Import list of ISBN numbers into print library feature

Yes, adding ISBNs would be handy.0
-
Wow, I just gave away 2,000 print books before finding out this was an option on Logos.0
-
Yes, please. Some of my commentaries don't have bar codes to scan. Being able to add a list of ISBNs would be a huge part of the feature that led me to want the upgrade.0
-
Totally agree especially for those with larger libraries.0
-
Always helpful. Just the cost.0

This is really a "requirement" for this feature. Obviously this is a database system that can manipulate data in various ways so it should not be difficult. I don't want to judge motives but maybe Logos does not want to make this feature available since you could load your entire school library into your Logos library and then maybe not buy as many Logos books. But I actually think this is a good and valid marketing tool (the Print Library feature) to actually sell more Logos books since your will be reminded of the convenience and features of the Logos books each time you are led to your paper library from Logos.0

Need this! I have over 400 books in my print theological library, and I have them all tracked on LibraryThing. I do not want to have to scan my whole library again.0
-
@Roy Kosin I didn't think about this. Yeah, if that was the case, one could easily cheat the system to never have to buy reference books again.0

@Paul R McCuistion The idea that limits use of Logos to items within Logos is absurd. I have several programs with which I work to analyze things I have obtained from Logos, but which Logos does not give me the flexibility to work with those other programs that have added abilities with which I write. Please, as much money as we put into Logos, liberate us to carry things elsewhere to do things with articles/books/journals we PAID for, as we wish. It bears a connotation of a reversal of Academic Freedom. I'm not trying to get rid of, or disempower Logos, but by use of other programs I have, to enhance the power of Logos to do things Logos is not able to do on its own... Three simple examples include Obsidian with its graphic views, and Scrivener with its ability to handle long articles with lots of documentation, authorial flexibility, and Zotero with its citation capabilities. Also, this is not any effort to circumvent documentation of sources or other legitimate sourcing data, but a way to enhance it... As a writer, it is important to me to research what Logos provides as my primary sources, and then to use other programs (as those mentioned above) to enable me to see details I might have missed in Logos and write about them from a cohesive perspective. Sermon maker is a good start for sermon prep. But there are some of us whose projects go beyond the building of a 20-30 minute sermon. Let us determine the sort of help we need, rather than trying to force us into a funnel... Thanks...0

I agree.0

It would be handy to be able to add ISBN that are not in Logos (yet). I understand they won’t be searched but handy to upload so they will work if Logos gets acces to them0
-
We need this!0
-
Do it!0

This would be an excellent improvement. I have many books with ISBN codes which were printed before they started adding bar codes, so I can't put them in my print library.0

Yes - this would be helpful. Especially if we could also export our print library list. Then we could share it with others in the congregation - such as the church library collection or an assistant pastor's collection. This would enable us to quickly locate books that were not on our own shelves. It would be nice if there were a method along with the bulk upload to categorize the collection (i.e. "Church Library", "Pastor's Library"), and locate the shelf/address of the book. Also, very helpful to the average pastor would be a built-in loan tool where he could loan out his books without worrying about losing them.
Imagine everyone in your church downloading Logos, just so they could have the church library titles organized so they are easy to know about and access . . . how many of them would make a few Logos purchases - seems like an untouched income stream to me. One way to share these would be as you do documents like Reading and Prayer Lists - with "Yours" "Group" and "Public" (though likely not having a "Public" option).
I don't think you should worry too much about losing income from increasing the size of one's collection by borrowing from their fellow pastor . . . after borrowing "that" book a few too many times, it is likely to make it on their next Logos shopping list.0 -
Even better would be to create a scan function to scan ISBN numbers using a camera.0

Lots of requests for the dating back over a year.
I don’t see any word from Logos as to whether these requests are being read or if there is any plan to introduce such a feature.
Really does seem straightforward and common sense.0 -
Wie wäre es mit Carsten Peter Thiede / Matthew d'Ancona: Der Jesus-Papyrus? ISBN 3-630-87983-7; Englisch: Eyewitness to Jesus; Doubleday, New York.0
-
Yes, a no-brainer.0
-
It would be nice to have the „print library“ tool already below the gold tier.0
-
It would be great to upload a CSV or Excel file to L10 with a list of ISBNs which is automatically compared with the Logos library and adds any available titles to my "print library" list. Same as Samuel Lindsay has said...0
-
This would be amazing - I have way too many books to scan... though I have them all cataloged already with Libib0
-
Yes, and I would like to be able to scan in all my books to have a copy of my physical library whether or not Logos has it for my own organization and in case the title gets picked up by Logos in the future.0
-
The feature of adding your print library into the logos application is fantastic. One step further would be that you can add all your books in print via ISBN to the logos library (of course a book search would not be possible, since it requires the complete book to be in logos, but it would develop logos into a library app)0
-
This would be extremely helpful0
-
I would appreciate the option to import a ISBN list of books.0
-
Absolutely. And provide access to the Logos Library ISBNs as a field/Type in the database.0
-
Important. Many older print editions have an ISBN, but no bar code. Manual entry options for ISBNs would be a rich addition for many users with a substantial physical library.0

Please add my vote!0

Can we PLEASE have an automated import from Kindle?0
