When things on the forums are unsettled (blow up) due to a controversial change, I tend to set back and evaluate my overall satistfaction with the Logos/Verbum experience. Tonight this lead me to think about how much value-added Logos adds to my resources. This led me to recognize that the past few years have added significantly to my use of theology books, sermons, journals etc.
For myself, there are two major investments that still lack sufficient value-added:
- Bible monographs when the book or essays are studies of particular passages. They need some form of "major passage being discussed tagging" to allow us to screen past the myriad of casual references.
- Bible Study Guides which are often mixed in among Bible Commentaries, Bible Notes, and Monographs. They have the same need as Bible monographs for "passage being studied tagging". I would also like to see the questions tagged for relevant passage and, perhaps, a classification of question form. I envision something similar to how sermons are handled where we as users can tag resources (Text Creation Partnership documents / eBooks).
Expanding Logos to handle these would make it truly add value to all the major groups of Bible resources.
