Notification of Converted Books

Blessings & Good Morning,

A couple of quick question: Will Wordsearch users be notified when entire Library is converted to the Logos platform? Also, will we be notified on which books could not be converted to the Logos platform? and will we be compensated in the form of store credit for the Logos store for whatever books that were paid for that could not be converted?

No; you paid for those books in Wordsearch and continue to have access to them there.

As an extra, free, bonus, you are getting access to as much of your library as possible in Logos. There is no credit for any resources where we couldn't provide this free service.

Ok cool, just wanted to clarify. So I'll ALWAYS have access to the books that do not cross over to Logos in the Wordsearch app.

Thnx.

For as long as the apps continue to work for you, yes. We're not revoking your Wordsearch licenses from the Wordsearch apps.

When I talked to a customer rep yesterday, he gave me this link to books being transferred to Logos.

what about particular, 'normal' bibles, like the ESVL? mine has not made the transfer... will it or is there a problem in getting those to make the transition?

I'm not seeing the ESV in your Wordsearch licenses. Can you confirm the version by opening your Wordsearch Library, right-clicking the ESV, choosing Properties, then pasting the Book Info (including the Book ID) here?

thanks for the reply. I am on a MacBook, so in order to get to my library I have logged into WS, but is shows under 'products owned' no books at all. I then went into 'launch word search desktop' to get to my materials, and the ESV is right there. I can't get it to copy and paste from 'properties', but here is what it says:

ver 20, English, there is no ISBN listed, categories bibles, CBP date 2/18/2015, DAT date: (same), book ID 0:190.

does that give you what you need? the copyright is 2001, by crossway bibles, a division of Good news publishers, database (c) wordsearch

Thanks Rob; this is helpful.

I'm not seeing 0:190 in our copy of your Wordsearch licenses, which is why you don't have access to it. We'll look into this more on Monday.

There are many books in my Wordsearch Library that I haven’t seen in Logos yet.

I would like to see a feature where I open up my Library in Logos and it tells me what has recently been added into my library. Is there a way to check this? I have many books in Wordsearch that I would like to incorporate into my "collections" in Logos and use immediately when they are available in my library. A feature like this would help this process immeasurably.

You can use one of the facets on the left side of the Library panel

Selecting one just shows resources added / updated in that period

Another quick question: how long does it take a book that has already been converted to the Logos platform, to become available in ones library? I have noticed some books that have been downloaded to Logos that are not in my library as of yet, that I have purchased in Wordsearch. Thnx in advance for your reply.

They are usually available as soon as Logos completes its indexing. For a full index of my library - which has ~15000 titles, it takes almost all night on my laptop, faster on my desktop.

For a new title or two, it normally only takes a moment or two.

If Logos has downloaded them, they should be available in your library pretty quickly (again unless you're adding 5 digits worth of books). Can you give an example of a book you have in wordsearch, that logos has downloaded, but isn't in your library?

Wow...Yeah I don't have 15000 titles..700 maybe....I wouldn't know what to do with all that knowledge...but thnx for responding..

Here are couple of examples: These state available on the wordsearch migration list but when I click on them I get a "Cannot Display Resource" message

0:3036 The English-Greek Reverse Interlinear Holman Christian Standard Bible: New Testament

0:3107 The English-Hebrew Reverse Interlinear Holman Christian Standard Bible: Old Testament

I guess I'll just wait til all this migration is over and see what happens after...then I'll put in for an inquiry

I'm not sure if those show up as physical books in your library, or if they just power other features...

There are a lot of options... Try turning this on in your favorite translation, and then mouse over the greek words, or right click on one and do a power search...

I love logos for the greek tools.

Here is what mine looks like with the interlinear turned on

its honestly an overwhelming amount of books.

I wanted to be able to research anything I wanted to, without the need of a local library and yet still be able to write papers for seminary, or improve my own knowledge in different areas whichever was needed.

The more books you have in Logos the more powerful it becomes. Its definitely a blessing, even if I have no hope of ever reading every page of every book.

Yeah...don't know if the tag "Logos Research" might have anything to do with it...but other books on the list have "ebook" tag..that is on the migration list....I might need to tap on every book to make sure that it appears in my desktop library......I also like to have a mini library when I am on the go studying the Word especially when it comes to the Greek/Hebrew...I am no scholar..but I try to be knowledgeable and gain understanding of what I am reading...now I am trying to get use to the way The Logos platform works...but I appreciate you responding and giving me feedback...many blessings....have a great day

0:3036 The English-Greek Reverse Interlinear Holman Christian Standard Bible: New Testament

0:3107 The English-Hebrew Reverse Interlinear Holman Christian Standard Bible: Old Testament

Reverse Interlinear(s) appear in Resource Information: Reverse Interlinear and Support Info (as RVI:...)

FYI: my Bible titles have Year prefix so sorting alphabetically is chronological.

Some Bibles only have New Testament Reverse Interlinear.

One way to find Bibles with Reverse Interlinear(s) is searching for original language lemma's: e.g.

<Lemma = lbs/he/רֵאשִׁית> OR <Lemma = lbs/el/ἀρχή>

Using OR to separate search terms causes result highlighting to have different colors.

Concur larger library is more useful for topical research (as my library shows almost 30,000 resources while being aware some Logos and Verbum users have substantially more resources). Also Thankful for digital resources since a number of opinions held by various writers vastly disagree.

Thankful for Faithlife having over 100,000 resources available plus looking forward to many WordSearch resources after conversion to Logos Research Edition.

.I also like to have a mini library when I am on the go studying the Word especially when it comes to the Greek/Hebrew...I am no scholar..but I try to be knowledgeable and gain understanding of what I am reading
