REQUEST:
Sierra Libraries can access Create Lists for creating Showcases.
Polaris Libraries can access Record Sets for creating Showcases.FEATURE DETAILS
Job Story: As a Showcase Admin, I can use existing bibliographic record lists from my ILS to create Showcases in Vega Discover.Acceptance Criteria:
Sierra Libraries can access Create Lists for creating Showcases. This will require utilizing the bibID links for linking to materials as Sierra does not have Rollups.
Polaris Libraries can access Record Sets for creating Showcases. This will require utilizing the bibID links for linking to materials as Polaris does not have Rollups.From original idea: https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951766-vega-discover/suggestions/46646182-use-existing-create-lists-record-sets-from-ils-f

REQUEST: Note fields include useful information that is meant to be displayed to users. This information helps users decide if the resource described is relevant to their needs.
A subtitle that appears only on the cover of a book might only appear in a 500 note. A note might specify that a resource is a reprint of an earlier publication or give the original title of a translation, just to name a few examples.
Most notes are repeatable, so all instances of these MARC fields should display when there are multiple. Currently, only the first 505 (Contents note) and the 520 fields display.
FEATURE DETAILS
Job Story: As a Vega User, I can view all notes from the bibliographic 5xx metadata for a give edition of a work.
Acceptance Criteria:
Index and display all 5xx field data from MARC instance records in the details popup of editions table.
Data will appear under a Notes heading in order.From original idea: https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951766-vega-discover/suggestions/46841806-display-more-note-5xx-fields

Even if these 5xx fields were only displayed once a specific edition of an item was chosen from a rollup, they should still be displayed. These notes are vital for access, selection, and general information of customers searching for the material that will fit their needs, and can be necessary to differentiate between versions of works with the same title.

REQUEST: Use the same, logically chosen bibID for the display of all Work Level Metadata. (Note: this means rollup logic will be improved, and Vega will prefer the newest edition of physical formats of works rather than econtent records)
FEATURE DETAILS:
Job Story:
As a Vega Librarian I can expect that all metadata and enriched content displayed for a work is derived from the same edition as the cover image (based upon logic that prefers the newest edition of physical manifestations of works).Acceptance Criteria:
Link cover images in search results on click to FRC.
The ISBN selection order based on formats is currently books, ebooks, large print books, audiobook, eaudiobook, blu-ray, dvd, and any remaining instances choosing the one with latest pub date. Ebooks tend to have terrible data and should not be the second choice for the ISBN of truth.
USE books, large print books, audiobook, ebooks, eaudiobook, blu-ray, dvd, any remaining instances choosing the one with latest pub date.
Apply our ISBN selection logic for bookcover images to the following:
ISBN sent to Syndetics for Widget data
ISBN used to determine the WORK display details
primaryAuthor
mainTitle
publication date | language
Summary display
Series, use the data from the chosen instance only. Do not display a series gathered from a different format edition if the work instance doesn't have a viable series field.Modified from original idea: https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951766-vega-discover/suggestions/46691467-ability-to-create-custom-rollup-rules

Hi Samantha,
At the time we submitted this request I don't think the feature was implemented. Now that it is, we would like it to be further refined as the display in the Innovative app--where the place in line is given as [x] out of [x], for example, 7 out of 9. I do like the incorporation of the status in the holds view. Hope this helps. Thanks!An error occurred while saving the comment Elaine Sloan

This is a feature currently in the PAC that customers really like and we would like to see implemented in Vega as a quality of life improvement.

Our consortium libraries would also use this feature; we feel like it's an important option for the kids' catalog.

This would absolutely be an improvement! Since it's not always a 1:1 mapping, I would love to know what is and isn't being mapped and where it's being pulled from in the bibliographic record. The bib rollup documentation helps, but it's not a mapping, and I think that would help solve or explain a lot of the differences to staff between the way Vega works and the way the ILS works.

The ability to use resource entities in Polaris to integrate econtent records in the catalog and limit views to only those who have access is something that Vega is lacking. Even though there is an API for overdrive, we have resource entities set up for records in our O'Reilly database and we want to keep these in the catalog. Vega currently doesn't provide any way to hide these records, and there is no API integration. Please offer this as a way to hide and separate access for consortia and libraries that want to keep their records in the catalog but also hide them from those who don't have access.

This should be a bug fix; this error is almost impossible to explain to the public and causes mistrust in our library systems because it exists.
