 How to Prioritize resources

Updated for Logos version 23+



Various tools like Bible Word Study, other Guides, right-click Context menu, Parallel Book sets, Resource selection menus,
... can list resources in your order of prioritization versus the default order that Logos uses, which may not be what you expected.

To do this go to Library, click on Prioritize Books in the panel menu and add books to the list
- see How to Prioritize resources for more information.

Sample list organisations appear below, and it is suggested that you type a filter in the Library Find bar to see resources in that category.
Abbreviations are accepted e.g. type:encyclop to specify encyclopedias/bible dictionaries.

English Bibles, Dictionaries, and Commentaries Prioritize List:

Min No.	Category	Library Filter
5	English Bibles	type:Bible lang:English
5	Bible Dictionaries	type:Encyclopedia subj:Bible
6	Commentaries (or Series)	type:Commentary

English plus Original Language Bibles, Lexicons, Dictionaries, and Commentaries Prioritize List:

Min No.	Category	Library Filter
5	English Bibles	type:Bible lang:English
5	Greek Bibles	type:Bible lang:Greek subj:N.T.
3	Hebrew Bibles	type:Bible lang:Hebrew
3	Septuagint Bibles	type:Bible lang:Greek subj:O.T.
2	Apostolic Fathers	type:Ancient Apostolic
2	Apparatus	type:Apparatus
5	Greek Lexicons	type:Lexicon subj:Greek
5	Hebrew/Aramaic Lexicons	type:Lexicon subj:(Hebrew, Aramaic)
5	Bible Dictionaries	type:Encyclopedia subj:Bible
6	Commentaries (or Series)	type:Commentary

Note 1: The minimum number (No.) of resources is a guide only. Five is the maximum number of resources to appear in the Context menu, but you can specify more in case a value is not found in some of your top 5. Passage Guide will list the number of commentaries that you specify and the Parallel Books menu can list all your resources.

Note 2: You can mix Hebrew bibles and Septuagint bibles depending on your preference for Greek or Hebrew in the Old Testament.

Note 3: Bibles and Commentaries are both accessible via bible passage references, so if you prioritize one or two commentaries (or Series) among your top five bible resources they will be listed in the Context menu for a bible reference. For example:

• ESV (Preferred bible)
• NET
• NKJV
• NIV
• Bible Knowledge Commentary
• NRSV

 —> NRSV is included for Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books that are not in other bibles

 —> Bible Knowledge Commentary is a one volume resource that comments on all verses in Protestant canon so can use right click context for a verse to quickly open commentary

Resources you can Prioritize after the above ones:

Min No.	Category	Library Filter
1	Dictionary	type:Dictionary
3	Lectionary	type:Lectionary
3	Devotional	type:Calendar	Calendar Devotionals

Note 1: Highest priority Lectionary and Devotional are displayed in Logos Quick Start and Home Page layouts.

Note 2: You can prioritize other resource types that appear in Bible Word Study (BWS) Textual Searches.
