Hello everyone,

is it still possible to get the scans of books.logos.com inside Logos?

I read that it was once here: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/92636.aspx

My specific case is the latin edition of Jerome's Letters (ed. Hilberg): The factbook said that there is this ressource, but only had a dead link. ilian in the german community (https://community.logos.com/forums/t/192519.aspx) helped me finding that book  https://books.logos.com/books/5626#content=/books/5626
Is there some way to download it?

    Hi Tobias,

    the thread from back then clearly says that we need a certain BP level (gold and above) and/or a subscription for the next two years. No idea how that progressed, but at least for me, with L8 Gold+ and a Connect Essentials subscription running, I see a button in the top right corner "Add to Logos" which now, after I hit it, says "book added to Logos". The book downloaded to my Logos 8 library as a type:"media collection" resource, since it's not text, but only scanned pictures (i.e. no locator bar, no inline search) 

    gets into Logos as:

    Not what's being discussed, but related (hard text on latin Jerome):

    "If myth is ideology in narrative form, then scholarship is myth with footnotes." B. Lincolm 1999.

    Hi Denise,
    I have it in my library, but it doesn't contain the letter I'm interested in.

    Hi NB.Mick!

    So, there has to be a way [;)]
    L8 Academic Premium doesn't seem to be enough [:(]

    Are there only the pictures in Logos, or can you make use of the OCR-texts?

    In my understanding, at least for this resource, pictures only.
