Show last activity date in item info
Our libraries have requested that the "circ date" from the classic catalog be also displayed in Vega. As displayed in the screenshots, what the catalog calls the "circ date" is actually the last activity date in the item record in Polaris. This way staff and patrons know when an item last went in transit or enroute to a patron or was checked in/out. Ideally, it could either display in the Edition information area or in the Location drawer (both pictured in screenshots below).

This would help us a lot for the same reason Wright mentioned--we use last circ date when we can't find a book on the shelf and want to see if it might be waiting to be reshelved, or if it's been years since it circulated. The absence of this feature is a major reason I end up using the Classic Catalog interface instead of the new one.

This would help us to locate recently returned items - to know if an item may be fresh off the automatic returns handler and still in the Sort area or, if in a book cart garage, which cart to look through.
