Q. What is Vega?

We are excited to announce the Vega Discover catalog, a new discovery experience for print and electronic resources, which replaced the Encore catalog in September 2023.

A few things to look for in our new catalog

• User-Friendly Design – The interface is intentionally clean and simple so that you can easily find what you need.
• Combined Formats and Editions – Print, large print, eBook, and eAudiobook formats will be displayed together when you search for a title of the same work, making it easy to select the desired format. 
• Display Resources, Authors, and Topics – The new catalog allows you to browse for books, video games, movies, etc., on the same topic you just searched for or related topics that might also interest you.
• Manage your Account and Create Custom Lists – Sign in to view your account, check due dates, renew online, or manage your physical and ebook holds.  In Vega, you can bookmark items and use them as a reading list, book club possibilities, and things your family might like—for any reason. 
• Website Accessibility – Whether you use a screen reader or other assistive technology, our new catalog is designed to meet accessibility guidelines.
• Smart Search – Use the Topics to find pertinent or connected topics to narrow or expand your subjects.
• Check out the videos below on how to use these new features.

If you have questions or concerns, please use Ask-a-Librarian to contact staff.
