I new to this. Maybe I'm in wrong place to post a question concerning a issue I'm trying to resolve, but maybe not.
Is it possible to include just an article from a journal to a collection?
Hi Ralph. Welcome to the forums.
As far as I'm aware, it's not possible to include a specific journal article in a collection as collections work by organising entire volumes in your library (as opposed to parts of volumes).
Your could consider using the "Favourites" option. You could create a folder within the favourites menu to organise your "collection" of journal articles, then navigate to the starting page of each journal article you want to organise, then create a favourite and add it to your relevant favourites folder. In the future, you could navigate to each journal article by going to your favourites folder and clicking on the link to the article you want to read.
You can find more information here: http://wiki.logos.com/Favorites
(Using the favourites will only allow you to navigate to your journal articles quickly. Unlike a proper collection, it won't allow you to limit a search to your journal articles.)
I have used the Favorites tool to do this as Paul suggests. I have also used a note file to gather links to articles together. As with Favorites you cannot search the articles this way. A Basic Search will search your note files (found under the My Content section of the Search report), so if you include some key words in your note file it would find those. Unfortunately at this point hits in a note file are not highlighted and you cannot navigate to them as hits in a resource, so searching would be of very limited use, but it's possible.
Thank you very much, Paul-C. This will work just fine for what I am doing right now. Again, thanks.
Hopefully this is something Logos will work on for a future release. To be a legitimate research tool, the ability to use specific articles like they were individual resources would be critical. Having an entire journal in a collection will work, but it makes things unduly difficult at times.
In the mean time, others have given the best solution I know of.
