Print Saved Lists
In Vega, we can email saved lists/bookmarks to our emails, but that generates a link and if you try to print the list, it only prints what you are looking at, not the whole list.
It would be very helpful to be able to print the whole saved list.

Support indexing subfield $t in the 7XX (added entry) and 6xx

Search via shortcut codes
I have had a couple of libraries ask me about this:
will we be able to use the abbreviations from advanced search like in Encore in Vega? i.e. c:117 limits to my library, f:a. I use that all the time to help patrons and find resources quicker both in Sierra and Encore.
For further clarity:
Some libraries like to use the shortcut codes—once you know them, it’s faster and easier than using the facets to narrow down your search.
In her example, she’s using the Encore advanced search, limiting the format to books and to her collection. When you do…

Econtent in Kiosk mode
Currently, we are able to see a few of our e-items when searching in Kiosk mode. I would suggest full e-materials (Hoopla, Libby, etc) integration in Kiosk mode. If that is not possible, is there a way to exclude all e-items in Kiosk mode as we don't want our patrons to think that the e-items showing up are the only e-items we have?

Permanent Links
Permanent link to Vega records. When records are changed, the Vega ID changes and thus the link changes resulting in broken links. Please create permanent links for Vega records that aren't affected by changes to the item or bib records in Polaris.

Allow titles to be on more than one showcase
Currently, I can't post a title on more than one showcase. Example - Killers of the Flower Moon - which is on a list of staff picks we supply to a local weekly newspaper and one I made of Carnegie Medal winners.

Integration with LibCal's "Tickets & Passes" module and/or Museum/Lending Key
This would allow the patron to do a search for something like "cake pans", for example, and have the results come up in the catalog if it was listed in the library of things collection in either LibCal's Tickets & Passes module or Lending Key. Similarly, a search for "botanical gardens" could bring up a record for the museum pass that was in the collection in the LibCal's Tickets & Passes module or Museum Key. Then the patron could reserve the pass or item directly from the catalog.

Open custom header links in the same tab if they are pointing to search results within Vega Discover.
We have configured a few of our custom header links to point to popular searches (ie. New Items, On Order, etc.). We are getting a lot of feedback from patrons that are frustrated by the number of new tabs that are created since these links always open in a new tab. I understand that these were likely designed this way because they were intended to link out to other pages. It would be great if there was a setting to apply to links that are internal to allow them to open in the same tab, streamlining the user experience.

Suggest a purchase directly to your home library
I know this is listed on the roadmap, but it would be great if this could be tailored for consortia so that each suggestion goes directly to the patron's home library email rather than to a generic email for all libraries. Can that be factored into the current idea?

Syndetics Summaries
It would be great if the Syndetics summaries were accessible in Vega. In Encore we had Content Café, and clicking on the book cover returned a page like the one below. Patrons (and staff) really miss summaries on future release books we don’t have summary information for.

Display More Note (5XX) Fields
Note fields include useful information that is meant to be displayed to users. This information helps users decide if the resource described is relevant to their needs.
A subtitle that appears only on the cover of a book might only appear in a 500 note. A note might specify that a resource is a reprint of an earlier publication or give the original title of a translation, just to name a few examples.
Most notes are repeatable, so all instances of these MARC fields should display when there are multiple. Currently, only the first 505 (Contents note) displays.

Add 028 to Indexed Identifiers
This field is used for publisher’s/distributor’s numbers for video recordings, sound recordings (including audiobooks), and printed music. These numbers are important access points for these materials.
All 028 fields should be indexed, regardless of indicators.

Incorporate See / See Also authority record data in search results.
For example: If a patron searches for the author Noelle Stevenson, results for their established heading of ND Stevenson should come up.
or if Diwali is searched for, the established heading of Divali should be included in results.35 votes -
Include all contributors in expanded detail display
Include additional contributors in the expanded details display for the individual manifestations (MARC 700), this is especially important when multiple versions are rolled up together.
Currently, all added contributors for all versions are displayed at the bottom of the page of the roll-up and it is hard to find and identify specific translations or audio-book narrators. This also results in a work with multiple authors only having the first one recognized45 votes
