Cheapest and best way

Paul Kozar

By accident i found the cheapest and best way to have the ultimate resources at my figure tips.  I took a class this past fall at the local university, and found out that I had full access to the entire Texas university system of journals and books in the whole state.  Meaning, that for $30 (price of admission)  a year I have internet access to just about every theological journal ever published (and downloads) and a vast electronic library of over 50,000 theological books.  Plus, it is all search-able through the search engines of the library.

Yeah, but you have to live in Texas to get that price, don't you?

I too have access to all the e-journals that the UBC library and Regent College Library give us access to by continuing to audit a course at Regent every year. And I can search them on the web, so that's nice. But it would be even cooler to be able to search from within Logos -- find, say, all journal articles that discuss a certain Bible passage. You can't do that in the web search engines! Because they aren't smart enough to know the syntax of Bible references -- you can only search for them as plain text. If it doesn't match your search term exactly it won't find the hit.  Logos is smart enough to know that a search for Matthew 7:7 will find any hits that refer to verse ranges that include that verse, even if they don't mention that specific verse with that reference (e.g., an article on the Sermon on the Mount that talks in general terms about Matt 5-7 might still be interesting to me).
