Ability to list all books referenced in a book e.g. The Faithlife Study Bible

There was an error rendering this rich post.

See Resource Collection Unlocking All Linked FSB Resources? — Logos Community for inspiration.

Give us the ability to see a list of all books/resources referenced by The Faithlife Study Bible and the ability to indicate if the resource is owned; if the resource is electronic or paper; if a different edition is owned. Where applicable, add a link to unowned resources available in Logos.

Other system resources such as the Lexham Survey of Theology, Lexham Methods series, and the various manuals and glossaries supporting the tools should have similar lists of books.

Updates should preserve the ownership data.

This should allow us to target our purchases in a way that helps us to learn to use Logos more effectively. It should also guide us towards reading the information already in our library to minimize our misunderstanding/abuse of the data.

Note: For research it would be useful to be able to do this for any Logos book but that is not my suggestion because I don't believe the required data infrastructure is there yet.

That would be awesome. But as stated in multiple occasions (e.g. here and here), a lot of (mainly German) resources aren't linked with other works available in Logos.

This suggestion encourages sales and builds our knowledge base. I am in support.

@MJ. Smith, would you mind clarifying this part?

It should also guide us towards reading the information already in our library to minimize our misunderstanding/abuse of the data.

Sorry, I wasn't able to understand that bit. What does an abuse or misunderstanding of the data look like? As far as guiding us to information already in our libraries, does that mean linking more commonly owned resources? Or individualized links that depend on what is already in our libraries, on a per-user basis? (I might just be misunderstanding since I'm sort of a novice here.)

The most common example in the forums is assuming that the morphological category nominative is the same as the grammatical category subject is the same as the semantic role of agent. So, they search on nominative and use the results as if they searched on agent. In other words, anything that brings explanatory material to our attention helps combat misunderstanding/abuse. Not mentioned was that it also helps us be skeptical of Logos coding - in a good way. An example of why skepticism is required came up in the forums today:

Multiple Tab views on Desktop, like on mobile
I really appreciate how the Logos mobile app lets me swipe between tabs and seamlessly pick up where I left off. I often read and take notes on my phone, and when I reopen the app, everything is just as I left it—even when I switch between multiple resources.

AI Search Capability
I just want to say, this was the one reason why I stopped using Logos so much; because the search function did not have the power or versatility to answer questions like "Where does Paul talk about teach sound doctrine and only through God's Word." It could not do that. I could type that into Google and add "Bible Hub,…
Add Search Field to New Tab Interface
If this has already been suggested, I apologize. When pressing Command-T to open a new tab, it would be incredibly helpful if that tab included a search field—similar to a browser’s address bar—allowing me to immediately type the name of a book from my library. Pressing Enter would then open the selected resource directly…
