Enhance patron reading history by including edition level metadata for serials
Patron reading history is currently of limited value for serials, like magazines and newspapers, because only the title and date checked out is recorded. Without edition level information e.g., volume, or issue number, patrons cannot reliably identify:
• Which specific magazine issue they have read
• How their reading history relates to citations, or research
This reduces the usefulness of reading history for researchers, students, and magazine readers alike.

Strongly agree. Why can't Vega include a bit more information about the item checked out or in Reading History, like the request to show the item barcode. Any magazines, multi-volumes need to reflect which ones you checked out. Otherwise it's pretty useless.
