Feature-based collections are hard to find

I was looking for the recent feature-based collections this morning (e.g., ancient literature collection, etc). Looked for a category in the store, did not find it. Tried to search for "collection" and got way too many hits. Looked under bundles, nope. Unless I missed something, and that is well possible, it would be good to make these more easily "findable".

I was thinking the same thing yesterday.

I have complained about it too.

My apologies! We're about to begin increasing their visibility (through more emails, blog posts, etc.). Still working on creating a few more of them, actually, so keep checking your email and the LogosTalk blog to see when new ones are up.

Here is a link that will show you all of them: https://www.logos.com/products/search?Product+Type=Logos+Feature+Collection

As new collections are made, they'll automatically populate on the list in that link.

Thanks Brandon, for the reply. Personally, it is not so much blogs and emails I would like to see, but a category in the Logos store.

It would be nice to have it in the drop down as well.

When viewing these collections, is there a way to "see" which resources you already own and which would be new to your library without having to check your library resource by resource?

This has been asked in relation to topical bundles and other collections as well, but so far, it is primarily the base packages that have this functionality. I agree with you that it would really useful to use. Personally, I find it a deterrent to purchasing when it takes too long to evaluate a number of different products. When I see clearly that a product is worth it and something I need, I buy if I can afford it. But if it is not clear, I put it off.

That's pretty much been my take on it as well. I just don't have the time to check every resource in the bundle against my library.

The Feature Collections link has been added to the Logos.com global nav under Logos 6 >> Get Started.

Thanks for your patience. Enjoy!

Thank you, Simon. Regarding these collections, on April 23, I asked " ...is there a way to "see" which resources you already own and which would be new to your library without having to check your library resource by resource?". As far as I can tell, the web pages that can be accessed via the new link still don't provide a means to do that, but I thought I'd double-check just in case I'm missing something.

Rick, that is a great question. Let me find out for you!

Thanks, Simon. Question: why is it there as opposed to listed in the Store?

Rick, looks like there is not a great way to figure that out at this time. It's definetly somthing that we're working on though.

Francis, that's a great question! The reason I think they fit well under "Logos 6 >> Get Started" is because the product is mainly for those who have a Logos 6 basepackage. What we've done is hand-curate the top resources that make basepackage features shine.

I'm working on adding them to "Store >> Basepackages" because I think these collections fit there as well as a number of other places on the site.

What do you think of these collections? Have you played with any of them yet?
