Please some one explain Zotero to me and its benefits in using L4 Thanks
Zotero is a research tool that can also be used for keeping track of your personal library. It doesn't work for a library where you loan books out (at least not well) but does an adequate job of helping you keep track of books, articles, PDFs, and so on. I exported all my Logos4 books into Zotero so now if I need to know if I have something, I just open up Zotero and do a quick search. I also have all my print books in there which helps avoid duplicate resources. You can add books by ISBN or going to Amazon and clicking a button or even manually entering the data. I find it to be a great tool for writing research papers (since it does the formatting for you) and really complements Logos well.

Peace to you, Daniel. Zotero looks like it might be helpful to me. However, I do not use Firefox. Will it work with other browsers?
Only Firefox at this point, unfortunately. Which admittedly has its occasional issues (slowness, memory usage) but that is improving over time. You could just install Firefox to use Zotero and then do the rest of your browsing with a different program.
i have ie and firfox. is there a conflict by having both? will one bother the other
Thank you! *smile* Appreciate your response.
No, they should be fine with both installed. I have that setup currently. It's like having multiples of any other programs installed, like OpenOffice and Microsoft Office. The only conflict is which is set to 'default' (ie if you click a link in your email what will it open in) - and both IE and Firefox will usually ask you when you open them up "should I be the default?"
OK so I just signed up and tried Zotero. I did the export from Logos 4 as stated in the recent blog, and imported it in. The export file is about 1/6th the number of resources I have. Is this correct?: I am trying to see some sort of pattern but I have not found it yet. Are Commentary sets reported as just one book?
Weird - I ran it again and I have all but 40 resources, by count, in the export file. Not sure what is missing. Apparently Export bibliography runs kinda silently, you don't really know when it is done? I may have closed down L4 too fast the first time.
This time I did it twice and waited, got the same number - 40 resource light. I wonder ehy?
