears to have no effect on patron associations in Leap. Because linking and associating accounts have similar functions and names, it makes sense to more fully integrate them with each other. For example, if accounts are associated in Leap, create the link automatically in Vega Discover rather than requiring patrons to go through the whole passphrase process, and vice versa. Having two functions that are very similarly named and do almost the same thing will get confusing for staff and patrons.
