In Print Library and Collections

It seems I can add tags to my In Print Library books but Collections don't seem to find them.

For example, if I add a tag "readin2023" to a book that's In Print Library, then make a collection with all books with that tag, the In Print Library books aren't shown in the collection.

Anybody know if that's how it's meant to work?

Collections currently only take into account resources that we oen in Logos and are downloaded to our computers - that probably explains what you are seeing

Is there a particular reason we can't add print books to a "Collection"? I have Owen/Gould 7 volume commentary on Hebrews. I can use the print book feature to search individual volumes, but I can't put them all in a collection to search the whole commentary. Is there a particular licensing reason for this inconvenience? If not, it would definitely be nice to be able to do this.

I think FL will do that (together with Cloud resources), but there should be an Option for users who only want downloaded resources via a filter rule.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is "FL"?

"FL" is an abbreviation for "Faithlife," the parent company of Logos.

Ah, thanks.

Yeah, doesn't seem to work. See screenshot. If I create a collection and tell start with books matching "Owen Hebrews," the commentary does not show up. If I drag from the library to the "Plus these books" nothing happens.

Yes, see Graham's comment above. Logos does not currently support adding books from your print Library (that you don't own in digital format as well) to collections.

I'm not sure if Dave meant they have plans to implement that in the future. I'm not privy to any such plans, though it has been requested on the feedback site. You can vote for that feature enhancement here:
