Is there a way I can view resources on verbum.com that I do not own?
If you couldn't find a way (and it would be obvious!) then there is logos.com book previews and the books.logos.com section in Everything Search (Logos 6).
I am not a master of HTML syntax. In the logos and Vyrso stores you can use syntax such as:
https://vyrso.com/products/search?q=price%3A%5B0+TO+7.99%5D+-title%3Asampler&unlocked=no&start=&sort=pricelo&pageSize=60
I know it may be hard to read, but notice that it says: "unlocked=no". That helps you to search for unowned resources. I tried adding that to the Verbum site with no success... Which means either I contructed it incorrectly (a strong possibility), OR the verbum store is unable to use that syntax. Here is what the browse all items looks like in verbum:
https://verbum.com/search?facets=Religious%20Group_Catholic
The "facets" is new to me. I think the verbum store is just a special view of the logos one, showing resources tagged as "catholic." I was able to see non-verbum resources in the verbum store by changing the syntax. It may be that the view of "facets" is incompatible with "unlocked=no," but someone smarter than I will need to chime in. Sorry! [:s]
I think this thread might be better in the logos.com forum... It may be moved there later.
No. Verbum.com does not support that syntax currently. It is something we hope to add (and expose more clearly than a secret URL), but for now we have simply grayed out the buttons on items you own.
Additionally, if you want to see what's "new to you" in our Verbum libraries, you can visit Verbum.com/recommend and view a customized list.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the responses. One follow--up question ...
Thinking about Alabama's approach, I can still get to the Catholic products from the the catalog on the Logos web pages. Are the resources displayed in the Verbum web pages the same as those from the Logos web pages?
Yes, Steve, they are

Good try Alex[:)]. When I click on the link, it gives me an access denied message. If I copy and paste it suggests Verbum Esencial Bilingüe which lacks one essential resource - Spanish language lessons[;)] So maybe if you allowed me to choose the second language ... Tamil, Newari, ....

Fixed the link so it won't give the access denied message. I don't think I can do anything about the language offerings, though. [:)]
