How do I request a title?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Fairly often I come across a book that I can only find available in Amazon, even though it's referenced in evangelical commentaries and appears to be a valuable resource dealing with a Biblical topic.

I'd obviously prefer to have it in Logos. Is there a process to request a title?

I think you request it here: https://community.logos.com/categories/feedback-resources

Thanks Yasmin!

By the way, I'm trying to keep up with new requests as they come in and respond accordingly. If you post a request and don't see the status change to "Under Consideration," "In Progress" or something else within a few days, feel free to message me.

My philosophy is this: if a title comes from a partner publisher with whom we have a very good relationship (that is, we can send an email requesting the title and get a contract addendum in place fairly quickly) AND if the title should have some level of appeal to at least some segment in our extremely diverse user base, then, let's go ahead and put it in the production system and move forward. If the title is from a publisher with whom we have no current contracts, or if there are likely no digital files, I'd like to see it get a few more upvotes, and I'll mark it "Under Consideration." And, then, there are some publishers who simply have not been willing to license content to us. For these, we will keep trying.

Once a contract is secured, the requested title will probably go into pre-pub status. However, feel free to politic your request for others to pledge toward it so that it can go into production more quickly.

Also, I know that there is a pretty large backlog of requests from before I was tracking them. I'm trying to get to these, but I have other responsibilities, so it's a slow process. If you feel like something you requested got "lost," message me with a link, and I'll look at it.

@Rick Mansfield (Logos) Since you brought it up 😊. TableTalk Magazine used to be part of the journal subscriptions but was dropped several years back. I had requested its return in Feedback a couple years or so ago but it appears to be dead in the water.

Would you please look into this. It is great resource. Here is a link

As far as I know you still do business with Ligonier Ministries.

I'm not sure how to message you, so I'll add the link here, in case you return to this thread. Thank you for the time you are taking to tackle these hundreds of requests!

I'm actually meeting with Ligonier today and hoping to update TableTalk as well as recent titles.

@Maria

I'll forward the request for the Chinese Bible to our team that handles non-English content.

Also, since I said "message me" in this thread, if you need to get in touch with me directly, email Rick.Mansfield@logos.com.

[And, no, I'm not worried about spam by posting my email address—before anyone starts saying such. Logos email has great spam filters!]

Thank you, @Rick Mansfield (Logos) !
