Hi Margaret,

I can say with 100% certainty that Vega does not use the Syndetics APIs to populate the summary data displayed on a work full resource card. There is no such call being made by the software code.

What you are seeing is metadata from the electronic records provided by OverDrive. We have a priority enhancement which I expect to be able to do this year that will update how we choose the primary instance used for work data display. Right now there is essentially no logic being used when we choose which edition/format of a title populates data like series and 520 summaries. It is chosen based on which edition forms a rollup first during ingest from the ILS. The work we want to do will use the same logic we use for bookcover selection to choose the primary work, so it will end up being data from the newest edition of a book in a complex rollup like this rather than a random record that happened to be an ebook with a dubious summary.

Here is some of the work metadata including the 'summary' as provided by OverDrive that is being displayed in this work:

"label": "<b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER &bull; <i>GMA</i> BOOK CLUB PICK <b>&bull;</b> Meet Elizabeth Zott: &ldquo;a gifted research chemist, absurdly self-assured and immune to social convention&rdquo; (<i>The Washington Post</i>) in 1960s California&#160;whose career takes a detour when she becomes the unlikely star of a&#160;beloved TV cooking show. <b>&bull; <b>STREAM ON APPLE TV+</b><br></b><br></b><br> <b>This novel is &ldquo;irresistible, satisfying and full of fuel&rdquo; (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>) and &ldquo;witty, sometimes hilarious...the <i>Catch-22 </i>of early feminism&rdquo; (Stephen King, via Twitter).</b><br><b><br>A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: <i>The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek</i></b><br><b><i> </i></b>Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an <i>average</i> woman. But it&rsquo;s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel&ndash;prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with&mdash;of all things&mdash;her mind. True chemistry results.&#160;<br>But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America&rsquo;s most beloved cooking show <i>Supper at Six</i>. Elizabeth&rsquo;s unusual approach to cooking (&ldquo;combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride&rdquo;) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn&rsquo;t just teaching women to cook. She&rsquo;s daring them to change the status quo.&#160;&#160;<br>Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, <i>Lessons in Chemistry</i> is as original and vibrant as its protagonist."
