A Suggestion on New Publications

Greetings,

I just made a book suggestion by sending an email to suggest@logos.com ("Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ" by Harold W. Hoehner). After submitting the email I received a "confirmation" email. But that is (apparently) as far as it goes. As it stands now, we have NO IDEA if a title was approved, denied, unavailable (license restrictions, etc.) . Consequently, without appropriate feedback, one might (out of frustration) repeat the request of that same title.

IMHO, we need more feedback on book requests than just a confirmation of receipt of the email.

It would be really useful if ....

There were some web-based interface
wherein I could recommend a title and...
others could see the recommendation and...
Up-vote the recommendation such that...
Logos can gauge the community interest in the title and ...
Based on interest add the title to prepub.
If interest is high, logos could post a "status" message indicating that the title is (for example "Under Review", or "adding to prepub"), such that...
Members would know that the book was added and if not, why not.

This would eliminate duplicate requests and provide (much) more relevant feedback on book suggestions.

My $0.02.

Because of Calvary,

Preston Davis

Preston,

some of what you ask for is existing on this very site in the sub-forum "suggestions" ( http://community.logos.com/forums/28.aspx ). That forum is monitored by Logos, but we only very rarely get status updates.

Maybe you want to have a look there.

I may be mistaken but I believe Logos uses duplicate requests to gauge the level of interest a certain title garners. Our suggestions are not commitments to buy a title. A suggestion is nothing more than a "suggestion." I have seen a couple titles emerge on the Community Pricing or Pre-Pub lists right after a suggestion for it was made but i suspect they were already on the planning board.

As both a Web developer and an avid user, I've seen the success of this type of system.

See example here: http://tutspremium.uservoice.com/forums/176094-course-request

Be sure to note the filters at the top (including the status filter). Much more intuitive. Has nothing to do with the fact that they are suggestions. Suggestions are implied. This is just better "suggestion management", if you will. [;)]

Logos has a UserVoice forum, but it currently is not being used for resource requests, just feature requests:

Correct, but https://prepub.uservoice.com/ and https://communitypricing.uservoice.com/ were created for that very purpose some time back.
