  1. The availability filter is more helpful now that it can filter out titles which have no physical items available. Checking "at library" does indeed find only titles that have an item available on the shelf. Thank you! But if you check "online" for availability, it just shows everything from Overdrive - it doesn't actually filter out the unavailable Overdrive titles.

    This cannot be done for OverDrive and other econtent.  Vega has to ping the econtent vendor API for each individual title separately in order to get 'availability' status.  It's impossible to do this for all search results rather than just the displayed page of results and return correct availability on the fly for a facet. 

  2. World Language displays with diacritics, especially Spanish, French, German. The diacritics may appear ok in Polaris Client bib record, but it is intermittent whether they appear correctly in Vega.
    i.e. Author: Laurie Friedman titles in French -
    1. title appears ok as "Milly l'espiègle et le bébé en pleurs" but summary is not ok.
    2 another title appears incorrectly as "Milly l'espi?gle et les cl?s disparues"

    Both titles are ok in Polaris.

    Closing since the follow-up is that diacritics seem ok. 

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. We have several libraries that have different summer hours than their regular hours throughout the year and some that have different hours for a specific section of their library like a children's room, for example. It would be great to have the ability to distinguish between these when posting hours, and not just to have one set of hours that can be posted for a library.

  7. The current functionality of Vega Discovery allows patrons to filter their search results by selecting one or more facets from the left-hand panel. However, there is no option to exclude results. For example, a patron who is looking for books on history may want to exclude ebooks or audiobooks from the results.

    This enhancement request proposes to add an option to exclude content via facet selection and or other means. This would allow patrons to refine their search results more effectively and find the most relevant resources for their needs.

    Adding an option to exclude content via facet selection would…

  11. Consortias often use Item Date to identify 'New Materials' by member library rather than 'Cat Date' or 'First Available Date' at the Bib Level for new titles. Consortias need an option to use an item level date so that 'new materials' can be correctly identified at the member library level.

  15. Some patrons have difficulty understanding where to find their account details after logging in. For some, it is not intuitive to click on their names, or the numbers associated with the holds/checkouts/fines. Please add a few more prompts or cues to make it easier for patrons to access their accounts.

  16. For Collection Sites it would be useful to be able to set a default location to display the hours information from like you do at the consortia level.

    Currently it uses the consortia default when a patron is not logged in.
