I would settle for "no...errata," but this is pretty neat.

When I read the title "OT This is what I want my Logos/Verbum library to feel like" and saw the photo all I could think of was "dusty?". [:)]
No known errors? Amazing. Makes me wonder how much it is studied compared to the Bible.

I don't know, MJ, the search engine looks like he is relatively slow ... furthermore, one wonders how long it would take to perform a complete re-index. [;)]
(but those wooden shelves are fantastic!)
Instead of Artificial Intelligence, I prefer to continue to rely on Divine Intelligence instructing my Natural Dullness (Ps 32:8, John 16:13a)

True story: The Yale library has an excellent edition of the Tibetan Tripitika (Tengyur and Kangyur). In the 70's, the way to get copies of it was not through a librarian but through a landromat whose owner was Tibetan ... now that's an obscure search engine with no known reindexing capabilities.

I don't know but have you heard of a Christian world-wide online recitation of a book of the Bible? That's happened for the Tibetan Buddhist texts. Admittedly the first Resounding only drew about 800 people but ...

Maybe as virtual reality technology improves we will one day be able to take VR tours through our digital libraries - and be able to pick out whatever kinds of bookshelves we want! Not sure there would be any practical benefit to being able to do that, but it sure would be fun, not to mention a great marketing tool. Prospective customers could visually see the size of the various potential libraries they could buy. Current customers could have spots on their shelves reserved for missing volumes in various sets of books. Users could have a "wish list bookshelf." A VR equivalent of the website would let users actually browse bookshelves, pick up, and flip through books that are on sale. Think how many more books might be sold if users could "see" them first and preview how good they would look on their shelves! Won't happen anytime soon, but I don't see any reason something like that couldn't eventually happen. Would give a whole new meaning to digital hoarding!

I like it Mattthew - together with a virtual reality helmet to put us in our favorite library or even better, the library in which particular manuscripts are held!

That's a great idea! I would love to see that.
