bug: mobile ed BI101 resource linking...

when going through the courseware and following along with the video's for the resources mentioned as part of the class, Segment 22: Using reference Works to Study Ancient Background Context - at about 2 minutes in there is reference to Archeological Encyclopedia of the Holy Land. i thought that it was interesting that this resource was not linked, though he clearly has it in his library. I searched Logos for this resource, as it is something that I thought I had, but did not show up in my library (cut/pasted the title).

What I discovered is that the spelling is different. I do have the resource, but it is spelled differently: archaeological, not archeological. I assume this is also why it didn't get hyperlinked in the course material. It is my opinion that this is a bug and needs fixed.

continuing my class:

another one in segment 24. references the NBD (New Bible Dictionary), but not hyperlinked to "The New Bible Dictionary". though when you get to the word plants as mentioned in the video, it is linked to the article.

further, there is also mention of a book called Plants in the Bible. no hyperlink, but the book "The Plants in the Bible" is listed. (academic monograph example)

segment 29 has a listing of various commentaries for example, none are hyperlinked. more in segment 30. I assume at this point I shouldnt need to list specific ocurrances? or do I need to cite them specifically?

Thanks Brent,

It has not been our practice to tag generic references to an entire resource in either footnotes or the main body of a text. It's possible this hasn't been applied consistently throughout our library. However, as a practice, we do not tag them.

It sounds like it is something that is desired (at the very least by you). We will take it under advisement as we continue to re-evaluate our resource production standards.

Thanks,

Kyle

It is desired, as i go through the course, and want to follow along as the instructor walks through the examples. Also as mentioned, the class seems to have the links very consistently up to this point, then seems to fall off (with the exception of scripture references) - so in total, not very consistent.
