What would you say is the best tool for reading monograph.
Notes Tool and why?
Clippings and why?
Hi Lukas —
It comes down to personal preference and what you are using the notes or clippings for. I use highlights/notes when I want to see something in context. I highlight using a color of preference for the type of highlight so that they stand out in my notebooks (yellow for monographs, green for Bible, etc.). Then if I make a note, I will also put my own searchable inline tag, though you can use Logos tags for this. My current inline tags are: .insight .concept .claim .? .zettle .quote. The reason I use inline tags is that I export these highlights and notes to Capacities to combine them with Kindle, Snipd and other highlights from Readwise. The inline tag is universal in all services that I use, so I can do global searches in my exported highlights regardless of which platform they came from.
I use clippings when I want to build quotes with ready-made citations that I plan to use in my writing. (papers, talks, posts) I do this when I need clear quotations with page refs. I don't use them so much now that I am not engaged in formal studies. I think of clippings like the old-style note cards we used to use in University. When I used them to write papers, I would export all my clippings to DevonThink, along with other books I had been reading, and then I would start building my papers from these cards. In this use case, clippings were better than highlights for more formal outputs.
Experiment and play with both… I personally would love it if Logos would allow us to sync highlights to Readwise like Kindle does, but for now, it is a manual operation for me.
Hello, I am curious why the resource count on my Desktop app and the Web app is different. I checked my library on my desktop, and all the resources seemed to have been downloaded. However, the Web App is showing a higher number. Do you have any ideas?
How would I share a layout that I created with another Logos user?
I was a previous owner of Verbum 10 and now am a pro subscriber. It feels like there is a lot missing from my library. I just searched for Jesus of Nazareth by Ratzinger and it did not appear in my library. But when I search in the store, it is in the Verbum 5 legacy library which I should own from my prior prior purchase.…
How can AI be used to search our own libraries in more detail?
When I enter the question Why does James think prayer is for all Christians? the Study Assistant advises me that the search was constrained to sources authored by James - even though this doesn't seem to be the case. This doesn't seem quite right - is there some refinement needed to how its algorithms are working? As far…
