Stop the inclusion or exclusion of apostrophes from directly effecting the search results
Most patrons probably don't add apostrophes when searching (some do, some don't). We suggest it be taken out as a variable effecting the search results in basic search. In advanced search it can be included exactly as typed, but for the basic search it may do more harm than good. Please see the attached examples.

Contributor info in edition "i" area to better tell the actual difference between editions
Add contributors, such as translator, illustrator or foreword author to the edition bib-frame info "i" window to better distinguish between different editions of a title. Most people are likely looking for contributors when choosing between editions.

Home Page: Add the Kids Help text to the translation file.
The little “sprite” helper icon is cute, but the text she brings up to help the patron find call numbers includes the sentence “Click the map to find it at the library." and there isn't a way to edit or remove this text.

Song title
We need to be able to search by song title when searching for music cds or for sheet music books.
It also its hard not be able to see the track listing for compilation albums (the Now cds for instance).
We have patrons complain about this weekly.29 votesReleased October 8th 2025

Separate the Edition specific and non-specific Place Hold button editing in the translation file
Currently, in the translation file there's one spot to edit ALL Place hold buttons. This prevents us from, say, editing the button that applied to ALL editions to say perhaps "Place hold on any edition" and, perhaps, editing the edition specific button to say "Place hold on this edition". We would like these separated out for editing.

Move Overdrive Magazine API higher on the development list
Magazines borrowed directly from Overdrive show the confusing resource for title result instead of the magazine issue itself. An extra step of Get Issue is required to show the issue. This appears to be covered under the Vega Product portal - Overdrive Magazines. However that is listed under the Later category. Monarch is asking if this could be expedited due to the confusion it is causing to staff and patrons.

My Bookshelf General Functionality
I still feel this is sort of a bug, but I'm going to try submitting an idea.
When logged in: You can click on any link in "My Bookshelf" to expand it, but you can only collapse it by clicking either the down arrow or the "My Bookshelf" tab. When on another tab such as "Bookmarks, Saved Searches, or Reading History", I feel that clicking on these tabs should also collapse the My Bookshelf back to the bottom.
When not logged in: Clicking any link in the "My Bookshelf" will expand it but clicking "My Bookshelf" no longer collapses it…

Resolve eContent not rolluping up due to articles
Most OverDrive titles beginning with an article (The, A, An) do not rollup properly due to Metadata not identifying a skip on these characters. As a main feature of Discover, it is frustrating that such a large amount of titles do not rollup with properly cataloged physical materials.
28 votesReleased with Dec 3rd code. Currently indexing to update all econtent for libraries. Expected to be fully reflected in customer catalogs by end of January at the latest.

Enable translations within Syndetics Unbound content
Within the Syndetics Unbound content, enable translations for data such as "other books in this series" or Subjects, etc.
7 votesWe have turned on Swedish for Syndetics Unbound. If your library has a language that Syndetics supports the default translations will appear when you change the language in discover. You can supplement and alter these in the syndetics admin. Reach out to support for help and access if needed!

Social Sharing of Lists
This is a combination of 2 ideas: Patrons would like to share lists they've created, and some patrons like to "Follow" others. We could create a new world of library "influencers" such as what is on social media, by having "Library Influencers" - those with over x number of followers. Patrons could select who they want to follow, and lists could be shared over social platforms.

StackMap - VEGA support
StackMap is an indoor mapping web application that helps patrons easily locate library resources including material, subjects wayfinding, rooms and public PCs in real-time. At this time, VEGA does not seem to support this application, but it does work in the default Polaris catalog.
17 votesVega Discover Premium and Consortia versions support an integration with StackMap, an indoor mapping web application that helps patrons easily locate library resources.
Vega Discover Premium and Consortia libraries can reach out to support@stackmap.com to request the required script to embed into their custom header code.
Please reach out to your Account Manager if you would like to know more about Discover Premium or Discover Consortia.

(Vega Homepage) Allow libraries more padding and spacing control between content
At present, we employ code adjustments in our customized header to reduce padding/spacing across Vega Discover's homepage. It would be highly beneficial if there were built-in options within Vega Homepage themes or experience settings to directly control and minimize this spacing. For reference, I've attached a screenshot showcasing our customized control with yellow highlights compared to the default spacing highlighted in magenta.

(Vega Homepage) Events component does not automatically arrange in chronological order
The events component on the homepage currently does not automatically arrange events in chronological order. Additionally, there is no option for manual reordering, and modifying the sequence necessitates deleting preceding events to position a new item ahead of another.
3 votesUpdates were made that allow events to be re-ordered manually.
Libraries with Vega Program integration can set Dynamic events rows that update automatically and are in chronological order.

(Vega Homepage) Allow us to customize themed home page backgrounds/colors
As Vega Discover Premium customers, we value a personalized approach. While we currently appreciate the Comic/Steampunk or modern designs, our goal for the future is to have the autonomy to customize this aspect ourselves.

Renew All Option
Allow patrons to "select all" to renew all eligible items from their checkout screen. Patrons with multiple items (sometimes 40 or more) have to select each individual item to renew. A "renew all" or "select all" feature would be helpful.
