This means that if an on-order title is linked to an OverDrive purchase, it will appear in the library’s collection site.</span><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">This distinction stems from Vega’s integration with OverDrive, which is designed as a full-county service that also reflects in local catalogs.</span><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">While some areas, like the handling of on-order records, are still in development, the PALS Technical Advisory Committee feel the benefits of the new catalog significantly outweigh these challenges.</span><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Vega offers an intuitive user interface that allows patrons to seamlessly search, reserve, and check out various electronic formats without leaving the catalog.</span><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">These enhancements provide a more modern, user-friendly experience and ensure the library is well-equipped to meet evolving patron needs.</span><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Dave Jones</span><br style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">PALS Technical Advisory Committee Chair</span><br clear="all"></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><img width="420" height="134" src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/mail-sig/AIorK4wthMpClg537-i9_jeqws7e5BHa_sT_7Fa0b-27nSlMGpQXQbhqAexcRV8M4GcWwcyAjzjrr9A"></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 20, 2024 at 10:54 AM Stephen Ingram <<a href="mailto:stepheningramlibrary@gmail.com">stepheningramlibrary@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">We noticed that books on order are not showing up in Vega.<br>
<br>
However, ebook or audiobooks from overdrive which are on order seem to<br>
be showing up.<br>
<br>
Any idea about the difference?<br>
<br>
I am curious why system is pushing this software if it is so half-baked.<br>
