Can I determine when I added a resource to my library?

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to determine when I added a resource to my library in Logos4. When I buy a book I usually note down the date I bought the book in one corner. This is quite nice to determine how long I had a book. Anyone know if Logos somehow makes a note of this? Thanks

It doesn't, I'm afraid. The new version of Logos coming soon (4.2) does note the date the resource was last updated, but not your purchase date. Items you've bought direct can be viewed on Logos' website though: https://www.logos.com/user/orders

Thanks Mark.

Hi Sarel

In 4.2 (now available as a Release Candidate) there is the "Last Updated" field in the library.

This feature is discussed http://community.logos.com/forums/p/24848/185018.aspx#185018 (and elsewhere)

However, while this is useful in seeing when resources were downloaded there are a couple of issues in terms of what you are looking for:

initially, all dates will be set to the same
when resources are updated, this date will be updated as well.

You could tag the book yourself with this information - please see http://wiki.logos.com/Library__#Tagging for information on this.

Hope this helps

This is one feature I miss from L3. The account summary would sometimes list books under a package that you purchased, so you can look on their website to see the date that you purchased the package. "About this resource" usually would specifically tell you what package you got it in. I remember a thread discussing this quite a while back and I think I remember Bob P. saying "why does it matter if you know?" (Forgive me if I misquoted, but that is what I remember.) Personally, I do like to know where I got my resources and when... A discussion similar to this occured recently on the subject of "what is being downloaded." While it doesn't matter, I am in the group that likes to know this info, even if it is not critical or pertinent.

You could check your order history at https://www.logos.com/user/orders (It's waaaaay down at the bottom of the page).

Of course, George is right. It will also show you the total of how much money you have spent with Logos.

Yikes!![:O]

I doesn't show me the amount I've already spent (Perhaps they're afraid I'd have a heart attack if I knew), but it does show the amount of the prepubs I've subscribed -- that is certainly enough to bring on cardiac arrest (Send the ambulance).

On my Order page it shows a heading: "Open Pre-Pub Orders" then at the bottom of that list the total; then "Open Community Pricing Bids" then at the bottom of that list the total; then "Order History" then at the bottom of that list the total.

If you scroll down past prepubs and CP sections don't you get to a list of everything you have spent?

Not on my page. I get a total for prepubs and for community pricing, but nothing on my order history (Perhaps there are too many to fit on one page and the total is at the bottom of a second page?). Oh well, what's done is done. [:S] My commitments for future publications does concern me.
