Incomplete effort to change "resources" nomenclature to "books".
My understanding (can't find threads to back this up right now) is that with Logos 10, Faithlife was attempting to deprecate the use of "resources" in the UI, in favor of "books".
I found a couple of places where the old word is still there, both within the Books search tab.

Possibly so, especially when All Open Books is an option.

Thanks Andrew. It looks like these were still not updated, even though the Release Notes for Logos 22 included, under "UI Changes":
- Renamed “All Resources” to “All Books” in Morph Search.
So clearly, getting rid of these remaining references to "Resources" was a goal in 22. But it was not completed.
BTW, I came across yet another one:

It wasn't a specific goal for v22. Expect changes for v23.

Andrew, I found another example. Please make sure this gets caught for v23. This comes up when you click on a link to a book that you don't have the license for.

I've got so used to seeing "resources" that I'm going to miss the word when it disappears[:(]

especially because it is a more accurate description as some resources are not books e.g. the Interactives.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Me too. I'm just helping them be consistent if this is really what they want to do. Inconsistency bugs me more than losing my preferred terminology does.

For what it's worth, the word will not entirely disappear. Datasets are not considered books. References that encompass both resources that show up in your library ("books") and resources that do not ("datasets") should continue to use the terminology "resources".
