There are many examples of when the name of an author/contributor as pictured on the item, listed in the 245 $c, is different from the version in the authorized 1xx or 7xx field. As such, the 245 $c needs to be indexed for searching, since that is what patrons are more likely to search by - they have no idea about authorized versions of names in LC, much less what they would be for any given author/contributor. Additionally, a recent example illustrated to us that even when they are very close to what the authorized name is, they could still miss finding what they need - searching "AJ Pearce" as pictured on the item doesn't retrieve the same results as when searching "A. J. Pearce", which is the authorized version. A patron wouldn't know this.

Yes, and please give us the ability for this request to go to the patron's registered home library and not a central email account. Thanks!

The way this would work best would be if the patrons were able to select exactly which formats they wanted to include in the grouped hold - not just automatically include every single format in a roll-up

In Polaris, staff can group holds on different formats together for patrons if, for example, they don't care whether they get the DVD or Blu-ray, or the regular print or large print. This would be great patron service if they could do that themselves.

Can we combine this with https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951766-vega-discover/suggestions/48095489-allow-patrons-to-add-or-modify-username-field-va and get it to 54 votes?

This would be great for us, since patrons from our libraries are likely to view other libraries' collection sites at times, and there's nothing that would alert them they might not have access to some of the econtent retrieved in their searches. If there was a way to pass through what's shared/not shared in OverDrive (and hoopla once it works for constortia) via the API so that this was clearer for our patrons that would be great.

What Eric said! We would like fields for each branch with a description of "Route" to contain a route number, and a description of "Stop" to contain a stop number for delivery purposes. These fields could then be customizable by any customer for their needs and display purposes on a per branch basis on receipts or in other areas of the ILS.

Displaying is important, but retrieval is arguably even more important. Indexing subfield c is key for that. There are many examples where results can't be retrieved, because the authorized name from the 1xx/7xx field isn't the one being searched (e.g. Steve Brezenoff produces over 60 results in the PAC, but only 1 result in Vega, because the authorized name is Steven Brezenoff) - how would a patron know to find/search the authorized name instead? Do they even know what an authorized name is? More likely they would just assume the library doesn't have those items and abandon their search.
Please vote on this idea to index subfield c: https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951766-vega-discover/suggestions/49792655-index-245-subfield-c
