Tap on “Tags” and you will see a search bar and a list of your tags. Select “Notes” from the Gospel Library’s Library screen (shown left) and the next screen will have the words “All | Tags | Notebooks” along the top of the screen.

In Gospel Library, rest your finger on the text you’d like to tag until little colored cursors appear to the left and right of the word your finger rests on. The 35 items I’ve tagged with “obedience” helped me write, “ The God that Makes Men Free,” and the 25 items tagged “Priesthood” helped me write, “ Women and a Male Priesthood.” I use tags to save everything I find concerning those questions and thoughts, and then I use them to write scripture thought blogs. Secondly, I tend to find topics and questions I’ve been pondering pop up throughout my scripture study. Thanks to Gospel Library I can just whip out my phone and share a quote, scripture, or idea immediately. I’ll be having a conversation and something I’m studying will come to my mind. First of all, I use them when I talk to people. I find I use them for two things much more often. Most of these notes I don’t even remember finding or making, and yet, here are enough materials to write several robust church talks.īut tags are useful for much more than just writing talks. Some are from Church manuals, and one is a verse of poetry. The quotes mostly come from General Conference and other church talks by Joseph Smith, Elder Richard G. Presently, I would find 28 saved notes including 11 scriptures, 16 quotes, and the Young Women’s Theme. I turn to my notes for ideas and pull up everything I’ve tagged “knowledge” over the years. So, Let’s pretend I’ve been asked to give a talk on knowledge next Sunday. For instance, in my personal study I highlighted, “My people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge ” (2 Nephi 15:13) and then I tagged it “knowledge” and “freedom.” In Gospel Library and lds.org notes, A tag is a word or phrase that you associate with a highlight or note. So, what are tags? Tags are a way of organizing information so that you can find it when you need it. In fact, I consider a note completely worthless unless I’ve tagged it. It seemed like a lot of work to put into something that would just sit… and then I’d feel guilty about throwing them away even after years of not using them… Not appealing to me. I knew I wouldn’t be able to find anything after the fact. And then sometimes I’d learn something really fascinating, or I’d have a really amazing spiritual experiences and I’d want to record it… preserve it somehow… But I couldn’t see the benefit of scribbling them into a notebook. Sometimes I felt guilty for not taking notes. After a lifetime of watching my parents scribble away, I often felt the urge to join them, filling notebook after notebook with my thoughts and impressions. I come from a long line of diligent note-taking Christians. One of the biggest weaknesses I have seen in traditional scripture study is the the worthlessness of handwritten note taking. If you’ve never tagged your notes, get ready! This is a game-changer. This is possibly the most exciting tool a person can use in the world of digital note-taking.
