OverDrive Authentication via SIP
Currently, you can only authenticate a patron by Patron ID or Barcode . Sometimes the libraries in the consortia don't tell us their barcode prefixes have changed and patrons were being blocked for no reason. So we are utilizing the SIP connection with OverDrive and Kanopy to block against patron type in Polaris, no longer utilizing the barcode prefixes so patrons have easier access. Now that fix might not work in Vega to authenticate OverDrive because we don't use the barcode.

Add the option to suppress formats from appearing in the list
We would like to be able to suppress certain formats from appearing in the format list so it isn't so cluttered for patrons. We are aware that would eliminate certain results, but we would prefer it to appear cleaner rather than with so many options that patrons might not even understand.

Navigation between consortia member instances of Discover
In a consortia, especially one with many member libraries that share patrons, it is important for users to be able to move from the main/parent domain instance of Discover to one of the individual library sites and also to be able to navigate between member library sites. This is functionality currently available in the Polaris PAC and heavily used.

Include 'other title info' with original title in brief search display for translated works
It would be very helpful for staff when assisting patrons searching for materials in other languages if the 240 field with the original title in English was also displayed in the brief search results so the staffer could easily and quickly identify the title in English that the patron is searching for in the other language.

Advanced Search - ability to send customers to other sites (e.g., our website)
It would be useful if the advanced search could include a link to other sites, like our website, or our eCollections sites or our research and heritage resources.

A way of prompting or reminding patrons that they need to change their passcode
If someone joins online we set a default passcode and when sending out the details to the patron by email we encourage them to make sure they change the default passcode to something more personal as soon as possible. However, it would be good to have an actual prompt in Vega Bookshelf when they first logon to remind them to change their passcode or better still force them to change their passcode.

Language Options
On the Vega Discover home page, only the link to English(US) is visible. The link to Español is visible only after user clicks English (but why click “English” if the page is already in English?) Suggest to display the dropdown menu items, show an arrow next the English (US), or a link to Español (US) instead of showing English (US).

Group hold
Group different editions together in order so once a format/edition satisfies the hold, the other holds will
automatically be cancelled. This can be useful for a user who doesn't care about the format and just wants any edition of the resource whenever it is available9 votesClosing items submitted over 2 years ago with no recent activity.

Auto-scroll for carousels on home page
Provide the option to turn on some form of autoplay/autoscroll for carousels on the Vega homepage.
This would be helpful to enable at least for the hero carousels to allow for more exposure to slides after the first.

Search via shortcut codes
I have had a couple of libraries ask me about this:
will we be able to use the abbreviations from advanced search like in Encore in Vega? i.e. c:117 limits to my library, f:a. I use that all the time to help patrons and find resources quicker both in Sierra and Encore.
For further clarity:
Some libraries like to use the shortcut codes—once you know them, it’s faster and easier than using the facets to narrow down your search.
In her example, she’s using the Encore advanced search, limiting the format to books and to her collection. When you do…

Econtent in Kiosk mode
Currently, we are able to see a few of our e-items when searching in Kiosk mode. I would suggest full e-materials (Hoopla, Libby, etc) integration in Kiosk mode. If that is not possible, is there a way to exclude all e-items in Kiosk mode as we don't want our patrons to think that the e-items showing up are the only e-items we have?

Don't ignore paren in uniform titles
Our live action and animated Disney films are rolling up together because Vega ignores parentheses in uniform titles.
Each have separate and distinct 130 tags (uniform title) but because the authorized uniform title headings are Aladdin (Motion picture : 1992) for the animated and Aladdin (Motion picture : 2019) for the live action and because Vega ignores text in parentheses in titles, it's treating both as just "Aladdin" and rolling up both as a single record.

Permanent Links
Permanent link to Vega records. When records are changed, the Vega ID changes and thus the link changes resulting in broken links. Please create permanent links for Vega records that aren't affected by changes to the item or bib records in Polaris.
