No links to other rsources?
I just downloaded the book Powell, Mark Allan. Introducing the New Testament: A Historical, Literary, and Theological Survey. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2009. Maybe I just hit an unlucky link or two, but it appears the "For Further Reading" sections do NOT link to resources in our libraries! As in the example below, clicking on a link just brings up the citation box.
Isn't this one of the big values of Logos?
Here is an example:

Logos says that the current policy is to link specific references (i.e. pages) and not general references to books. However they seem to have understood that many users expect more.
Have joy in the Lord!

Yes, I hope eventually links will also be provided for general references to books.

Hi Don. What's the release info (0000-00-00T00:00:00Z) for this? Maybe that will explain why there's no links to other resources.0

I've communicated the concerns in this situation to the appropriate people.

If the geniuses at Logos can program a "Cited By" tool, surely a solution is not far away. [*]

Can anyone tell the support info for this resource to confirm my theory?0

Yeap Don. But "John: Storyteller, Interpreter, Evangelist" (2013-03-01) you said it wasn't pointed to was released AFTER this was done (2012-11-01). So we can't have links to newer resources in an older file. Only IF Logos will update them nowadays.0

The resource links in these resources are "bibliographic" links, not hard-coded resource links. (This is the default type of link we create if the book is just being cited in general, and it's not a link to a specific page or section.)
Currently, the bibliographic link just displays bibliographic citation information in a popup. However, we are building the technology to identify the resource in your library that a citation refers to. Once this is finished, the resource link will "automagically" become a link to that resource (if you have it unlocked and downloaded). This will happen without having to download an update the older resource.
Sorry, I don't know when this will be available.
