Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: Excerpt Tool - Logos Forums

Facilitate Serendipitous Discovery

FSD opens a random resource to a random location. Optionally can specify collection.

  • Facilitate Serendipitous Discovery
  • Facilitate Serendipitous Discovery in {Collection}
  • FSD
  • FSD in {Collection}

This morning the FSD command produced the following; note I used hover to display basic resource information.

An example of limiting fsd to a specific collection

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
