Frequently Asked Questions

Why did you switch from BiblioCommons to Vega Discover?

SDPL has moved to Vega Discover to provide a more unified and streamlined digital experience. Vega Discover is part of the Vega platform within the integrated library system ecosystem, bringing together web, discovery, events and marketing tools into a single, cohesive solution. This consolidation allows us to simplify workflows, improve consistency across services and better engage our community through a seamless, user-friendly interface.

What will happen to the patron data like lists, reviews and reading history that are currently on BiblioCommons?

The library is currently working with BiblioCommons to transfer user list and shelf data. This process may take some time. Unfortunately, past reviews and ratings could not be uploaded. 

Reading history, for those who have enabled it, is tied to the specific SDPL cardholder account and may be viewed in Discover.

Will this affect the app?

The new SDPL to Go 2.0 app is replacing the previous version. Some mobile devices will automatically update the app, however, if your app is not working, please download the latest version from the App Store or Google Play.
