Having a renewal block for up to 50% of the items checkout period would be beneficial and also serve to reduce the potential for any artificially inflated circulation numbers.

As a library that has recently completed a large weeding project and planning ongoing weeding, it would be beneficial to have deleted items not show up in search results for staff. As part of a consortia, this could help staff at other system member libraries so that they only see items that are able to be requested and need not disappoint patrons when an item turns out to be deleted.
I also think the functionality would be helpful for Withdrawn and Damaged items, too. Having it as a toggle on/off setting in a user profile would be great because then staff assigned to weeding projects or technical services staff could use the view that does include those items.

This is a critical issue. Patrons expect their lists to be available to them whatever their barcode is or the reason for changing it. It is imperative that a solution to use the PATRON ID for lists or that a workaround to merge lists when a patron barcode is changed be implemented. Within a consortium with 32 member libraries, we update patron barcodes frequently for patrons who may move from one member library community to another, as well as many other reasons referenced in the original comment.

Our library would use the message feature, but if it doesn't appear in Vega Discover which we have migrated our patrons to, then the message feature is not helpful in saving staff time or empowering patrons.
As an example, a DVD release was just canceled and there were 45 holds on it. Using the message function would be a great way to communicate that it was canceled to all of those patrons.

It would be really awesome to have a "Share" button for events that would allow people to share them on social media, by email, or in a text message. While the ability to share on social media is nice, we have a large population of people who are NOT on social media that would find it handy to be able to invite people or promote our events to their friends and family by email or in a text message.

Agreed. We're in a consortia and when updating a barcode for a patron in our area we may need to know their previous barcode. It is also necessary for us to have the former barcode when we merge accounts on Libby/OverDrive so they can keep holds and histories. Automating the populate former barcode field would be efficient and preferred.

Being able to edit, update, and change is an efficiency needed. While we don't book rooms currently, when our building is renovated, we will have two community rooms, and four meeting/study rooms to manage and this idea will be needed. As Cecelia said, sometimes those booking a room will choose the wrong booking type and staff need to be able to edit it rather than starting over.

With all of the options people have outside of libraries, an On-Order option would make it easier for patrons to identify materials that are new, confirm if their library has ordered an item, and to place a hold. This functionality would be extremely beneficial.
