Reading List
I would like to see an option to create a reading list. I have found many times that I come across a resource that I want to read or scan through at a later date but am unable to at the moment. I inevitably for get and lose track. This could also be helpful in putting together lists of resources with a similar theme or topic in a more precise manner than trying to use tags.

Hi Chris,
welcome to the Logos user forums!
I'm not sure if you are aware of the existing Reading List feature of Logos 6 (the homepage can show the three most recently changed reading lists). Note that these lists are public for everyone to see and contribute to - managed in a wiki-like site at http://topics.logos.com - and there exist quite a number of lists of resources on themes/topics. You may check out some existing ones to get a feel for the structure and usances of how we utilize this feature.
Note that some people use this for semi-private lists in just setting up a page and filling it with links to Logos resources without the syntax that pushes it out to everybody's Logos installation.

I use the Favorites tool for this.
I have a couple of Favorites entries: one is called 'Explore these later' and another is called 'Make into a Reading Plan'. I use the former for books for which I am unfamiliar. I use the latter for books I know I will read.
When a new resource downloads, I pull it up on the Library Panel and drag the title to one of these two slots in my Favorites. Then they are there for later browsing.

Thanks DocB, this is an excellent tip!

I should have added this tip:
You can open the resource and drag the resource tab to your Favorites, but if you do, this will make an entry in the Favorites by location. If you open the Library tab and drag the resource from the Library, it will enter the resource into your Favorites by title only, and won't try to add the location.
This can be used purposefully: If, say, you want to investigate a particular chapter in a book, or an article in a journal, but not the whole book or journal, open the resource to the location you want and drag the resource tab to Favorites, and it will, later, open to your desired spot.
Just FYI.
