Prioritize Physical Holdings
Currently, Vega Discover displays eContent such as Hoopla and CloudLibrary records before physical holdings in the search results. We would like to have our physical formats appear first in our results.

Update Timing/Notifications
It would be great if updates to the system could be performed overnight. If that isn't possible, it would be nice to receive a message 24 hours out so that we can alert patrons to functionality issues.

Request to Increase Character Limit in Announcements
The current 250-character limit in Vega Discover's announcement feature significantly restricts our ability to convey essential, detailed information in a single message. This limitation is particularly challenging when addressing complex situations that impact multiple services. Our public relations team is compelled to create multiple, shortened versions of the same announcement to fit this constraint, leading to an inefficient communication process that does not align with the capabilities of modern CMS platforms.
Increasing the character limit to at least 500 characters is a necessary enhancement. It will enable us to deliver comprehensive and clear messages without the need for creating multiple…

Expand Synching of ILS Codes
While "Material type, status, and (Sierra only) message code synchronization" is offered, it doesn't appear that we are able to sync other fixed fields that are changed in an item record. For example, updating the OPACMSG field in the item record is not reflected in Vega, even after running the sync. Changing the OPACMSG in an ITEM record does not get activated by the sync function in Vega admin…you must update the bib as well and then run the extraction (or wait overnight). Aside from making the documentation more clear, ideally syncing is expanded to reflect changes to items w/out…

New format tab for bilingual material
It would be nice to have an additional format of bilingual material. 041 would have multiple |a.
Currently it is rolled up with the regular print and is only notable if there is an edition statement, which I don't believe is typical.23 votes -
OPAC Message changes in real-time streaming updates
Currently, changes to the OPAC Message field in the item record do not display in Vega unless the BIB record has also been changed. If the BIB has been changed, the OPAC Message change will be picked up during overnight extraction; however, if the BIB isn't edited, the change is never picked up.
Currently, we use the OPAC Message field to display important shelf information. Changes to this field are made at each location by staff that do not have permissions to edit BIBs. The only way to ensure that these changes display in Vega is for staff to let…

Create consistency between images
Currently, Syndetics Unbound shows a colored box with the title if the MARC has no ISBN/UPC (020 or 024). When ISBN/UPC is present but Syndetics Unbound does not have an image, a grayed-out book icon displays. It would be aesthetically pleasing if the images for these two scenarios were consistent.

Bookmarks Labels
I think the For later and Bookmarks labelling can be clarified. It would be clearer if the Bookmarks label is changed to 'Items saved for later' or simply 'For later' so there is a direct co-relation, making it a tad bit easier for new users to understand where 'For later' items go.

Auto-scroll for carousels on home page
Provide the option to turn on some form of autoplay/autoscroll for carousels on the Vega homepage.
This would be helpful to enable at least for the hero carousels to allow for more exposure to slides after the first.

Don't ignore paren in uniform titles
Our live action and animated Disney films are rolling up together because Vega ignores parentheses in uniform titles.
Each have separate and distinct 130 tags (uniform title) but because the authorized uniform title headings are Aladdin (Motion picture : 1992) for the animated and Aladdin (Motion picture : 2019) for the live action and because Vega ignores text in parentheses in titles, it's treating both as just "Aladdin" and rolling up both as a single record.

Further refine the availability filter to work for Overdrive titles
The availability filter is more helpful now that it can filter out titles which have no physical items available. Checking "at library" does indeed find only titles that have an item available on the shelf. Thank you! But if you check "online" for availability, it just shows everything from Overdrive - it doesn't actually filter out the unavailable Overdrive titles.
6 votesThis cannot be done for OverDrive and other econtent. Vega has to ping the econtent vendor API for each individual title separately in order to get 'availability' status. It's impossible to do this for all search results rather than just the displayed page of results and return correct availability on the fly for a facet.

Diacritics for Foreign Language records
World Language displays with diacritics, especially Spanish, French, German. The diacritics may appear ok in Polaris Client bib record, but it is intermittent whether they appear correctly in Vega.
i.e. Author: Laurie Friedman titles in French -
1. title appears ok as "Milly l'espiègle et le bébé en pleurs" but summary is not ok.
2 another title appears incorrectly as "Milly l'espi?gle et les cl?s disparues"Both titles are ok in Polaris.
2 votesClosing since the follow-up is that diacritics seem ok.

We will not be indexing the 440 into series. This field has been obsolete since 2008. Please use a bulk modification of your records to move 440 data to a supported field like 490.
