MHLS is entering into the testing phase of our development partner work for Vega Discover, Innovative’s new discovery platform and public access catalog. The platform is still in development, and while other development partners have gone live, the platform is in its infancy. We are among the first consortia members to test Vega Discover. The entries below are known issues that we are working with the vendor, Innovative, to resolve. Our role as development partners is to identify issues and enhancements that we would like to see. Once identified, they may be quickly addressed, be reviewed for future enhancement, and possibly dismissed if other development partners do not prioritize a resolution for the product’s roadmap.

Problem: Patrons cannot place holds on titles that are yet to be released, like they can in Encore.
Reported: 11/19/21
Resolution: Mid-Hudson has adjusted the settings of each material type in Vega to be requestable even when no items are yet attached to bib records. The issue should be fixed. Please let us know if you are still having problems with this.
Problem: Clicking the Age Group facet to limit results to the appropriate audience level does not deliver many results.
Reported: 01/26/22
Resolution: The audience field in cataloged bibliographic records has been updated to include this value and the Age Group facet is now returning more results.
Please note that this field can only have one category assigned, and limiting searches with this facet may not always deliver all results for all collections, as some titles may be classified differently across multiple libraries.
For example, a record with this variety of location codes appears under the “Teen” Age group, but only 2 of the owning libraries have it shelved in their teen section. Another library has it in their adult section, and one in their children’s section. This title will not appear if the Age Group facet for Adult or Juvenile are applied.
Problem: Roll ups pulling together unrelated formats, such as a video game and a mixed media kit with the same title.
Reported: 01/24/22
Resolution: The Record Type fixed field in the MARC Leader have been updated to be consistently applied across a MatType and we have not identified any mismatched formats since. Please let us know if you discover any other records that are rolling up together when they should not be.
