OAI-PMH Updates
Multiple OAI configurations can now be created using the same base OAI URL. This allows libraries with collections that use different methods to generate thumbnail URLs to create separate connections for each collection(s) that use a specific thumbnail generation url template.
Video Support
From the help documentation for staff, you'll see a new tile will take you directly to support videos and other documentation created for Vega Discover.

Premium and Consortia Libraries
Thank you to our Themed home page early adopter libraries who provided feedback on the training process and created these exciting examples of what you can do with a themed home page.

Vega Code Deploy Rescheduled for March 14
Dear Vega Customers,
This morning there was an unexpected incident related to an OverDrive outage that caused a downstream impact to Vega, creating an outage for Vega Systems using OverDrive.
The OverDrive issues has been resolved. We have verified that all affected customers systems have all expected functionalities restored.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to your library by this error. We’re committed to fixing this kind of issue systematically, so it never happens again, and we appreciate all of you who helped us catch and correct the problem.
Because of this issue occurring during the scheduled Vega deployment window, we have delayed our planned code deployment for all Vega Products to tomorrow March 14th. This new code deployment will include a fix to minimize the impact to Vega when a partner has an outage. Changes will be applied to your Vega Systems during the normally scheduled off-hours for your libraries across the globe.
Best Regards,
Your Vega Product and Engineering Teams
