Welcome to the Noet forum
Welcome to the Noet forum!
Noet is a new initiative of Logos Bible Software that brings our existing technology to bear on the humanities. Noet serves disciplines that involve original-language research and text comparison—classical studies, philosophy, intellectual history, and literature. Designed for scholars, students, and other lovers of the classics, Noet serves those wishing to engage the core texts of the Western intellectual tradition.
I look forward to reading and responding to your thoughts and suggestions about Noet, and I welcome any feedback you might have about this new venture.
For more information about Noet and Noet products, I invite you to visit www.noet.com. You'll find detailed responses to questions you may have at www.noet.com/faq. I also invite you to read Bob's announcement about Noet on Logos Talk.
Thanks!

1) From Bob's blog: "Noet (rhymes with “poet”) is the Logos platform repurposed for scholarly ebooks outside biblical studies: Greek and Latin classics, philosophy, literature, Shakespeare, Judaica, etc."
Can you comment on the Judaica part? Judaica clearly isn't "outside biblical studies". Are you planning to use Noet as a more 'neutral' platform for Jewish users? Are you planning to finally fill the huge holes in the Jewish offerings? Will there be a Jewish Product Manager?
2) Bob's blog again: "But more excitingly, we’ll customize Logos 5′s tools to support the special needs of disciplines beyond biblical and theological studies: we’ll support (...) word-for-word comparisons of different editions of Shakespeare"
Sounds like you intend to expand Text Comparison. How far do you plan to take it? My dreams for TC can be found e g at http://community.logos.com/forums/p/43428/324614.aspx#324614.[;)]
3) You need to look over the product pages for the 'old' philosophy collections and add 'Also included in' sections. E g, if I were about to pay $72.95 for the Classics in Empiricist Philosophy Collection (9 vols.), I'd want to know that for only $17 more I could get the whole Modern Philosophy Bundle (21 vols.).

I hope so! And I hope it would spill over from Noet onto Logos offerings. Would want there to be an advocate for the works of Jewish authors like Abraham Joshua Heschel, Martin Buber, ibn Ezra, Rashi, etc.

4) Have you seen Is It OK if I dislike Noet?
5) When will you start pushing CP's on noet.com? We need help with Lewis & Short, Sophocles, the Patrologia's and a number of other things of interest to Classicists.[;)]

We hope to begin doing this in the fall. It's true that there are several Greek and Latin resources that have stalled on community pricing, many of which are essential for Noet's catalog. The new audience that Noet will attract will help get these kinds of resources into production faster. At this point, you can help by sharing the news about Noet and directing your friends to the site. [:)]

Great suggestion. We'll address this next week.

We have some Jewish users, but some don't wish to use a product with a cross in the logo, Christian branding, etc. Moving Judaica under the Noet brand will allow us to sell the Judaica that our Christian audience wants to a Jewish audience too, with less friction / explanation / etc. I believe the result will be an ability to publish more material that Logos users want at lower cost to all users.
fgh said:Text Comparison. How far do you plan to take it?
Far enough to compare Shakespeare, and other materials, and probably some (can't promise all) of what you want.

As a large number of people I am sure took advantage of the 'free' persueus collections and have the aristotle and plato etc books, are those who have access to those works eligible for the timeline etc that also comes with those collections?
Also, if we 'order' collections do we get discounts off the products we already own?

The Plato and Aristotle in Noet are different editions than the ones in Perseus.

Seems you need to do the same for the 'new' bundles. The smaller Greek bundle should be 'included in' the larger Greek bundle and so on.
Also, given that these bundles are meant for Classicists, you need to make it very explicit what they can and cannot expect from the tagging, especially the differences between Perseus and 'normal' resources.

Hi Mike,
After looking over the Noet forum and website I still have a question. For those resources that are "like" on both Noet and Logos, will all the capabilities that Logos has work with the same? i.e. searching, tagging, linking, etc.
The example is the Harvard Classics that are being discussed in this thread. Specifically, the disparity in price that Mark Smith points out in the apparent less expensive Noet version.
I'm a little lost. [:S]

Some "Under Development" pre-publications show already licensed:
Dreaming of a mega Noet bundle with dynamic upgrade pricing => Will there be a Mega-Bundle of all resources offered?
Logos search for Noet => http://www.logos.com/products/search?q=Noet is missing two discounted pre-publications:
=> Harvard Classics Collection (51 vols.) $ 149.95
=> Harvard Fiction Collection (20 vols.) $ 59.95
=> The Harvard Classics and Fiction Collection is already available with dynamic upgrade pricing, but lacks Noet launch discount
Keep Smiling [:)]

Peace, Milford! Never fear. I was concerned that I was in the same situation as you and was about to chime in my similar question to Mike. I even was going to ask "Couldn't the Kant works be split out into an 'upgrade' collection for those of us who already own the rest, as is often done with pre-pubs?"
But then I realized that the Kant works are available in their own separate pre-pub:
http://www.logos.com/product/29824/immanuel-kant-collection
And I'm already in on that one. So I do not need to order the Noet Modern Philosophy collection. In fact, it already shows the "Pre-order" button as grey, so I wasn't tempted to order it.
Perhaps you didn't bid on the Kant bundle when it was in CP (which I think it was; I don't seem to have the email about that anymore though). But it's not too late to get it at the pre-pub price.

