  1. We were attempting to update the "searchResultPageCopies" string so that it made more sense when viewing OverDrive eBooks / Audiobooks; we added the word "available" so that it would read "0 copies available" on OverDrive titles that were all checked out with waitlists.

    However, we've discovered that for physical books, the word "available" might be misleading, because for physical materials this tally seems to be a count of total items owned, rather than copies available.

    For example, we have a title where Books show 27 copies available, but that's not accurate because some are checked out and held; it is…

  2. Currently if a copy isn't available at the pickup location of any edition in a multi-edition rollup in Vega Discover, the holds logic dictates that it will look next for any edition with a copy available at the patron's home library, then for the edition with the most available copies, then if no copies are available, for the edition with the best holds:copies ratio.

    The libraries with branches in our consortium would like the holds logic to look at availability of editions at their BRANCHES next if the pickup library has branches but doesn't own any editions themself. Also, they…

  3. 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.

  5. Many of our patrons prefer to control their Overdrive/Libby account through the catalog. There is currently no freeze option for Overdrive holds within Vega Discover. Not sure if this is because we don't import the Overdrive records into our ILS (Sierra) or not.

  6. In the current PAC if you do a series search for an author, you get results for titles in series by that author. The same doesn't happen in Vega Discover since 800 $a isn't indexed and only $t is indexed. We would like $a indexed as well.

  7. When viewing holds, can it be more clear to patrons when they’re unclaimed? It currently doesn't show that the pickup date has passed or call it Unclaimed, it just says that they're "0 - Waiting".

  8. We've had customers and staff point out that at times, shelf location information could be more visible in Vega results. In particular, we wondered if it would be possible to use bold type for the shelf location information on the search result page on the kiosk sites, in addition to the call number.

    Also, when you go to the detailed information that lists the call number, collection, and shelf location information, we thought perhaps, when the shelf location information is available, it might help if it was listed above the call number.

    Thanks for your consideration!

  9. As of now Vega doesn´t look at the order records in Sierra. We have set the system to allow holds on bib-records with no items attached for books. That in turn displays "On order" in Vega. This method has some complications but works for the most part since there usually are orders on these bibs. But we would like it to also display how many items are ordered. It helps inform our patrons if it´s worth placing a hold on the title.
    In the example (offer) I´ve included we have a new book with 8 copies ordered. If that information…

  10. When creating a bookmarked list, can the warning "law enforcement may be able to access without your consent" still be displayed like it is in the current PAC when a list is created?

  11. We would like there to be a similar feature to map it that there is in the current PAC. This is NOT similar to Stack Map in that this would help users find nearby libraries/branches within the consortium that have items (that they could travel to) and Stack Map seems to show them where items are within the library (a map within the library).

  12. Can you possibly index the volume sub field within the record in order to make the searching of books within a series a bit more efficient? For example, searching Dog Man 6 and getting volume 6 of Dog Man within our results.

  13. Currently in Vega Discover, adding an item to multiple lists requires you to go to your first list of items, select the particular item in the list and then multi select the lists that you want the item to be added into. Can there be a new feature to add items to multiple lists within the search results screen for streamlining purposes?

  14. We would like too add more sorting options to Vega Discover when on the results screen after doing a search. The options that are listed above for example will help with bringing the most relevant titles to the top of the results based on the user's searching preferences. This will promote giving users more options for better discovery.

  15. We would like Freeze hold to be taken out as a dropdown of Cancel hold and be its own button. It's not intuitive that you would click Cancel hold to get to Freeze hold. Alternatively maybe the button could say Edit hold, then the options could be Cancel or Freeze.

  19. 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.

  20. Libraries should have the option to exclude frozen holds from the total holds queue that appears in any catalogue.

    Benefits:

    1) Customers will have a better idea of where they are in the hold queue.
    We encourage customer-driven hold management, and customers have told us that they want an estimate of when their holds will be filled.
    This is especially true when customers place multiple hold on titles within a series.

    2) Customers will not see inflated hold queues and provide feedback to the Library that they should purchase more copies.

    3) Customers could make an education decision on whether…
