It would be helpful for Vega Discover to let users know if they had previously checked out a title. This could display when patrons are checking out titles and/or in the search results or title record page.

Avid readers may forget they've read a title before. This can be true for standalone titles, but especially for series. It can be frustrating/annoying for patrons to realise they've read the title only once they've checked the material out and start reading at home. It would be very helpful for them to be able to have this identified when they're searching content and/or checking materials out.

(Obviously this should only work if the patron has opted in for the reading history.)

This is a very important feature for our homebound customers, shut-in borrowers, and those staff/users that help these customers. If someone has the permission to place holds for another user, they also need to know if title is currently checked out to that patron, borrowed in the past, or is already on hold for that customer.

Users that need others to help manage their holds depend on this. There are some homebound features in Sierra, but we have 3rd party agencies that will only use the catalogue to place holds. We have customers that see this functionality in Libby (Overdrive) and want to see the same functionality in Vega Discover.

This would also be very useful at checkout.
