  This area is particularly useful in knowing how Logos can access this book. Not all books have values for this area. For instance the book [[A Survey of Bible Doctrine >> logosres:sbd;art=ASurveyOfBibleDoctrine]] has no Logos indexes applied to it. But most other books will have information here. Some may have only one index method and others like a lexicon may have quite a few methods listed.

 

  To help you understand what an Index method is used for, think of the /Reference/ box in a Bible. You can enter a Bible reference in its reference box and Logos navigates to that scripture book{{~ /}}chapter/verse. So if you were to look in the /Indexes/ area of that Bible's info window you would see *Bible*. Likewise if you were to enter a /Word/ in a dictionary in the reference box then Logos navigates to that word in that dictionary. Some books have a wider variety of Index methodsthatLogoshas assigned to them. For instance the [[Enhanced Strong's Lexicon >> logosres:strongs;art=strg.2.566;off=121]] has several methods which can be used to navigate to original language wordsthatarefoundinit(e.g. Strong's numbers, original language word, TDNT, TDOT).

  So you may ask what all this means to you. Well if you understand how certain books are /Indexed/ then it would help you better arrange them inyour[[Prioritization>> Prioritizing]]in your library. For instance books which use Strong's numberingasanindexmight be prioritized higherinyourprioritizationoflexiconif you use Strong's numberingwhen seeking information on original language words. Also when setting up a reading plan, knowing how a book is /indexed/ can help you set the range that you want to read each day. So you see this area of information in your book's info window can open up a lot of understanding on how Logos will use it. \\ \\
