Locator Buttons Too Confusing
I have worked at my current library for close to 6 months now. I cannot begin to describe the number of times a patron tells me they do not understand Vega Discover, or how to find out where an item is shelved. The filled in large green check mark is too distracting and confusing to patrons. That is a complaint I have heard repeatedly. The small open not filled in check mark with the library name is not visible enough to patrons, nor is it super obvious it's a hyperlink to the call number.
This particular piece of Vega Discover leaves a lot to be desired by patrons.

We have a similar issue being a single location library, it is not obvious that patrons have to click on our library name to see the shelving location for materials. We flipped on the option to show the call number info on Vega Discover without the patron having to be logged in, but now it shows that an item is on shelf, then it gives the library name, and then it shows View All Locations, but we only have one location.
