(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.

Customise spacing between facets
We would like to be able to reduce the spacing between facets which was fixed in the "Refine Results Display Fix" so that more results could display on a page, as the space from a look and feel perspective is too big.

View entire My Bookshelf at once so can see all holds and checkouts
We have had a few customers report that when they open their My Bookshelf on a laptop they can't see their entire bookshelf. When they open in a new tab or new window it doesn’t display optimally either. You can control and – to make the screen smaller, but then you can't actually read what's on your bookshelf. They know you can use the toggles but you can't see all your holds or checkouts at once.

Display series volume
Include volume of series in record display (490 $v). Currently, only the series and the semicolon prior to $v displays in Vega Discover. Including the series number would make it easier for patrons to find the volume they are looking for.

Currently, you have to select "Apply" for limiting your search with facets. Most websites these days automatically apply filters/facets, making auto-apply something our patrons are used to using.

Item Status Mapping
We are running into an issue where our Item Status Mapping descriptions set in Polaris are not lining up with Vega. Vega looks like it is displaying the Item Status Name in the description column. It would be super nice to be able to change Mapping description in Vega like you can do in Polaris. Just a slight issue we have experienced and we are trying to figure out a work around for it. Thanks!

relevancy towards newer titles
Patrons are not finding the latest popular titles. patrons want to searc forJohn Grisham and immediately see the most "currently" relevant title- the one everyone is looking for, the one people are talking about and want to get their name on. Maybe it isnt even published. In Encore this is the first title you see, in Vega you wont find it for a bit.
Relevancy must consider date of publication over the number of copies.

Where are we??? - we own stuff VEGA!!!
In a large consortia the locations with smaller collections are not showing up. Only 40 sites show. This means the large libraries with more content are always displayed, and the big sites always get top billing. Our little librarys deserve the same exposure (maybe more). In the location facet all libraries should be listed if the result set includes content from their collections. Locations should be listed alphabetically and not by the number of items in the set.

Move Personal Name Subject Headings to Concepts/Topics
600 Subject added entry - personal name headings are currently displaying as Contributors/Persons. This is making it difficult to find additional resources ABOUT a person. When the person appears in the Subject field, they are not really a contributor, they are the Subject. Displaying these headings as Contributors is confusing. I believe this is on the roadmap but it would be nice to see this addressed sooner than later.

Allow us to sync collections (Sync Now feature)
We currently utilize ILS code synchronization for Material type, status, (Sierra only) message code synchronization, and Location synchronization. We kindly request the addition of a 'Sync Now' feature for Collections.
Currently, any newly added collections or changes to existing collections require an overnight job for processing. Until this process is completed, new collections will only display the collectionID instead of the intended naming scheme.

Ability to add some color scheme around search box on home page
Patron keeps commenting that they can't find the search box on the homepage. If the library can add two color scheme around the box to highlight the box, it will help the search box to stand out. If a lot of color schemes can be provided, library can change the color scheme based on season, special theme, special program, etc.

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.

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!
