Research Guide button on the Menu

[walkr2]

Hello my brothers and sisters!

 

Dilemma alert!

 

Do all of you have the new Research Guide button on your menu? I noticed the Always Rejoice Sat Morn Part 2, and in the demonstration for how research can be done, it was there. On the screen (Jw Library), it shows a “research library” button. I don’t have that button on any of my apple products or on my Hp laptop!  

Can someone please help.?  It’s an awesome way to transition into your research without getting out of Jw library so who wouldn’t want access to it!

 

Thanks to all

We were wondering about that, too. It doesn't appear for us.

you have to download the Research Guide first.

the button only shows when the verse has a reference available.

hope this helps

The Study Bible and the Research Guide are an excellent start if you want JW Library to be an asset in your study.

[carlos]

Open JW Library, then go to Publications > Indexes and download the Research Guide.

 

Once installed, that button will appear.

What does the button look like?

It doesn't appear on all verses, just those that have entries in the Research Guide. In this case, it's Exodus 14:13.

Hi - I’ve already downloaded the RG 2019, where do I download it other than in a pdf reader? I followed the exact demonstration on the video and it was no where to be found! Thanks

Hi Carlos! I followed the instructions in the video step by step, it didn’t populate for me on any device!

Are you Downloading via the jw library app? (version 12)
Do you see the Guide in your app under the 'Publications - Index' tab? (with 3 dots?)
Is your primary language English?

This would the right time to make sure your Study Bible has all of the "media" updates downloaded as well.

How would you do that?

Sr. Carole, go to the Study Bible in your JW Library app.  At the top of the screen (page) you will see an icon that is the "cloud" download icon that I show in the first picture.

Click on this icon and a box will open.  If you have any media already downloaded, they will show as either Audio or Video files.  Above that area is the word CHECK.

When you click the check button the top half of the screen will shown how many files are waiting to download.  Click on them and they will start downloading.

Okay I see this now. But what are these files as I have none downloaded. Can you give an example.

They are the audio Bible, as well as video releases attached to the Study Notes. If they are not downloaded, they will stream when possible.

When you see the video in the study notes about walking down the road to Jerusalem or where ever, this is the file that plays that video.  When we found out that the audio file plays from a specific point (not just the whold chapter) these are the files involved.

So how much space do these files use as I would just stream them until now.

The audio files for the whole audio Bible in English are 1.5 GB. The video files are 54 MB.

To stream every time you must be in the range of the internet access every time.  For those outside the normal range or have poor internet or want to use them at the door-to-door ministry in the rural areas, streaming does not work consistently.

To test your setup, go to Luke 10:30 and look at the Study Notes on the right side study pane.  It should show the video about the road to Jericoh.  Click on the "play" arrow and see how it responds....👍

 

EDIT: you should have audio and video in the research.

Voni, you need to download the research guide inside JW Library, the same as you download the publications for the meetings.

I prepared a step-by-step video for you:
