I am not even going to bother telling staff (and patrons) that they can search by call number, because the requirement to enter a call number in its entirety is pretty ridiculous. It needs to work like it does in classic WebPAC - it's an index, part of the drop-down choices, and you can search for partial.

Currently it is not obvious that you can search by call number. I think library patrons, especially staff and power users (who continue to use the Classic because of the perceived lack of this option), are going to look for that.

Yes, if this could be wrapped into the bookshelf/your account improvements, that would be great. You sign in, you can remove already read/reading history titles from your results and in your reading history, rate the item (5 stars). These are options our patrons expect.

We try and replace old records with OCLC when we are repairing or notice, but that's a task that will never be finished. Having summary information would be helpful.

Edit Hold makes complete sense.

Yet another function available in the old catalog but not Vega. If you have a lot of holds, this is a lot of clicking to deal with.

This is how your average person searches, they know it's number X in the series. You should be able to search Dog Man 6 and get it. When I do that, I get nothing. Can only search "everything" or "series" for Dog Man and then have to scroll through or try sorting by newest to oldest to find it.

Yes, this is how it works in the old WebPAC. You get a message, "Request denied - already on hold for or checked out to you" (doesn't appear to be in the messages.conf file). You'd think it would work that way in the more advanced catalog...

Sierra/WebPAC had the somewhat lame preferred search option, so you'd get an email alert when something you tagged (author, subject) was added to the collection, but very rudimentary. I would like a better version of that, but not for holds to be placed automatically. My concern is about the build up of holds (which people forget about). Definitely make it optional to place a hold automatically (option for library to make that an available option for patron, who must opt-in).

For staff users, correct? At least if the Knowledge Base pointed to what support provided me in a ticket about this:
When you get a question about a cover image, start by right-clicking on the cover image and selecting "Open image in new tab." The image's URL will then display in the browser bar. Check whether it includes a UPC, because Syndetics will use the UPC first. If there's just an ISBN, and the ISBN is correct, and it's still showing the wrong cover, then that's reportable to Syndetics. And yes, you can send them an email to get their data corrected. See "Data Corrections" on this page.
https://proquest.syndetics.com/contact/
Please send an email at syndetics.corrections@proquest.com and make sure to include the ISBN/UPC/ISSN/EAN of the title in question.

Doesn't this depend on your Location hierarchy settings (under Settings | Library defaults | Location hierarchy)? We have Level 1 as Branch and Level 2 as Shelf Location and thus that displays as expected. Maybe that doesn't work for Consortiums that have at least 3 levels?

Is this a Polaris-only thing? We are a Sierra library, and when you click on Forgot PIN (the link is taking you to /pinreset used by our old WebPAC), you do get the message that the email doesn't exist.

I would want this to be optional. While at first I wanted it (it displays in classic WebPAC), I then realized that it's cut down on patrons asking repeatedly about items close to or slightly overdue, as they focus on the due date ("that should have been returned last week!"). They now just see it checked out and place a hold vs. not placing a hold and pestering staff.

This appears to be working as expected - clicking next takes you to the top of the next page.
