logos 5 upgrademissing many new books

Monty, after installing L5 there is a second download with new and upgraded resources. If you have already installed L5 you can wait (some have said it takes while since the servers are very busy) or type Update Resources in the Command Bar and hit Enter. That will check for new resources.

That wouldn't take. Week. Did you try Update Resources?

Am I reading it right?

No, since you disregard the dots in the columns, which in your picture show nicely how the number of resources grows up to Portfolio. If you bought the package with the solid dots, you'll have all the resources from the top until "thoughts for the quiet hour" 

Monty,

if you hover over the icon it will tell you more about the resource and also the number of books and datasets you own. So it could be that you own 17 vols of such a collection, but Logos has 18 as the full number because there was a special menu or help file in Logos 3 etc. Sometimes this may be insignificant (and won't change your update price), sometimes it may be the missing resource that's the bulk of it (Keil-Delitzsch OT commentary counts 54 books and datasets, I own 53 of them but the one thing missing is the book that contains the 10 vol commentary itself). We all know that "volumes" is different than the number of resources in the library, and it goes both ways (for example you won't see RIs in the library).

What the website shows is more like this: Logos counts licence entries from their database. The selection "new to me" will have all those where the number of licences associated with your ID is smaller than the number of available licences for this resource set in the database. In most cases, the missing licence will bring you a book to the library, but not in all of them.

This has been discussed in some threads since Logos introduced the feature, and I believe they said they will tweak this feature to be more reconcilable to our libraries. I haven't read of any real error so far. But maybe you could post up some screenshots from the website and the library to verify.

Monty– as Mick suggested, it will show a dot for collections which you own only partial ownership of. It would be helpful if they would have given a half circle for these resources (ala consumer reports).

On my page it shows a question mark for collections that you already have a portion of. You click on the collectioin and it tells you how many of the resources that you own.

I know, but it isn't apparent. I come from the school that says "make it easy." A half circle would be obvious to many people, and once explained, would make sense to most. Even better… it would be good if you could hover over the half circle and get your collection license info that way. 

This is the symbol I am talking about: ◒ It is a variation of one of the "Harvey Balls" symbols.

when I saw your example the first thing that I thought of was a fairly poor review in Consumer Reports Magazine and would have probably related it to that

Fair point… So lets go with this one: ◐ [:)]
