Where are we??? - we own stuff VEGA!!!
In a large consortia the locations with smaller collections are not showing up. Only 40 sites show. This means the large libraries with more content are always displayed, and the big sites always get top billing. Our little librarys deserve the same exposure (maybe more). In the location facet all libraries should be listed if the result set includes content from their collections. Locations should be listed alphabetically and not by the number of items in the set.

SO frustrating! I have to search for our library every single time. It also requires so many clicks.

40... that's not many. I understand the need to limit the initial display and we both group libraries and have two tiers of display in our consortium but 40 is just too small as an overall limit. And we'd have several of the larger locations if our consortium ever moved to Vega.

Until we started training staff, who immediately look for items in their collection, we never realized that the limitations in the location view would leave locations out. For patrons who dont think to type in their library to search, it appears that there are no results. Only the large collections are represented by broad subject or prolific authors.
