How do you deal with the Perseus collection?

Folks,

I have to admit... As happy as I am about the Perseus collection it had overwhelmed my library. My question is how do you manage this amount of information? Any ideas and suggestions will be welcome.

I use lots of Collections...

Using info posted by MVPs & others (THANK YOU!), I've set up collections for each of the Perseus collections. Why? So I can use "minus" those entire collections from other Biblical research collections wherein I do my weekly sermon & Bible study work...

Many blessings to you!

Harbey,

Check out this page on the Logos wiki for some sample collections of Perseus resources (scroll around a bit as there are a number of them but they are mixed in with others): http://wiki.logos.com/Example_Collections

I have many, many collections which roll up into larger collections. I had done it to make the sections in the Guides very targeted so it is easy to complete an entire section each time I work on a passage. For example, given that I have a number of PB Catechism, I have categories by denominations Baptist, Orthodox, Lutheran, Catholic, Anabaptist ...which I roll up into Anabapist, Reformed, ... which I then roll into ACELO (Anglican, Catholic, Eastern, Lutheran, Orthodox) and non-ACELO. I also divide them by time periods, purpose and official/unofficial. Yes, It takes time to build, but when I run searches and guides it is well worth the time. I also have collections by author that include articles in journals that don't work as well - the whole journal not specific articles are searched - but at least I don't get all bibliographic references to the author. These also roll up by approach (deconstruction, structural, 4 sense, typology...)
