No Results - Customize Messaging/Offer Alternatives
When a patron gets no results and gets either the "did you mean?" or the search tips pages, would like a way to include some customized links to other options/services we offer, for example, our Interlibrary Loan and our Book Match services. Many patrons have no idea that if we don't own a title, we can get it for them via ILL. Or if they are just searching on a topic and not getting anything, perhaps our Book Match service may do the trick. Or just to tell users to speak with a reference librarian.

Show public notes and urls from item records in Vega.
Show public notes and urls from item records in Vega. We have many items with information in public notes and urls in our Sierra system and they do not show in Vega. We would like them to show up for the patrons to see.

Customize the patron search results experience even further
Grid View is soon to be launched. However, we have patrons who would prefer to have a 'text-like' view of search results, making it easy to browse quickly through what now represent pages and pages of results. Make it a customizable feature for patrons to be able to opt to view a textual results list. (perhaps this will also be easier for those requiring screen readers)

Ability to search by Item Call#
Searching by call# has always been available to staff and patrons and though we've only been live a short few days, staff have already experienced the need to search by call# (a patron brought a call# to staff and staff had to go into Sierra to find the title they were referencing). Our call#s are stored in the item records and we would like to be able to search by call#.

Option to display a call# per title in the roll up where there is one available
We have our call#s in the item records and each Branch library uses the same call#. Patrons and staff are struggling to find the call#s and want them displayed in the results list for every title where available. It is time consuming to do the extra clicks to view a call number!

My Bookshelf Personal Lists option to view in text format v.s. Images
In the My Bookshelf Area, which includes Checkouts, Holds, Bookmarks, Saved Lists, Reading History and Showcases, it can be cumbersome for those patrons with large lists to view them. Patrons (and staff) are missing the ability to view multiple titles without having to scroll and would like the option to view these lists in a text format instead of what is currently available.

Ability to remove a title from My Reading History
Patrons would like to be able to remove a title from their reading history. (one by one ideally, though in a batch using check marks would work). Sometimes patrons borrow something and never get the time to read it and/or change their minds and never read it...

Add a Sort by Date Hold Placed to the My Bookshelf display of Holds
Patrons are accustomed to viewing their holds in order of the date the hold was placed. Ideally, they would want this as the default, but we thought it might be better to give patrons an option of how these display by adding the date the hold was placed to the Sort feature in Holds in MyBookshelf.

Add a 'Day' option for New Materials
Currently, we can refine our search for New Materials to: week, month, quarter, year. We are accustomed to seeing new materials catalogued within a day. Please add 'Day' to the Select Period options in the New Materials limiter.

Show Sierra patron messages in Vega
We would like the Sierra pop-up messages to show in the patron account in Vega. We use these messages to communicate with customers. As much of our services are now self-service, we need a way to communicate with them as they don't come to the desk.

Scheduling Vega Homepage Layouts
Vega Homepage Layouts are an excellent way to communicate with our patrons based on spotlighting showcases, new collections, as well as upcoming programs.
Although this takes a lot of manual intervention whenever a change needs to be made. We'd love the ability to schedule Vega Homepage layouts for future months. Example: Saving Monthly Vega Showcases based on our libraries future focused campaigns (Summer reading, poetry month, heritage months, etc.).

Looking for more customizable features, branding.
Please make the main page more customizable for libraries. I would love to see the ability to add showcases to the main landing page. Would also like to be able to customize the favicon to our library logo.

Increase Access Controls for Vega Discovery
Please add the ability for libraries to add their own permission groups with specific level of controls set by administrators, or build more granular permission groups. Currently, administration level access is required to do many of the features explained to us for showcase approves and Vega Homepage displays.
We do not want to give all of our librarians "admin" level and "staff" is not high enough to make our day to day work possible.

Add the ability to refine results by audience in Vega
Currently in Vega, patrons cannot search by genre (655 tag). The ability to search or refine by genre would be really helpful, since patrons could then more easily search for genres such as "Picture books" or "Science fiction."

Improve Vega Showcase Functionality for Staff (Enhance Advanced Search or Allow BibRecSet Imports)
The removal of bibliographic record set imports from Polaris’ Content Carousel has made it difficult for our staff to maintain their existing catalog lists within Vega’s Showcases. Please allow libraries the ability to use advance search capabilities within Vega Discovery to help build better Showcases (Saved Searches lists). Two methods that would work best for our library:
1) Expand on Advanced Search through Vega (Currently on the roadmap, but we are unaware of what will come from this feature).
2) Allow importing of Bibliographic Record Sets as Saved Searches or Showcases (This is what would make our librarians’ lives the…31 votes
