Announcement: forum participant project (unofficial)

http://topics.logos.com/Web_resources

This is a new reading list available to you within Logos that gives links to useful sites on the web. I've included some entries from a variety of people and threads on the forums. I would very much like people to update it with the sites they find useful. If you are not comfortable updating the reading list, add your entries in this thread and I will add them to the reading list for you.

If you think this is a dumb idea, feel free to offer other suggestions.

I like this - already added one resource - "wesley.nnu.edu", some Bible Study tools, and one section on "Hymnology". Am I following through with your ideas? I have some more I could add, but want to make sure I am not missing your point. Thank you for any feedback.

Floyd, you are absolutely on target. These are resources many would like to have quick access to.

Great Idea! I added the cyberhymnal.

Excellent project Martha.

Added Jewish Encyclopedia.

Thank you for posting the reading list. I like a ton! Since I'm not sure how to add (new user) I'll just post here and you can determine if it makes sense or not to add to the list. First suggestion: http://www.papalencyclicals.net/ (although, can get from vatican.va)... might be considered redundant.

Thanks!

- Michael

I will add them as they are posted here. Later I'll show you how to do it yourself[:)]

I have added the following text to the reading list:

This list of resources is maintained by all Logos users who wish to
be involved. Note that the original sequence is alphabetical by topic
and random within topic. Feel free to add and subdivide topics. To
access this list within Logos:

open “reading list” from the library section of the tool menu
select "all lists" to open the search window
search for “web resources” in the reading list panel
this reading list should appear; clicking on the links will open the appropriate web site

Okay its far enough along to show people where I am headed. In real life I would have these as two tabs in one pane. The reading list gives me quick access to information that we think will be helpful to many of us - our shared resources. The favorites list as I have used it gives me quick access to the web sites or documents on my computer or Logos resources/tools that are specific to me. Put them together and we've created a very powerful add-on to Logos.

Now if we had the library grouped by collections to fit in the same pane size we could add a third tab and have the ultimate resource pane!

I have added the following text to the reading list:

Are you sure you aren't intruding on the time you need to feed your cat ? [:)] You're one busy lady. We appreciate your work (or at least I do).

Great idea. I can't believe no-one's mentioned http://www.biblicalstudies.org.uk/articles.php yet - it's one of the best sites for biblical studies journals on the web.

Thanks for starting this MJ. I added a few sources related to Aramaic, Syriac Christianity, and Church History.

Something that was recommended to me several years ago as a free and useful resource is http://www.soniclight.com/. Dr Thomas Constable (I have no idea who he is!!) has published PDFs of his lecture notes on every book of the BIble. Has anyone come across this before? Any thoughts?

Great idea, great work, MJ!

Some ideas/suggestions:

• It would be useful with a TOC at the top, in order to get an overview (especially when the list grows).

• A section for [not-yet-in-Logos] Bibles. Or if there already is a separate reading list for those, a link to that might suffice.

• Sections for Archaeology, Calendars, and Journals.

• I find the Manuscripts, apocrypha, early church writings section somewhat confusing. It seems to compete with Christian classics among others. Also, is alphabetical really the best solution? I find myself scrolling up and down, up and down to check if a link that's not included under one heading might be included under another at the other end. What would you think of something like this:

General
1. Web link collections
2. Logos sites
3. Language resources
4. Encyclopedias
5. Journals
6. Maps, charts and diagrams
History
1. Archaeology
2. General history
3. Jewish history
4. Church history
Texts
1. Bibles
2. Ancient documents
3. Jewish writings
4. Pre-Reformation Christian writings
5. Post-Reformation Christian writings
Theology & Philosophy
1. Bible studies
2. General theology
3. Interfaith relations
4. Philosophy
Worship
1. Calendars
2. Lectionaries
3. Prayers
4. Hymns
5. Saints

• Some more links:

The Online Books Page. Very useful to locate Public Domain books that are available online somewhere.
Documents and Statements relating to Christian-Jewish Understanding. Comprehensive and ecumenical list.
Hebrew University's Jewish History Resource Center (new site) (older site (not yet fully transferred)). This place is a goldmine! They have 120 links just for timelines. 50 to various map sites, 219 for bibliographies, 434 relating to Medieval Jewish History, and so on. And that's before everything's transferred from the old site. (ADDED LATER: I now see that you have already included the [old version of] the medieval page, but not the rest, as far as I can find.)
Catechism of the Catholic Church
Code of Canon Law
The older Catholic Encyclopedia.
Dictionary of the Targumim, the Talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic Literature (while we wait for Logos to ship it...)
Archaeowiki.org
Online Bible Commentaries (Church Fathers and Doctors)
iTanakh

Does anyone have a good link for a Jewish/Gregorian/Julian calendar converter? I've got one, but I'd rather not link to it because I don't like the rest of the site.

Also, is alphabetical really the best solution?

Nope - but it was the best place to start until I knew what sort of resources people would add. I like your organization and we'll try it and see how it works.

I've reorganized the reading list but I haven't yet checked that I put every entry in the right category. I'll add the new items and check the list later.
