Display subfield c from 520 in summary
Currently, the summary from the 520 field is displaying on the full resource card and dynamically updating by format, which is great. However, the subfield c is hidden, so anytime there is a subfield c present, there are simply two dashes at the end of the summary, suggesting that there might be something missing or cut off (which there is, in fact). Can the subfield c please be displayed along with the summary?

Support "additional text " feature for notifications in Polaris in Discover
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.

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,…

Grid view for showcase content
Patrons have noted that when showcases feature a large number of items, they find it frustrating to navigate the full showcase Library List display. Several have asked about whether an option to switch to a grid view can be added, similar to the option that is available to them in the search results.
Example: Showcases generated from ILS lists (e.g. Create Lists in Sierra) often contain a large number of items. When a user clicks View All on a showcase carousel, or clicks on a showcase collage, the amount of scrolling to peruse the Library List of items becomes a…

Adding the word "Search" under the magnifying glass icon
When you navigate to another page in Vega Discover, we're seeing some confusion with users on how to perform a new search. We wondered if it would be helpful to have the word "Search" underneath the magnifying glass icon in the top right hand corner of the page.

marc record
MARC record visibility: Give libraries the ability to suppress the Full MARC record link. Our MARC records contain information that could be used to identify specific staff members.

offer hyperlink to eResource site
We have had feedback from customers and staff that they would like the option to pass through to the eResource vendor from the resource record (via the 856). There is a "details" > "Note (electronic)" field that could be hyperlink.
Right now many libraries have their 856 $z or $y in the Note (Hyperlink) field that says something like "Click here..." or "Click link" - but this field is not hyperlinked.

Increase length of title and author in Showcases
The amount of characters for the title and author names is limited (exact number seems to vary) and they are therefore not being completely displayed in Showcases. Can this be increased so in more cases the full title and name is displayed?

Add an integrated Book Tips feature
We would like to propose for a new feature to be developed that our librarians can use to publish book tips directly on our Vega Discover homepage.
Ideally, on the homepage a title image can be displayed with a short, descriptive blurb written by the librarian and clicking it would lead to the actual a dedicated Book Tips page where the full entry is displayed, as well as earlier entries. The destination page itself can either be fully integrated part of into Vega Discover itself or link out to an a customizable external website URL (the URL should in that…

Make the color of the search box customizable
We would like to make the color of the search icon and other icons that have the same orange color to be customizable. This would increase the possibility to create the same look and feel that the other websites of our city have.

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…

Vega Admin setting to restrict patron code access to third-party content
Offer a setting in Vega Admin to restrict access to third-party content (e.g., CloudLibrary) by patron code, such as controlling visibility and/or buttons to place holds and checkout.
Problem
The vendor records are ingested into Vega, but access restrictions enforced in the vendor’s app and website are not applied in Vega. As a result, certain patron codes can still place holds and check out digital items. When they visit the vendor's app/website, they are not granted access to the item.These patron codes:
Are not permitted to access our digital library (e.g., CloudLibrary).
Are permitted to use the catalog and…4 votes -
Add Delete Button Under Item Image in Saved Lists
Patrons are finding it less intutive to delete items from their saved lists with the "Remove from List" link almost hidden in the very top right corner of the screen.
Each item in a saved list has a box around the image, the share button and select button are there. We also think the delete button, perhaps as garbage can icon, should be there as well.
(The "Remove From List" button can still be in the top right, if multiple items are selected, but for one-off deletions it should be easier and more clear how to do it).
I'll attach…

Create a data sync process or 'integrity check' for Vega/Polaris
We have had issues recently where items have been transferred to new bib. records and disappeared from Vega as a result and others where items were deleted and disappeared as expected, but then never reappeared once they were undeleted.
We would like to have a database sync process that can be run which compares the Vega database against the ILS to confirm that everything is in sync - basically a cross-system data integrity check or verification process between systems that would let us know if there was anything that was out of sync so we could investigate and correct it.

Sort by call number
Staff use the catalog to pull materials for displays and storytimes, and sorting by author or title doesn't do them any good when looking in Non-Fiction, or when looking across multiple collections. For example, if they were looking for display items for Dragons they are going to be possibly in a few different Dewey numbers as well as in all the subsets of fiction, so running a search and being able to sort by call number would help them find the items as efficiently as possible.

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.

Switched to Ingram and need to link directly to Vega Discover and not PAC
Support has said Ingram links only with PAC. We do not use PAC. Can this functionality please be added to connect directly to Vega Discover? Thank you.
8 votesI've sent an email out to Amy but can libraries chime in in the comments about what workflow and function you are asking us to support in Vega Discover? From the description is seems like you're saying that Ingram cannot link to Vega and that sounds like an Ingram issue to resolve and not a Vega issue to resolve. I could use additional context and workflow information to help find an answer to this problem for you!
Best Regards,
Samantha Cunning.

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.

Customize no-reply@iiivega.com
Now that the Citation function has been improved to include the ability to copy or email, we are happy to have it as an option for patrons. Please allow us to set a from email for this as patrons will be confused by the no-reply@iiivega.com email address.
The same goes for the Share/Email option.
Even better, add Citation and Resource Page sharing to LX Starter so that we could customize a branded template for these patron-initiated emails.

Vega Admin - Allow systemwide closure date with adjustments
When setting up closure dates, it would be helpful to offer an option to setup a systemwide closure date (may be adjusted for each location).
As a single library system, we only occasionally close an individual location; most closures would apply to all locations.
Some closures may be need to be adjusted, such as a systemwide closure for a hurricane and turn off each location's closure as we reopen the buildings.
