Display all 520 fields in record, not just the first one
We have many titles that are collections of multiple titles, such as Binge Boxes, that are cataloged with multiple 520 (summary) fields to cover all the titles contained in the set. However, only the first MARC 520 summary field displays in Vega, which is difficult for customers who are trying to find all titles contained in the collection. The table of contents is buried in "edition information--details", which is very small and not obvious to the average customer, so they often don't know what titles the collection contains. This is also true for some short story collections and CD compilations. We would like ALL 520 fields to display on the main page for the record and not just the first one, as information valuable to customers is getting lost. It would also be nice if the table of contents 505 note could be displayed on the main page and not buried under the "edition information".

Or at the very least, prioritize our bib record summary versus our ingested eCollection records like OverDrive.

Agreed this is needed, customers depend on this information for music compilations, ect.

So much basic customer service is lost if this isn't remedied. We rely on accurate search results to serve customers and we also lose the discovery element of the customer experience when not all areas of the record are crawled/displayed.

This is also important for bilingual materials, to display the item description in both languages. Having the option to toggle this feature on and off could be very helpful for libraries.

Yes, please! The display of information is from the MARC record is likely different for every library. It would be great if Vega staff offered a BibFrame view of the MARC data and allowed the library staff/vega admin to determine which data should be displayed and at what level it should be displayed.

Maybe have a setting to let libraries turn on the tags they want to display and with an option to show all same tags or just the first one for those wishing to limit the display amount.

Our customers need to be able to see what bands and songs are on music compilations, which authors are part of short story collections, what movies are included in our binge boxes from MWT. Thanks!
