Display information for everything by one author
When someone clicks on the author name for an item, they should be brought to a search result that shows all items by that author available in their library system. Currently, we're brought to a page that looks like what I've attached and it's quite annoying to try and view everything and look for availability. If a patron is looking for information about an author, they're not likely to go looking in the library catalog. They should be able to click the author's name and see everything the author has written that's available in their library system as though they conducted a search using the author's name.

I thought Vega was meant to do this already

Would it be possible to redesign the Resources section of the person page to use the grid view layout - so that users can see the formats held and availability? Instead of the supplied screenshot it would look more like the attached view.

I have called this particular "feature" a wannabe Wikipedia page. People just want to see what Colleen Hoover is available in the library. It adds more steps to the patron or staff to find what they are looking for, doesn't make for happy patrons.
