This is scheduled for Tue. 27th (10am PDT). The question I have is...how long will it last?
Thanks David, ordinarily I would be at work at this time but just my luck I have this day off. Interested to see if I'll learn anything new!
Looks like it will be 1 hour according to this.

Will this be re-watchable? Seems odd to have it in the middle of a work day...
To Logos: Please make this webinar available as a download afterwards.
That would be great.

Please make this available for viewing at a later date.
We are using YouTube for this event, so the recording will be available at YouTube.com/LogosBibleSoftware.
OK - I signedup, now how do I watch it?

Yes please!
I apologize for the confusion. We left a checkbox unchecked so our confirmation emails were not being delivered yesterday. We will send you a reminder email with a link the day before.
Thanks RayDeck3; I'm not Floyd, but I'm acknowledging and thanking you for this information. Please ensure that I get the reminder email (with the link) also.
OT: Now that we are on the topic of Webinars and such, it would be nice to have something for Logos (in Logos5) such as that for Verbum (Practicum: Learn to use Verbum).

Yes!!!
My concern is that I won't get the e-mail with link since it would appear that 75% or more of the forums are a hit/miss at this time. I usually get 200 or more emails in the afternoon. Now I am down to about 25 for the entire day.

Sadly, I didn't get a link to view the webinar... and its almost time! Anyone?
i haven't either

I would consider that a huge blessing!

Can't believe they're only accepting questions via email (which can be slow) and not Twitter with a hashtag (more up-to-the-minute and easy for all to follow).
I didn't get a reminder email for this either. It really seems like these kinds of emails are a solved problem in the rest of the internet world, but Logos continues to struggle on this front.
100% agree. #LogosWebinar - great way to get questions easier and perhaps be discovered by its use on Twitter. That won't happen with email.

You don't need the email. As tab posted above, just go to www.logos.com/webinar - it's live right now.
I watched about the first 20 minutes of it. Very well done. This will be available on YouTube.com/LogosBibleSoftware afterwards anyway, so you can see the part you missed.
You don't need the email.
I didn't need the email - I saw how to join. I was only pointing out that there are many people who didn't get the email that Logos said they would send.
The topics in the webinar are very, very basic. I wonder why this webinar does not cover the more advanced features, as the basic features (and some advanced) are already covered in the excellent video series of Mark Barnes.
Seems to me that Logos needs to refer more to these videos. And perhaps support Mark in making more of them, as Mark is a SUPERUSER of Logos.
But, making webinars is a great idea.

Well, I did learn one thing...about how to prioritize a whole set rather than just the single volume--thanks to whoever asked the question, since they weren't going to discuss that otherwise.
I guess it is inevitable that the first of these webinars is a PreK primer. I don't use L5 much, since I am permanently wed to L3, but with the above exception, I knew pretty much everything covered in this. Doing this as a webinar is nifty, but they just need to crank these how-to vids out so that they are available to those needing the info.
Actually, it would probably be more useful to people if rather than having 1 hour videos, they did 1-2 minute videos that cover specific tasks.
I caught the last few minutes of the webinar, hence I'm disqualified from commenting on either the content or quality of it. Since, however, neither the lack of qualifications nor credentials hinder most of us from rendering an opinion.... I'll note that an online meeting provider (MeetingBurner.com for example) provide superior interactivity between the presenter and participants. In fact, it could be argued that emailing questions robs the participants of the benefits of immediacy inherent in the webinar format. Logos' good friend, John Fallahee at learnlogos.com, offers free weekly webinars (in addition to his excellent instructional videos for a fee) that are fabulous; and, I might add, precisely the kind of format that Logos desperately needs to include with our expensive library. Many of us (most of us?) have long offered advice to include some kind of cohesive nose-to-tail instruction with the software without having to pay for Mo Proctor's expensive (and, admittedly, worth every penny) two day seminars. The business model is raged if not outright broken. So! All that to say this: Thanks for beginning the process, but why reinvent the wheel? Mo, John, Mark, et al; are already doing it.... buy them, fund them, include them... make us happy.
The topics in the webinar are very, very basic. I wonder why this webinar does not cover the more advanced features
We'd love to do a wide variety of webinars covering everything from introductory basics to advanced power-use functions. What would you like us to cover next?
What would you like us to cover next?
Syntax Search, both how and why [:D]
I have yet to watch the video, but am getting ready to now. That said, would you include the glories of tagging in a webinar? MIght improve its popularity, and bring its development priority up a touch. Love to see the changes being made, but would like to see a few more things added. Helping people see the utility, and tremendous value of tagging helps us all I think.

