Wolfgang,

Look on the Bookshelf dialog near the Add button and you will see a 
green arrow button. This will download the Works information from the 
current source and you will then see the Works that can be installed. 
This dialog does not automatically refresh this information because of 
the possibility you are in a country that persecutes christians.
