I am a seminary student and I have an assignment to compile background information on each of the NT book. I have not found anything in Logos that is helpful. I looked in factbook but that did not help. If anyone has an idea I would appreciate it.

Can you give some information on the resources you have?
Sorry. I really don't understand what you are asking. I have Logos 6
Logos 6 is the tool used to read resources - what books, journals, etc., do you own - have you purchased a base package?

Which base package do you have, what books are in your library? This would help others to identify which books would be helpful. God bless!!
Are you looking for something like this?

Never mind which base package you have. A decent NT Introduction should have the information you need. I believe they offer at least 1 in Logos.

Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."
You have plenty in Logos to gather from, but often Wikipedia is quicker.
At the beginning of intermediate or technical commentaries, there are valuable introduction and background information for each book of NT.
What sort of background info do you need to compile on each NT book? I'm guessing it's some combination of: authorship, date of composition, provenance (place it was written), recipients, occasion of writing, purpose.
Any book with the words "New Testament" and "Survey" in its title should probably provide you what you need. In Diamond you have The New Testament: Its Background and Message which has this sort of info for each book. You also have An Introduction to the New Testament by David deSilva which has background info for each book.

Wikipedia is good for finding sources, though most institutions frown upon or disallow Wikipedia.

Can filter library for resource titles using:
title:(survey,message,introduction) title:testament
Opening The New Testament: Its Background and Message found some Chapter text so searched Heading Text and Large Text for more articles/chapters with same phrases:
"Political History", "Four Gospels", "Life of Paul"
