Missing Hyperlink.

My thought is:  Shouldn't that happen? (It is the main selling point of Logos)  Both resources have been around for over 6 years.  

I agree that the work is endless, and tedious.  And I appreciate the updates.   However, as a/the main selling point of the software, why has it taken 6 years for this one to be updated?  The burden/responsibility is on Logos to deliver quality in this regard in their software.  If I can't link it, I have to highlight, search and then find it on my own.  The question then becomes, why do I need Logos?

The link for 1 Peter 3:1 actually links to Colossians 3:1 

In a book released this PAST MONTH:

From Heave He Came and Sought Her, page 599.  The author cites John Piper's work that is available in Logos and there is no hyperlink.

"Piper, Let the Nations Be Glad, 118, citing Crockett and Sigountos, Through No Fault of Their Own, 260."  (Page number has no hyperlink.)

Thanks for repsonding Kyle:

1.  I posted here precisely because of the volume of errors and the variety of resources they are in.  I simply cannot report a typo in every instance I find them.  There are too many of them.  Furthermore, I have yet to see a typo I report be updated in a work.  

2.  The "quality" in your QC process should be revised.  I don't know what you consider to be an acceptable number of missing hyperlinks.  However, when I pay $30+ for a book in Logos that I ALREADY have in Kindle for $3, none is about the right number for me.  

3.Again, the issue is that this is a flagship feature for Logos, there needs to be a better QA system and a quicker turn around on updates.  

4.  While I have no idea on what Logos makes on its software and the state of the finances and fully embrace that disclaimer.  It would seem to me that with the addition of so many other avenues Faithlife is pursuing (Dating website???) Employing a couple of employees to scan these works and continue to improve your/our software and its efficiency would be very well spent.

No Hyperlink to volume that is available in Logos.

I'll take updating Notes and Outlines under consideration.

What does this mean?  You will add it to a list of resources that need to be updated?  There is a possibility that now you are aware of no hyperlinks in the resource you will not correct them? Will some resources never be updated?  How do you determine where on a list that resources get placed to be updated?

My hope is that Logos will begin to see that the need for better QA intially and continuing improvement of their products is blatantly apparent. 

From John Piper's Desiring God:  pg 11, footnote 1:  Missing hyperlinks to Piper's other cited works.

I did reply to that. I referenced this thread as well.  In response to your question, I am not opposed to it, I believe, however, that the responsibility, moral and actual, resides squarely on Logos and their failure to correct these mistakes in a timely manner is unacceptable.

From "The Hardest Sermons You'll Ever Have to Peach" by Chapell

pg 15, footnote 1:  Stott's book does not hyperlink.  

I know the reason for this is that you acquired Stott after this was already in Logos's catalog. However, Logos MUST maintain these books.  

Again, I post these here so to motivate Logos to retroactively update these works.  When Stott was released, why was there not a search done for when he was referenced? And then those citations updated?  This is a huge ball (perhaps the biggest that there can be) that Logos is dropping.  My posts in this topic are not to humiliate or denigrate the software.  Thirteen years and $6,000+ has shown my loyalty.  However, the quality and integrity of Logos and its software suffers because this is not done.

MJ,

I would argue that they require the skills and effort to tag.  Specific or no, they should be done.

From Boice's The Gospel of John, Volume 4: Peace in Storm (John 13–17): An Expositional Commentary, page John 15:18-25, footnote 1:  No hyperlink to Barclay's commentary.

My main point for putting them into this thread is the sheer frequency that I find them and that Logos does not have a timely schedule or a publication of changes made.  My earlier comments reference why I feel I have to do this to get something done.

As for Boice updates, thank you!  I am glad to hear that is happening.

Everett, please remember, however, that I also have resources lacking tagging and that my priorities are much different than yours e.g. insuring that all resources are coded to include the broader canons.

I would say your resources are just as important as mine or anyone else's.  Whenver any aren't tagger correctly, we all suffer.  Too frequently I come upon these in my study and when they are links I can't use that I otherwise would, I post it here.  Those that I find in just reading I tend to ignore.  I can't post all of them, it would take too long. A QA team put in place for this would solve mine and your problems.  And the more wheels that squeak, the better.

Yet another missing hyperlink, deflating the value of Logos' interconnectedness:

Piper, John. The Supremacy of God in Preaching. Rev. ed. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2004., page 31.  Links to another of Piper's works, which is in Logos.

MJ, I do this because I have exhausted other routes for Logos to update their works.  As I have stated before, I do this because there are so many and Logos needs to see that there are many works that this happens in.  

You don't have to read it.  You can skip right over it.  However, until this issue is thoroughly addressed and rectified, I feel this is my only option to be the "squeaky wheel."
