Eisenbrauns absence.

That's from selecting Eisenbrauns from a Eisenbrauns product page.

Maybe they're renegotiating, since the product pages (from Googling) are still intact. Just no-buy.

Unsettling is right. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yikes! Glad i have not waited to purchase those titles (mostly) I wanted. FL needs to keep those academic publishers. They bring a different crowd of purchasers

I'm not so lucky.  So I guess 'wait and see'.

Hi all,

Last year, Penn State University Press (the owners of Eisenbrauns) made the decision to remove their content from the platform. We certainly hope to be able to offer the content on the platform again in the future.

God is optimistic for time is his servant. We on the other hand are at its mercy. I hope things change soon.

With the decision Eisenbrauns has taken to remove their content from Logos, one of the saddest losses will be some of their language resources, such as Mark Futato's "Beginning Biblical Hebrew".

Agreed. In addition to beginning grammars, they offer many good works on aspects of Hebrew that will not be replaced. Plus, their language texts on Akkadian, Hittite, Ugaritic, etc., are even harder to replace. (Full disclosure: I won't spend sleepless nights wondering where my next volume of Hittite grammar will come from.) Plus, some narrative works (like Adele Berlin's Poetics and Interpretation of Biblical Narrative) are seminal and cannot be replaced.

So to answer Armando Javier Arteaga Unigarro's question, sometimes we can't go anywhere else. [:'(]

It is a shame that Eisenbrauns has pulled their resources from Logos. There is some really good stuff they had in Logos that will sorely be missed!

I hope Logos can offer some additional explanation on what happened and if there’s any chance of them getting back such resources.

In the meantime, I see some Eisenbrauns stuff listed on Accordance’s website. I’m not sure about Olive Tree since it’s been a while since I’ve used their app. It’s always painful when a publisher pulls their resources. I remember it all too well with Moody Press when that happened a while back.

I am curious as to why a publisher would choose to remove their products from the platform. Clearly they must have some rationale for choosing to close a revenue stream. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Slick. 😂 But I think the forum guideline to not "promote.. competitors" probably still applies if you work for one 

I’m just answering the original poster’s question. [:)]

For any titles that you have already purchased, this does not affect your ability to view and use the content, whether via our web apps, mobile, desktop, etc. However, anyone interested in purchasing additional Eisenbrauns/Penn State University Press content will not be able to do so at this time.

In the future, is it possible that Faithlife can alert customers when a publisher decides they will be leaving the platform?  I’d guess they don’t pull their content “effective immediately” in a situation like that, so it would be great to have some notice they are leaving so we can pull the trigger on anything we want to grab before they leave.

Bumping this up again in hopes of a reply from Daniel Motley.

I just noticed Eisenbrauns was gone as well, since I just noticed the resources in my library were very scholarly I was looking for more from them and there was nothing.

Given the nature of these agreements and exchanges, it isn't possible to inform users ahead of time of any changes. That being said, this was certainly not a usual circumstance. In most cases, a book comes off our platform simply because the publishing house no longer wants to offer it anywhere (think first edition vs second edition). Our goal is to offer as much content as we can on our platform for users and we know changes like this are disappointing.

I noticed the product pages are now gone. Does that mean you weren't able to get them to come back?

I agree with others that Logos should make a push to get as many academic, scholarly publishers as possible. 

I suspect we are (rightly) unlikely to hear about ongoing negotiations.

If all communication breaks down, then perhaps we will get something with finality eventually.

Until then no news is good news.

Its possible Accordance offered them more money for an exclusive contract or something along those lines banking on original language students everywhere making purchases within accordance out of necessity. If that is what they did, they probably aren't wrong.

My speculation was more along the lines of Penn State as a state institution was concerned with relationships with religious organizations which, on the surface, Faithlife would appear to at least need careful review.

that makes sense. Faithlife has built into its name certain elements of religion that something like "accordance" does not.

That's enough reason for optimism!
