New facets (orginal pub date, negative facets)

Myke Harbuck

This would be for Logos.com AND ebooks.faithlife.com

Can you add an "ORIGINAL publication date" facet?

And add NEGATIVE filtering for all current facets (all of these, but NOT THAT).

NB.Mick

these are two different (and actually fully unrelated) suggestions. The first problem is that "original publication date" does not exist in the metadata and it would need a certain effort to tag 50k resources - and all new incoming on an ongoing basis.
Maybe this needs to split out.
The second one is related to the suggestion about filtering out fiction, only that the people there ask for ONE negative facet for a (small) number of genres, while it would be much more beneficial to just have negative facets to filter for all categories, which I strongly support.

Sometimes, negative facets would be extremely useful to filter out books we already have in our wish list or authors we know we aren't looking to read just yet, or perhaps want to avoid a particular bias (WELS or Catholic or Messianic, etc.) as some people might want these denominations of books but not those denominations and its more than 1 they want to filter out, but do not wish to only find 1 specific denomination of books.

For example, some people might relish all Charismatic books, Assembly of God, Messianic, Lutheran but wish to avoid Evangelical and Catholic. Or they might want WELS, Catholic and Evangelical but want to avoid Messianic, Judiac, Spirit-filled, etc. Or, a particular author(s) because they are trying to wrack their brain to remember a specific book and they are clueless as to its title.
