Oliver, in my library, it is an included dataset. That explains why I cannot add / buy it. But knowing what the literary datatypes are and how to use them would be nice. That is, some sort of instruction. I THINK I checked the help out to no avail. John Fallahee in his LearnLogos 7 says that it will be covered.
