These are abbreviations for books that are not in my Logos Library but where do I find what they are?
Hi TIm
But as to find this out without having them in your library, that's a different question!
Where did you find the abbreviations? If one another Logos resource I would have expected the abbreviations to be expanded in that resource
Graham
Graham, they are referenced in the Faithlife Study Bible notes. I have Logos 5 Platinum and most of the documents referenced in Faithlife are not in my Logos library.
How did you find the abbreviations? Or did you just know/guess?
They have been referenced by these abbreviations in different threads in the forums. I also have both which made things slightly easier.

That should provide a mechanism for you to determine them.
If you click on the link just before the abbreviation this is intended to open the resource. If you don't have the resource then you will get a message telling you this and a preview of the resource will open including the title page which will tell you what the book is. (This is a new feature in L5)
So, in the example below, I clicked on the like to AYBD in "Virtue/Vice Lists" in the right-hand panel. I don't have AYBD and the preview of the resource opened up on the left
Hope this helps
I have Logos 5 Platinum
Then this is the most easy thing, since Logos introduced a "sneak preview" of non-owned resources into L5.
If you try to access the locked resource (in my screenshot the BEB, see blue marks), the usual window "you don't have a licence to view this resource" appears, which typically - under L4 for Windows, but not for Mac - shows a more meaningful abbreviated Logos resource name and allows a click to the product page on Logos.com (worked most often). Under L5, Logos opens a preview version of the resource (yellow)
Perfect. I didn't even think to look at it in Logos, I was just on the Faithlife app on my iPad.
This is a shortcoming of the FSB in my opinion. Lot's of resources are referenced that MOST FSB users do not own (assumption).

I guess another way of looking at it is that a combination of the FSB study notes and the free Lexham Bible Dictionary then a lot of information is provided. Yes, for more in depth information there are links to resources which many of the Logos-identified target market will not initially own.
But this does give them the option to buy specific resources which have been selected by Logos as providing useful information for the subject at hand. Also, in general, buying one resource will open up a lot of articles in one go. So buying ISBE, for example, would suddenly really broaden / deepen the number of unlocked articles.
Yes, it is a mechanism to increase Logos sales, but what else should they do to provide augmented information behind what is otherwise a free resource (at least at the moment)?
