On Order Searching an sorting
'On Order Availability Facet - Allow users to limit searches to materials that are On Order' is on the roadmap for "later". We would love to see this added, including the ability to sort results by order date. We have developed a workaround by creating Material Types for On Order to allow these items to be searched and placed on hold; however, none of the existing sort options allow users to easily navigate these results. Users would like to be able to see newly ordered items appear first in the list so that they can check back regularly to see…

Add the option to suppress formats from appearing in the list
We would like to be able to suppress certain formats from appearing in the format list so it isn't so cluttered for patrons. We are aware that would eliminate certain results, but we would prefer it to appear cleaner rather than with so many options that patrons might not even understand.

All metadata and content displayed for a work should use the same instance ISBN
Vega uses the newest edition of a book to retrieve the cover image from Syndetics. However the rest of the display data is not necessarily related to this newest book edition/instance record. For consistency, the Syndetics widget data and the displayed work metadata (author, title, 520 summary) should all be based on that same instance record.

Navigation between consortia member instances of Discover
In a consortia, especially one with many member libraries that share patrons, it is important for users to be able to move from the main/parent domain instance of Discover to one of the individual library sites and also to be able to navigate between member library sites. This is functionality currently available in the Polaris PAC and heavily used.

Include 'other title info' with original title in brief search display for translated works
It would be very helpful for staff when assisting patrons searching for materials in other languages if the 240 field with the original title in English was also displayed in the brief search results so the staffer could easily and quickly identify the title in English that the patron is searching for in the other language.

The order of the operators should not matter in an advanced search you should get the same search results for whatever order you enter the same search terms.

Advanced Search - ability to send customers to other sites (e.g., our website)
It would be useful if the advanced search could include a link to other sites, like our website, or our eCollections sites or our research and heritage resources.

Advanced Search - enable drop down filters for boolean operators at new search page default
An advanced search feature should make Boolean search options visible with drop-down menus to assist in constructing custom queries. The Boolean elements should be simply a series of drop-down search filters. Most advanced search engines use this functionality and, this is easy for a customer to use.

Be able to see if there are holds on titles, we have checked out on My Bookshelf
A customer has provided feedback that by being able to see what checked out titles on their bookshelf had holds placed against them would help them prioritise their reading, e.g., if they knew a title was going to renew or not, or had holds on it, they would read that title first.

Allow libraries and collection sites to control what patron registration data shows in the patron profile
For example, patrons see a home branch, a registered branch, and a preferred pickup location. With our Polaris ILS, patrons don't actually have a home branch, so it looks like this just gets populated with their registered branch. Some patrons and staff have expressed confusion over this - it would be nice to be able to choose what fields from the patron registration display to the patron on their profile. Since we're a consortium, it would be especially nice if this could be controlled at the collection site level, rather than the higher level.

Make customizing Showcases easier
Vega should have controls when generating showcase code that allows the librarian to change the look and feel of the showcase and have the generated code include these customizations.
This idea was born when our web team asked if it was possible to remove the author name from a Showcase when embedding it into our website. Other libraries might want to remove title and author and just show jacket covers. Any ability to customize the look of the Showcase that is embedded would be awesome.

A way of prompting or reminding patrons that they need to change their passcode
If someone joins online we set a default passcode and when sending out the details to the patron by email we encourage them to make sure they change the default passcode to something more personal as soon as possible. However, it would be good to have an actual prompt in Vega Bookshelf when they first logon to remind them to change their passcode or better still force them to change their passcode.

Renewals remaining
We use Polaris and our old catalog showed the number of renewals remaining/available for patrons. We've heard from patrons and staff that this would be appreciated versus the current view (number of renewals taken). Thanks for considering!

Suppress ability to cancel holds from My Bookshelf
We'd like the ability to suppress the cancel hold button from My Bookshelf. It's not possible for our patrons who place holds for interloans to cancel their holds for interloans from My Bookshelf. When they try to do so they retrieve a message in red text advising "!Requested resource was not found'. This is very confusing to our patrons. Suppressing the ability to do this would be very helpful, and would reduce patron confusion.

Language Options
On the Vega Discover home page, only the link to English(US) is visible. The link to Español is visible only after user clicks English (but why click “English” if the page is already in English?) Suggest to display the dropdown menu items, show an arrow next the English (US), or a link to Español (US) instead of showing English (US).

Allow us to turn off/hide Export Citation link.
We would like to be able remove "Export Citation" from the Options menu that appears on resource cards since it requires use of another service and we think this will just lead to confusion for our patrons.

For Limited Value facets such has: format, location, collection, age group, language, donor; allow the full facet content to display in the refine panel when expanded and in all facet view by adding scroll.

In All Facet View, upon open, display Search <facet> help text as well as place cursor in search box.
In the Mobile responsive views that collapse the refinement panel by default, when in Advanced Search Mode,…

Group hold
Group different editions together in order so once a format/edition satisfies the hold, the other holds will
automatically be cancelled. This can be useful for a user who doesn't care about the format and just wants any edition of the resource whenever it is available9 votes
