Denote items from Reading History in catalog search
It could help patrons with extensive reading histories (e.g. patrons using outreach services for retirement homes etc.) improve their discovery journey when they are logged in, if items from their reading history were somehow denoted in search results as, for example, "already borrowed" or "borrowed in the past".

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.
