No Page Numbers: Very Frustrating

I have come across several books now that have no page number index. The most recent on is the New Dictionary of Biblicaly Theology. What is the point of having a book such as this for research if there is no way to reference it? Very disappointing Logos, very disappointing. Isn't this the reason we hear that it costs so much to have these books in Logos, all the extra tagging and such? Sorry for the less than charitable tone, its just frustrating.

This is a rather old resource that was produced before page number indexing was standard. It was published in electronic format by Nelson for Logos.

There are many resources like this that remain untagged for page numbers. Logos is going back to these and tagging them for page numbers a bit at a time. I'm not sure if this would be a task Logos would take up, or if that task would be assigned to Nelson.

As far as using a resource like this for research papers, check with the standards for your institution. Most standards (Turabian, Chicago Manual, etc.) have protocols for citing from electronic works that do not have page numbers.

Thank you for the explanation, I should have checked into all of that before my rant.
