On the admin/staff side for Vega Discover - ideally we would like the ability to have the list of Shelf Locations from Polaris with a "show/hide" option for each so that we can remove anything that may be irrelevant for search filtering (like a shelf location of Information Desk). This would give all of your customers the ability to best use this new filter facet in whatever way aligns with how they set up their combination of Collections and Shelf Locations in their ILS.
Also, did I mention that this capability exists in other products like Aspen Discovery, etc.? This could be a very useful feature so that Innovative can continue to compete against these other products. Thanks!!!

Other useful shelf locations for filtering that we have in our consortium include: Local Author, Mystery, Parenting and Family, Picture Book, Romance, Summer Reading, etc.

I've created a mockup of what this might look like, which also shows how useful it would be to be able to filter a combination of collections and shelf locations.

This is really important for us... we utilize collections as broad, overarching categories for items (Adult Fiction, Adult Non-Fiction, etc.), but Shelf Locations get more specific. Please add Shelf Location as a filter facet so that our librarians can limit down to "Early Reader, Picture Books, etc.".

Yes please - our consortium of libraries could really benefit from this (as most customers as well). Having the ability to easily limit to our own Material types would help patrons find things that don't have TOMs such as "Playaway, etc."
Ideal implementation would have an area in settings similar to Material Type Mapping that lets you see a list of all pulled in "Material Types" from Polaris and toggle them on/off for inclusion in the facets, and also provide the ability to rename a material type for a more patron-friendly display name. For example, we likely wouldn't want them seeing "Playaway-V" and would set the friendly display name to "Playaway Video".
Later development, we'd love to see the grouping of material types into a single material type facet item. For example, grouping DVD, DVD-J and DVD-RENT as "DVD" to help with searching.
After that, further development would ideally let us create a collection site specific to a material type or multiple selected material types. For example, we have a material type for "Library of Things" - this would be great to quickly use to filter for these items in a custom Collection Site.
Thanks for the consideration!

Yes, the ability to pull additional field data on in-transit slips. Perhaps similar to user defined fields, we could have branch defined fields, a BDF so to speak. So that BDF1 could have a description of "Route" and contain a route number, and BDF2 could have a description of "Stop" and 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.

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

100% agree with Kathryn's preferences. This is much needed for consortium/multi-branch/location customers.

Yes, this should either be accurate (although I know it may be difficult when taking into accounts advantage+ collections, central collections, etc. for consortium customers), or suppress "0 copies" on eContent if the accurate number can't be determined.
Yes - please provide this functionality! Many conference room software products for iPads and other tablets provide the ability to link to a Google calendar URL, and if we can set up a Google calendar sync PER reservable room then we can have a really nice display/signage for way finding.
