Factbook major flaw
I went to the Factbook for the Mesha inscription/Moabite stone. It had lots of good links to everything except the actual text, which I own in a) the Context of Scripture 2.23 b) Hebrew and Canaanite Inscriptions c) Pritchard's Ancient Near Eastern Texts d) Hidden Riches: A Sourcebook for the Comparative Study of the Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near East and e) Inscriptions from the World of the Bible: A Reader and Introduction to Old Northwest Semitic.
It seems like the Factbook needs a new section linking to the actual TEXT of the thing sought, and there are plenty to link to. Going off Factbook, one would not know I own the translation/commentary/original text anywhere, whereas I have it in five different books.
Edit: Seems related to my need expressed here about collating various inscriptions and non-biblical texts. https://community.logos.com/forums/p/215205/1297228.aspx

This is an area we're currently exploring. It's a known major flaw and we're in the process of working out potential solutions.