The button only gets grey if you own everything in the bundle. Logos.com works exactly the same.

So does dynamic pricing still apply and how can you tell the cost if it does?

What disturbed me is that the Logos website had accepted my order ..... I'm not sure how they can handle this kind of situation; but, it was very upsetting .... I perceived that I'd have to order the whole thing again to get the so-called "missing" books ...

I'm a bit confused when I look up Noet and click the link. Unless I'm missing something I have most if not all the resources on the Biblical Greek and yet the price tag seems a bit much. I'm guessing that Noet listings aren't fully linked into Logos. Deliberate or intentional?
I've been working a lot on an upcoming sermon, so maybe it's my own fog level.[8-|]

They probably have not implemented dynamic pricing for these collections, as they are still in pre-pub. You could either (1) wait until it goes live and then purchase it through a sales rep who can give you credit for the titles you already own, or (2) petition Logos to split out part of the collection in to an "upgrade" version of it for people who already own certain books. This might be harder to accomplish since all of those books have been available as one-offs in the past, so the range of possibilities of what books in that collection people have already is very wide. They're not going to make dozens of custom upgrade paths in pre-pub.
On the other hand, because all these titles are available as standalones, you could pick up any that you're missing via the Logos.com website.
mab said:I'm guessing that Noet listings aren't fully linked into Logos.
If you mean that the listings on Noet wouldn't be fully linked into your Logos library if you bought them, yes, they would be, just like the Vyrso ones are. In fact currently the Noet site simply directs you to the Logos site to order the resources. I'm not sure but I'm guessing they will eventually make Noet more of a full-featured site like Vyrso.com where you can purchase books, logging in with your same Logos.com account credentials, and that the Noet site will take into account books you already own through Logos in showing you whether the "Pre-order" button is grey or not. But they might not follow this route, since all the Noet books are clearly still Logos editions (with complete tagging) of interest to Logos's core customers, and thus they aren't going to be pulled off the Logos site and put on Noet only. Not sure if they'll end up duplicating the listings. That would be foolhardy IMHO because it would open them up to discrepancies and site maintenance headaches.

Yes, they will work the same in terms of searching, tagging, linking. However, the tools available for researching the texts will differ depending on which application you use to study them. The Noet mobile app, for example, will feature a "Word Study" tool rather than a "Bible Word Study" tool. As we get closer to the release date of the Noet mobile and web apps, we'll provide more details about how they are the similar/dissimilar to the Logos versions. The general features that you've come to expect of our digital books, however--searching, tagging and linking--will be available whether you read our books in the Logos or Noet versions of the software.

Yes, you're correct. Dynamic pricing is not available for any pre-pub or pre-order product on Logos.com at this time. The Noet bundles were put together and discounted significantly as a promotional offer during Noet's initial launch period, and we recognize the difficult this creates for individuals who purchased parts of the these bundles prior to their being listed. That being said, Rosie's right about the options presented above, except that we haven't broken up the collections that make up the Ancient Philosophy Bundle and Modern Philosophy Bundle yet. Those collections recently come out of community pricing, so you'll have to wait awhile before you can buy the titles in those collections as individual books.

I still can't see it, but maybe it's still making its way from server to server. These web page updates have been known to take their time.[:)]
Also, I don't know if it was you who got overenthusiastic or if it's an older error, but the Loeb Boethius’ Theological Tractates and Consolation of Philosophy (2 vols.) is not included in the collections it's claimed to be included in. That's a whole different edition.

It's actually the same edition. We've resolved this issue for customers who bid on this product while already owning it. I've responded to this issue in detail on this thread: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/73492.aspx?PageIndex=3.

Oops.[:$] You are right. I was confused by a number of things:

- No series name

But it seems I wasn't the only one who was confused, given that it was put it on CP.[:D]

Yes, I apologize for the confusion. We've updated The Medieval Preaching and Spirituality Collection (34 vols.) product page to indicate that the Boethius resource is from the Loeb Classical Library.
