Prioritize Physical Holdings
Currently, Vega Discover displays eContent such as Hoopla and CloudLibrary records before physical holdings in the search results. We would like to have our physical formats appear first in our results.

This is not the case, Vega does not prefer econtent above physical collections. Vega displays all content in search results in relevancy order based on the search query. Information about our relevancy can be found in the Supportal by searching Vega Relevancy.
Because the Hoopla collection is so large (~2million records), it can overwhelm search results in smaller library collections based on relevancy.
Completed Updates for Vega:
Hoopla (and other econtent) rollup improvements based on Author Name matching, articles, and language that were applied in in Jan 2026.To further address this issue we are working on the following projects:
Work being Prioritized by Hoopla in 2026
Hoopla is working on a feature that would allow the library to select and ingest smaller portions of the Hoopla catalog.Vega Discover Plans
Patron Centric Featuring that allows patrons to Set default filters for Vega (I don't want econtent, I ONLY want econtent, etc) -
