Export Bookmark Lists to Email
When trying to export a bookmarked list to your email, it doesn't actually export anything to your email. Instead, you're sent a link that just takes you back to your bookmark list in Vega.
It would be helpful to have Vega actually export a text-based list to your email. Example in the picture is of the email you receive with the link back to Vega.

Request to Increase Character Limit in Announcements
The current 250-character limit in Vega Discover's announcement feature significantly restricts our ability to convey essential, detailed information in a single message. This limitation is particularly challenging when addressing complex situations that impact multiple services. Our public relations team is compelled to create multiple, shortened versions of the same announcement to fit this constraint, leading to an inefficient communication process that does not align with the capabilities of modern CMS platforms.
Increasing the character limit to at least 500 characters is a necessary enhancement. It will enable us to deliver comprehensive and clear messages without the need for creating multiple…

Automatically re-execute search in Location Drawer
In the Location Drawer, there is a search box that offers the user a place to narrow the results based on call number, edition date, etc. When the user changes the location, the results update to the desired location and the search term(s) is retained in the search box, but the results don't reflect the inclusion of the search term. The user must click in the search box and manually re-execute the search. This is not intuitive at all. Retaining the search term while updating the results to a different chosen location implies that the results include the effect of…

Default to displaying list content by newest first
When a patron goes into a list of bookmarks, the default sort order is oldest first. I would prefer it if the resources I just added appear at the top of the list without having to scroll or re-sort.

856 and Overdrive records
When an 856 is in an Overdrive record, it converts to a resource entity in Polaris during the integration process. However, a library can certainly add their own 856 to the bib record after the fact (that will say something along the lines of “Click here to check out this title on the Overdrive site!”).
A library added their own 856 tags, which caused an issue within Vega. When they are removed, the "GET IT" button shows; however, when they are in the MARC record, not only does the "Check Availability" button show instead of "GET ITEM", but the 856…

Expand Synching of ILS Codes
While "Material type, status, and (Sierra only) message code synchronization" is offered, it doesn't appear that we are able to sync other fixed fields that are changed in an item record. For example, updating the OPACMSG field in the item record is not reflected in Vega, even after running the sync. Changing the OPACMSG in an ITEM record does not get activated by the sync function in Vega admin…you must update the bib as well and then run the extraction (or wait overnight). Aside from making the documentation more clear, ideally syncing is expanded to reflect changes to items w/out…

Integrate Proquest databases into Vega Discover (Searchable)
Please enable ProQuest database customers to seamlessly search their databases within Vega Discover without the need for creating placeholder bib record redirect links. The ultimate objective is to allow patrons to conduct searches for items such as historical newspaper titles and receive relevant search results from our catalog, along with direct links to ProQuest Historical Newspapers databases associated with their search queries.
Third-party databases would also be fantastic but I'm sticking to Clarivate owned products for now.

baker and taylor integration/Boundless
I would really love to see the Baker and Taylor "Boundless" interface refined. Talking to reps from B and T, it appears that the API is currently able to pass credentials, however in Vega you have to log into the B and T site to retrieve items. It would be more seamless and less confusing for patrons to at least authenticate them on the site when checking "get item" from Vega. Eventually, a tight integration like what we have with Overdrive would be awesome.

Report incorrect images link in Vega
It would be nice to have a link in Vega Discover to report incorrect images and have a status note once its been reported so multiple reports are not being submitted for same image. Contact information seems to change often and can get a bit frustrating to get resolved.

New format tab for bilingual material
It would be nice to have an additional format of bilingual material. 041 would have multiple |a.
Currently it is rolled up with the regular print and is only notable if there is an edition statement, which I don't believe is typical.23 votes -
If search returns no results, suggest Link+
If a patron searches Vega and gets zero results, can the results page say something like, "Can't find what you're looking for? Try Link+"
See an example from another library's catalog that does this.

OPAC Message changes in real-time streaming updates
Currently, changes to the OPAC Message field in the item record do not display in Vega unless the BIB record has also been changed. If the BIB has been changed, the OPAC Message change will be picked up during overnight extraction; however, if the BIB isn't edited, the change is never picked up.
Currently, we use the OPAC Message field to display important shelf information. Changes to this field are made at each location by staff that do not have permissions to edit BIBs. The only way to ensure that these changes display in Vega is for staff to let…

Create consistency between images
Currently, Syndetics Unbound shows a colored box with the title if the MARC has no ISBN/UPC (020 or 024). When ISBN/UPC is present but Syndetics Unbound does not have an image, a grayed-out book icon displays. It would be aesthetically pleasing if the images for these two scenarios were consistent.

Back navigation on showcase carousels
After selecting a showcase image on a carousel to read more and then selecting the back button when you are reading it would be nice to go back to the carousel rather than the home page.

Automated Best Sellers Club/Favorites Holds
Allow patrons to automate holds for new releases from their favorite authors. Patrons should be able to select their favorite authors to be automatically placed on hold for new releases or acquisitions from that author. Vega discover could also provide statistics on which authors have the most holds, allowing libraries the ability to improve purchasing for popular authors. This would provide an improved solution to a popular program offered by many libraries.

Bookmarks Labels
I think the For later and Bookmarks labelling can be clarified. It would be clearer if the Bookmarks label is changed to 'Items saved for later' or simply 'For later' so there is a direct co-relation, making it a tad bit easier for new users to understand where 'For later' items go.

Allow Vega eCommerce to enter minimum amounts that aren't "even"
In Vega eCommerce setup, you have to enter a whole dollar amount as a minimum amount that can be paid online. We require a minimum of $1.01, which is confusing to patrons if we configure this at $1 See screen shot.

Show library logo in mobile view
The library logo appears when on a library's collection site on a desktop computer, but on the phone it disappears. It would be nice if the logo could still display on mobile view.

Customized Vega Help Section
I should preface this with the understanding that we can build our own help page and direct traffic there. However, the built-in Vega Help section contains fantastic material and is most likely updated with any new deployments of Vega Discovery. We'd love to have the ability to leverage those pieces while still maintaining our own branding, customized text, customized imagery, embedding Vega Guide, and adding alternative sources such as Niche Academy video tutorials.
