For 2023.1+, would like to be able to sort not only by time of loan, but author. When I'm trying to remember if I read something, I usually look by the author. Ideally, Reading History (or any feature) functions in a similar manner across platforms.

Our patrons expect the ability to pay fines in the mobile app, since they are already able to do so in Vega and the Classic WebPAC. We don't use Comprise, would want it to work with PayPal, similar to payments made in WebPAC and Vega.

To piggyback on Jenna's comment below, we’ve been noticing that for titles where we have a print and then OverDrive records (eaudio and ebook), in the Vega results, the record display will not include the 520/summary, and usually there isn’t anything from Syndetics either (button linking to excerpt). This is usually newer materials and our minimal records from OverDrive haven’t been overlayed/updated yet. I usually learn of this when staff notices, often when we’re promoting something, like our book club list. I then go in and copy the 520 from the print (the more robust/better record) into the OverDrive records, run an extraction, to deal with it until our cataloger updates the records. A lot of extra work when the data is already there in the print version, which was cataloged before the ebook version.

Yes, I would prefer to have the option to scroll through facet choices, when you select "All <facet type>" - whether it's location, concepts, etc. This would be in addition to the option to search (if you happen to know what words are going to help you with results, which is not easy when it comes to "concepts.").

I am getting more and more comments about this from staff. It's very misleading when you use the facets, and have a link for "All persons" or "All concepts" and then get a window with just 24(?) and a search option. No way to scroll through all 346 persons that are supposedly related to the search. Pretty useless for the browser/person who has no idea what persons are in the full results set. You put in names and get no results. Very frustrating. Was this tested on regular users?

Please note that an AUDIENCE Facet already exists in Vega and can be turned on in the staff admin.

Yes, while target audience is already included, we would also like to be able to have fiction vs. nonfiction, mystery, etc. Picture books specifically. For that, staff can do the age/target audience, but it's still too broad (we have ours at juvenile). Now they also have to use the location facet (shelf location) and search to limit choices for picture books (luckily that is part of the branch/shelf location name). Too many steps.

Do you not have the age facet enabled? Or am I missing something.
We do tag for genre, and have it indexed, but no one ever really used it except a few staff. The WMR showed minimal usage in our classic WebPAC.

I would like to see the patron name, barcode under Notice Activity Logs > Sequences. I just see Failed to Send but don't know who was affected.

The product manager will review this idea for possible inclusion in a future release.

I would like it if the option could be set at the patron level, not the default of the Sierra user. We have patrons that don't want due slip, etc., and have to rely on a note in the record to remember that.

I always have to remember to change to item level view when I'm in cataloging (my default is Hold).

To add to this: Our users would like to be able to print out their bookmarks or export them, just specific information (author/title/call number) like they can in the classic catalog (which the staff prefer over Vega). They don't want the book jacket, roll up stuff, shelf locations, etc.

Our users would like to be able to print out their bookmarks or export them, specific information (author/title/call number) like they can in the classic catalog - put them all in a "bag" and then either export or put holds on all at once. They don't want the book jacket, roll up stuff, shelf locations, etc. If you can include this as part of this upgrade to the bookmarks, that would be great.

I just had an in-depth conversation about this with one of our library materials. She came by to tell me she really doesn't like Vega, prefers the Classic Catalog. When I asked why, it was specifically because she wants to exclude titles she's already read from her search results, particularly because she reads so many series (ex. Michael Connely). So she always goes to the Classic instead of Vega and gets frustrated because all we promote is Vega (links, showcases, etc.), and she keeps getting pushed there. If we could add this functionality in Vega (which many patrons are used to using in the Classic), I'm sure she'd be a convert.

Maybe there is the option to update blocks used in all templates or not? Just in case you didn't want the block updated on one notice but did so on the others?

See comment from PrarieCat 1/9/24 on Vega Listserv - https://listserv.iii.com/read/messages?id=507451.
We run into this issue, where a title like Bloom's Literary Places (Paris, London, etc.) were rolling up with travel guides with the same title (i.e., Paris), because in both cases the items in question had the same 245$a and neither had an author. I don't know if this would be remedied by being able to customize or not. Our catalogers would prefer to NOT change the 245 to something other than what's on the book in order to make Vega roll up correctly.
