FYI Suggestions when asked for a sample of resource

Philana Crouch

Dear Fellow Logos Users,

Often we are asked to post portions of say articles from a dictionary or encyclopedia so people can get a flavor of a resource. This aides them in purchasing decisions. In some cases they can be very long. If you have a free Evernote account we are able to share a link to a note (the person clicking the link does not gain access to any of your account, notes act.) merely the specific note. This would allow users to share the info requested, but not clutter the forum itself with long posts.

You can see a recent example of this here.

I have used this ability to share notes on Facebook and Twitter and it works very well in posting longer info on Facebook. I thought it might also be useful on the Logos Forums.

Blessings in Christ,

Philana

That's a great idea! I have an Evernote account. Another benefit of this method of sharing is that the general public will not be able to find it in a Google search (unless they happen to find the Logos forum first and follow the link from there; but still it's more protected than if it were just out there anywhere on the open web, which I'm sure the copyright holders would appreciate; for helping someone make a purchase decision, it seems like a "fair use" usage, but no need to publicize it more widely than necessary).
