Searching for resources question...

Is there a way to search for resources that do not require a subscription vs require a subscription?

I don't want to remove the subscription books all the time because it gives me the ability to decide if I want to upgrade from L10 Ultimate to a subscription.

But.... At times, I don't want to have resources returned that I can only get as part of a subscription.

This would be a good upgrade to the search, like owned or not, Requires subscription or not...

Thanks to all who respond!

Hello,

The subscription comes with some books that you will lose if you cancel the subscription, but you can purchase these same books individually or if they are in some of the denominational library packages that are still available for sale or in the legacy packages. The ones that require a subscription are the 2025 libraries. To acquire a 2025 library you can subscribe for just one month, buy the 2025 library that will be your property and then cancel the subscription.

There are no books (that I know of) that require a subscription. You will be able to buy the books others get through a subsciption. In the future, it is planned that books will show the subscription(s) they are part of, just like the libraries and other bundles. Is that what you intend to suggest?

There are, however, books that you have access to through a subscription (or due to other circumstances that give you a temporary license, such as the former "fundamentals" package or the Galaxie subscription for journals). Individual books will show that, but there's no way to search/filter for them, so it may happen that users accidentally buy books they already had access to. Thus it might be a nice addition to search for them or actually: to exclude them from other searches - once Logos gives their current search provider a kick (either to make them produce meaningful results and long-needed improvements or to boot them out and get/maintain themselves a solution that works better), we may be able to see such improvements. A further suggestion would be to have a button for bundles to "exclude those I already have access to" (along with "exclude those I own already") in order to better gauge the additional value such a bundle would bring.
