In the MBD dropdown - 1) what populates the long list there? 2) what causes the listed items to be CHECKED?
1) what populates the long list there?
These are collections, tags, books from your library - so things that could potentially be added to the display
what causes the listed items to be CHECKED?
we do that when we add individual books (or collections etc) to the display.
Just adding for anyone else:
- The little arrowed dropdown for series, lets you select specific volumes in a set. This is handy where the tool may display two commentaries that overlap in their introduction (eg Joshua and Judges), or a new edition.
- If you use instead tags (like me), you don't get the dropdown. But the tags or collections allow going well beyond a resource type, like commentaries. I have quite a few single volume monographs that have Bible indices in sections.
- The 'singles' listing (below Collections and Tags/Ratings) have the same index as the leader (eg 'Bible'). This is handy where you want to know which of your books are linkable. As an example, opening Abegg's DSS Sectarian, and then checking the MultiBook list, shows your other books that match up for that index (using Abegg, I have 19 with the same index, most I didn't realize). If instead, you click on the Parallel books button (resource menu bar), it shows which match to the reference you are at (in Abegg, I have 4, for 4Q254).
Thanks GC
Thanks DMB. That is very helfpul and gives me a lot of basis for my research studies. Logos has always worked well in this area.
