My Bookshelf Personal Lists option to view in text format v.s. Images
In the My Bookshelf Area, which includes Checkouts, Holds, Bookmarks, Saved Lists, Reading History and Showcases, it can be cumbersome for those patrons with large lists to view them. Patrons (and staff) are missing the ability to view multiple titles without having to scroll and would like the option to view these lists in a text format instead of what is currently available.

The greyed out cookie screen continues to prevail. Many calls ended up being a result of the cookies screen.

Login issues: unexpected error messages, one patron said the site did not recognize her account.

Reading history does not sort by author (the function is there, it just does not work accurately)

We prefer the older catalog that automatically showed all call numbers for the libraries without having to sign in that had the title in their collection. We should offer more useful information than less.

A patron said that they keep a huge history (over 90 titles) of what they have checked out, and having images of the covers makes it difficult for him to search what he's read. He has slow internet and the loading of images takes time.

The required acceptance of cookies sometimes appears below the sight of customers. This interferes with their experience of the catalog.

It would be helpful to have an option to view the list of materials without pictures but with all of the other list info. Some of my patrons have complained that it takes forever to scroll past all of the pictures to find what they're looking for, and the grid version doesn't include enough info (and still has the pictures, which take a long time to load on some devices).

I also have patrons requesting that these lists be printed without images, as well.

It would be great if there was a "printer friendly" alternative to print patrons reading history in Vega. Some patrons have thousands of titles in their reading history and the current print option would print pages and pages.

Yes! It's almost impossible for patrons to print out their lists. The only workaround we've come up with is taking screenshots and pasting those into a separate document. Which is pretty cumbersome. Patrons liked the view in classic catalog.

patrons have expressed their desire for a text based history list with my libraries.

So far one of the biggest complaints that our patrons have had is how the reading history and checkouts lists display. Having an option for the lists to display in a basic text form would be a much appreciated change.
Being able to export the lists with just basic information like title, author, and checkout or due date information would be a nice change as well. -

To add to this: Our users would like to be able to print out their bookmarks or export them, just specific information (author/title/call number) like they can in the classic catalog (which the staff prefer over Vega). They don't want the book jacket, roll up stuff, shelf locations, etc.

A list view for bookshelf is definitely something our customers are going to want.
