Include artist name in Hoopla e-music records
Can the Hoopla API be updated to display the artist name? Currently only the title and publisher information are appearing in the search results and on the record page.

autorenewals and C:239
autorenewals and c:239
Please allow items to be automatically renewable in the system without effort if the item isn't on hold.
Also please reinstate the searching code to limit to North Chicago Public Library easily. In Encore we could put " DVD and C:239" to limit to our DVDs in one step.

Advanced Search
Currently the advanced search option is pretty unhelpful for patrons. All it really does is define what a Boolean search is and not particularly in a way that makes sense to someone who doesn't already have knowledge of what a Boolean search is. Advanced search needs to bring people to a place where they are given more guidance with multiple search boxes to help guide them more. It needs to make sense to patrons who have no clue how Boolean operators work or even what they are, not for librarians who were taught about this in school.

Default focus format tab in search should always be book unless format has been used as a filter.
When a user searches Vega Discover and has not applied a format filter we should not automatically select the first available format when frequently used formats such as book are unavailable (all copies circulating) because this can cause confusion resulting in an undesired request on the wrong format of a title.
A format tab other than the first default format should only be selected when a user has applied a format filter.

Showcases updating
When updating showcases, you shouldn't need to update the kiosk site separately from the regular site, it should automatically happen.

Maintain Custom URL During Password Resets etc.
We use a custom URL search.bccls.org that patrons are accustomed to. When they go to do a password reset or other account related things they are redirected to the na4 URL which causes concern. We would like to submit an idea that custom URLs remain consistent throughout the Vega Discover experience.

Ability to create high-content accounts for staff use
We use a staff account to create curated lists we can send to patrons as part of a personalized reader's advisory program. We've noticed that the high number of lists (>350) is creating marked slow-down and functionality issues in Vega Discover when logged into this account. We were told the number of lists is likely causing the issue. Consider creating the ability for staff to have high-content accounts for situations like this.

Item record synchronization with Discover
Currently when the OPACMSG is changed from [NEW] to [--] in the item record it does not change the view in Discover. For Discover to reflect this change, you must suppress and then unsuppress the bib and then run a record extraction. Our patrons/staff use this message to know whether they are to look on the NEW display or in the stacks.
This same request was placed back in November 2023 by Alison P.:

Limit Collections in main site as well as collection sites
It would be great if there was a way to limit "Collections" on the main Discover search the same way you can limit on individual collection sites. In our particular use case, we have a single member library that has items in a collection that should only be visible on their collection site. Excluding that collection from all other collection sites is easy, but there isn't a way to do it on our main site. Thanks for your consideration!

Patron account view - allow fullscreen display
Patrons using laptops with smaller display resolutions are finding the limited height of the account display frustrating, as they can only see one item at a time and scrolling via touchpad can be difficult. Many have asked if an option to extend the display to cover the full height of the screen could be made available.

Ingest Name Authority Records into Vega Discover
I think that ingesting name authority records into Vega Discover would improve capturing name tracings in the 400 field, so that for example if Samuel Langhorne Clemens is searched, Mark Twain's works will also appear etc.

author page hyperlink improvements
I think the patron's would be better served if the hyperlink of an author's name went directly to the other items they have written and to NOT go to an author page. I feel like more patrons want to simply see other works by the author and not read a wannabe Wikipedia page.

Only show children's content when in children's catalog/viewing children's material
When in the children's catalog, the Vega & Syndetics sections (Related Resources, Topics, etc) in the records should ideally only display children's titles. As an example, right now, when I pull up the Diary of a Wimpy Kid DVD, I'm seeing the Where'd You Go Bernadette DVD under Related Resources and A Man Called Otto DVD in Topics. We don't want to direct children toward adult titles.
It would actually be great to also be able to hide any adult items from Related Resources, Topics, etc. anytime a record for children's material is being viewed, whether in the main Vega…

Add 'fully supported' collection site dropdown list option
We would like there to be a 'fully supported' option to add a collection site dropdown list, not simply documentation to do it ourselves with the caveat that Innovative can't be responsible for whether or not it works. I've included a screenshot that shows how it actually doesn't work well on mobile, and we aren't able to do much about that. However, if there were a fully supported dropdown option, I think it's safe to assume it would be optimized for mobile use as well. This is what we would want.
This is not 'already supported' as was stated in…

Integrate The Palace Project into Vega
We recently joined The Palace Project and would love to have the items in those collections searchable and findable in our catalog in the same way that our Overdrive books are currently integrated, rolling up with other editions and requestable directly in the catalog. Ideally this would extend to LEAP as well so we could see the records alongside all the rest.
It's especially helpful for the more popular titles that the state library also has copies of or for niche titles only they have purchased. This would include both Palace Bookshelf items and Palace Marketplace items.

Integrate Comics Plus API into Vega
We have a few libraries using Comics Plus, and they have requested that we integrate these materials into Vega. I understand that they do have an API.

Scheduling Announcement Posts
Please allow us to enter dates to schedule an announcement post to go up on a certain date and also allow us to enter an unpublishing date to have it drop off. This is a must when a library needs to use time-sensitive announcements, including planned facility issues or any number of these.

Include wildcard search option or browse option for call number searching
Currently call number searching only works if you search a call number exactly and in its entirety. Ideally, one should be able to do a browse search or use a wild card in a call number search
