TIP of the day: Why one dead tree book becomes > one Logos resource
The resource I am using for illustration is: Robinson, J. Armitage, ed. Coptic Apocryphal Gospels. Translated by Forbes Robinson. No. 2. Vol. 4. Texts and Studies: Contributions to Biblical and Patristic Literature. Cambridge: Cambridge at the University Press, 1896. It has an imperfect implementation which I have already complained to Faithlife about via a suggestion forum post.
1. Using WorldCat I convince myself that this is a single volume resource.
2. But when I look in my Logos library I see two resources which vary only by language ... okay, so the didn't get the language right but Faithlife tried.
3. Hmm, when I compare the Table of Contents between the two, I see one appears to be a subset of the other.
4. But I don't see any difference in their Information panel ... thought maybe indexing or ...
5. Ah, if I look at the paper copy I see the book was designed for facing pages to relate. Logos implemented this by making the facing pages different resources. Having seen the behavior of multi-column text in Schaff's Early Church Fathers, this seems like a good thing ...
6. So I place them side by side. Okay, first I thought multi-view panel but that isn't an option. So I thought linked set ... but the page numbers are adjacent not matching so that doesn't work ... so I make a suggestion to Faithlife that they make it work.
7. So I settle for the best behavior being putting both resources in page mode, hide the TOC for the right page ... and pretend I've got the facing pages of the original.
