Data Errors
General
- running a search on Œhypocrite¹ and found the following: ³Search ALL TEXT in NIV ³APPLICTION² instead of ³Application²
- Most [Vyrso] books are missing subject field; would be useful to have for dynamic collections
- Please add common abbreviations in parenthesis after publisher names (JPS, PBI...). This simplifies library filtering and collection rules considerably.
- Please look over all subject titles for spelling/typing mistakes, and also for inconsistencies (like Aggada/Haggadah/Haggadot).
Title Capitalization Errors
- Follow in His footprints by Michael Green (Vyrso) – ‘Footprints’ should be capitalized
- How to be Born Again by Billy Graham (Vyrso) – ‘Be’ should be capitalized (all verbs, no matter how short they are)

Suggested Changes to Logos Standards
Commentaries and Bible Notes Types: Logos’ use of these types is primarily functional rather than descriptive. The Commentary type is broadly defined to include many different kinds of resources that are indexed by Bible verse, while the Bible Notes type is used exclusively for the notes from a Bible (usually study Bible notes). Some users would like to see a more restrictive definition of the Commentary type that would exclude things like:
- Bible History: Old Testament, Encountering the Book of Romans: A Theological Survey, Holman Bible Handbook, New Manners and Customs of the Bible, Searching for Heaven on Earth (2 x D. Jeremiah), A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, Word Pictures in the NT, Word Studies in the NT, Wuest’s Word Studies in the Greek NT, Holman Concise Bible Commentary, With the Word Bible Commentary, anything with “Study Bible/Guide”, “Studies”, or “Bible Handbook” in its title.
