Clippings in Logos are similar to a group of index cards that you would use when researching a topic. In each of these index cards you can copy text from other books in your Logos library and paste them there. Logos will automatically add bibliographic info to the back of the cards. You may also add your own notes to each clipping card.
When you create a Clippings file (from the File menu on the left) you will be able to add multiple clipping index cards. So you would probably want to name your Clipping file appropriate to you research topic. This will help you locate it on the right side of the File menu when you want to open it later.
If you are new to Clippings, please watch Mark Barnes video on Clippings. It is a short video and will quickly give you an understanding about Clippings. Afterwards if you may want to view the wiki page Clippings for step-by-step details & illustrations in using clippings. |
