Scholars full list on the Web doesn't match my library

Is it me? Or am I missing quite a few books, vol sets like "Bible Lessons International Collection (17 Vols)" or the "Bible Exposition Commentary (23 Vols) actually being only a 2 Vol set? There are quite a few others that are either totally missing (could it be mis-named?) from the library or the Vol count is no where near what is listed on the "Scholars full List). I'm not necessarily complaining; just curious. I assume some of the things listed in the Scholars library are not ready yet? Or just named differently then what is marketed.

I just printed out the list and floated me a library window and went to find all the resources; so that I could organize my collections. Anyway this may have already been addressed, I did a search, but it was more missing books in L3/L4 rather than the Sholars missing resources.

Also when I do the math and subtract, the estimated 475 resources from what I already had before I upgraded to Logos 4 Leaders then >Scholars, it seems right. So maybe the full list just presents the titles in a different format naming convention?

The reasons for the differences you're seeing are:

Logos 3 included the help files in its resource count and those aren't counted anymore
Search your library for "Bible Lessons International" not "Bible Lessons International Collection" -- I have that resource too, and it shows up only under the former series title, not with the word "Collection" included.
Wiersbe's "Bible Exposition Commentary" is tagged as "Wiersbe's "Be Series" in Logos 4 for some reason. I only have the OT set so I can't verify this for the NT set, but look for Wiersbe and you'll find them. You can create a collection for your Bible Exposition Commentary to help you find it and include it in searches in the future. Here's how.

There are known problems with the metadata (things like series name) which are being collected to be fixed in a future release. I will add correction of the Wiersbe series name (to include "Bible Exposition Commentary" in it) so people can find it under the name it is sold under. Thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks Rosie for the info, I felt like I had the resources, but being the engineer that I am I was going through the list using the libray window to validate them all. Also thanks for the "Here's how" link.

I also did the search <title:Bible Lessons International> <Bible Lessons International> and <title:"Bible Lessons international"> and also a mk 1 eyeball search of the library (tedious I know).

It isn't there for me, unless named something entirly diffent then what it is listed under. Thanks for the help though.

Don't forget, if you are certain that you are missing a resource, you can always try using the command "update resources" in the command box (without the quotes) to see if that sorts it out. This invokes an operation of checking your licenses, library, etc. and does take a while though to run.

If Donovan's suggestion doesn't change anything for you (or perhaps even before trying that), search for author:utley and see if that finds it.

Try author:utley. The name "bible lessons international" is not in the resource titles.

In my case it's "stay up late" (Pacific Time Zone), but I only beat him by 2 minutes. So really the key is being OCD about checking for new activity on the threads I've posted to...

Aha!!!! I had already created my "Bob Utley Collection" I had no idea that this was it -[8-)] "Bible Lessons International" collection. Well now I feel a lot better, I'm sure the missing items I mentioned before along with the vol descrepancies are for sure moot.

Thanks guys for setting me straight, I created a lot of collections based on titles and authors names that didn't appear on the list, I should have known or at least guessed that I acutally had all my resources. Well it is 4:30am here in Houston Texas...and I'm wide awake after a 2 bagger of black tea and cream and a follow up of columbian coffee. might as well catch up on my reading.

Anthony, something else I realized after a bit more exploring: The "Bible Exposition Commentary" I have is actually the entire NT all in one volume (by Weirsbe). It's got 27 multi-chapter volumes built into that one resource, one for each book of the NT. I am guessing that this is essentially the same content as the 23-volume set sold as "Bible Exposition Commentary: New Testament" (by Wiersbe).
