Collecting citations to look up in theology library?

New member of the Logos 8 Notes fan club!!!  And loving the lightning speed!!!  Really lowers the threshold to get right into my study.

I often find citations to books that aren't available in Logos, and that I would like to look up for more information.  Fortunately, I live near an excellent theology school library.  Typically, I create a Word doc that I keep pinned and easy to find, to which I copy these citations, collecting them until I make my next trip to the library.

I was thinking I might be able to accomplish the same goal within now-zippy Logos using the new Notes Tool, with its faceting--maybe create a special highlight style (once highlight style/palette faceting is implemented) or create notes with a special label or tagged for a special notebook.

But it looks like none of these options are available in resource footnotes, where most of these citations reside.  Any suggestions?

    If you have the Power Lookup tool open, Footnotes appear there and are copyable.

    You could copy them from there, add a note into a particular notebook and paste the details.

    Not perfect but it might give you what you want.

    Thanks for thinking about this, Graham.  I'm generally able to copy text in the footnotes themselves, so for me copy-and-paste to Word may still be my best option.
