Feedback-New Factbook- Library section doesn't show author's books/works

I use Factbook to look up authors i'm not that familiar with.

When I find one, the Factbook page always defaults to the All tab or Bubble ( I forget what it is called), which lists his Works, Sermons, and Letters among other things.

When I switch to the Library Tab, I would expect to see the authors Works from my own library. The other two categories are listed but not his Works.

Is this a bug?

It is also inconsistent. I own and have one book downloaded for Bill Hull. Here it shows on the "All" tab under "works".

Here on the "Library" tab nothing appears for "books in your library" or other categories

Here I own and have downloaded several MacArthur books, including his NT commentary series. This is the All tab.

Here in the Library tab it still shows no books in my library but shows his sermons and one journal article. It also displays more categories (dictionaries and bookstore) even if there is nothing available.

Summation of my feedback,

1. All authors should be available with biographical information in Factbook. This is currently not the case.

2. Occasionally, I own a Logos book with an author that is found in Factbook, and their books do not show up anywhere, not even within the "works" Category under the All tab.

3. If an author shows works available under the All tab, His or her works that I own should show under the Library tab in the appropriate Category.

4. The Library tab should consistently display all the possible Categories, regardless whether there is information to display under them.

Please don't take this as rejection of Factbook.

There have been a lot of recent improvements to Factbook for which I am very grateful. Those improvements have been a great help in shortening certain steps in my research. Because of these improvements I've started using Factbook much more.

My feedback here has to do with my particular use of Factbook that starts with a focus on authors, their background, experience on a subject or area. Granted it's only a snapshot, This helps with my Library organization.

I remember when Logos used to include this bio information on most every book on the preview page in the store, back when you gave previews way before a prepub would ship. Not many books have author bio information now.

Thanks, Bill! This makes a lot of sense; we'll take it under advisement.

As already stated elswhere, I´d really appreciate if Factbook would show primary sources contained in Logos, e.g. texts on Baal or the "Enuma Elish". Maybe as first entries under "Suggestions from the Logos Catalog"?

Hey Adam,

Can you take a look at this feedback on the new Factbook as well:

In general the Factbook Books sections are empty for me.