Ray, I would like to see a step by step guide to doing a syntax search, (going from the known to the unknown so to speak). I would include the uses of the various visual guides that are available and how to set up the search parameters from those visual guides. I seem to be able to run the examples that are given in the wiki videos, but when I venture out on my own, I come up with less than satisfactory results.
I think this is what Logos should do every month or ..... to support users and make them get the best out of the Software. Thanks
Personally John Fallahee has helped me a lot. Check: www.learnlogos.com
I'd love to see one on Note taking in Logos: the basics (which I know) but also more advanced stuff, best practices, how to organize them in a smart way, how to find stuff in them once you've made them, etc. That's probably the area I'm taking the least advantage of in Logos right now that I would like to be doing more with. Most of my experience is using the feature when it was quite buggy in beta, and I've got tons of junk note files lying around and really no clear direction forward as to how to make better use of the feature.

I have been a Logos user for several years. I enjoyed today's webinar. A lot of it I already knew, but I found several tips that were helpful that I didn't know about.
Thanks.

This would be great. I know the basics but I seldom use notes now but knowing some good strategies probably would help a lot.
I use notes extensively based on advice gleaned on this forum. However, I don't have a firm grasp of when to employ clippings rather than notes. My notes usage case has evolved into a "clippings" use case since I tend to copy the target text directly into the note. My desire was to have readable notes files. Since I can also add my comments to clippings entries the two paradigms blend. Taking notes from my iPad has broken the tie since I can't get to my clippings from there, (At least I wasn't able to last time I looked).
I'd second the suggestions on clippings and searches. I would also second the suggestion that shorter sessions dealing with individual topics would be useful to make up a reference library of videos. Alternatively, it would be nice to make wiki entries with topics indexed by the start times. The Logos user community could provide this.
OK - I signedup, now how do I watch it? I apologize for the confusion. We left a checkbox unchecked so our confirmation emails were not being delivered yesterday. We will send you a reminder email with a link the day before.
In spite of signing up, I never received information on how to watch this. I left home this AM forgetting all about it. So now, where will I find it on YouTube?
Yes, yes! [<:o)] I think this would built on today's webinar. We know how to organize our libraries better, now let's learn how to take notes better!

So now, where will I find it on YouTube?
I too forgot all about it [got no reminder or link] so went here
https://www.logos.com/webinar
and it eventually loaded.
I could tell that it was todays from his Home Screen display.
[There was quite a "lag" time at the beginning. Try to experiment mouse or drag over until about 21 minutes in ?]
I too forgot all about it [got no reminder or link] so went here https://www.logos.com/webinar
Thanks - found the one hour webinar. The audio (with introduction) starts at 18:58 into the presentation.

It's not up yet, but I presume they have to do some editing first for to prepare it for posting, get rid of any glitches, dead air, whatever. And they'll likely need to set up a new channel for webinars under their YouTube account. So watch this space over the coming days: https://www.youtube.com/user/LogosBibleSoftware. Hopefully it will be up there soon, and someone can post a link in this thread about it once they see it there.

I echo the suggestions of posts prior that there would be more webinars/tutorial videos on ways to make better use of notes and clippings.
I found today's webinar to be informative, and I learned a couple new tricks and shortcuts for using L5. Thank you, Logos!
B[:#]ought John Fallahee's package about a year ago. Nothing new here and I don't need notes, clippings, or syntax searches. Not sure what I need now.
Increasing the length of the webinars to 1.5 or 2.0 hours and adding multiple webinars, labeling them Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced would be a good addition. On this webinar, it seems like the presenter was a bit stretched for time.
