How do I find the publishing date of a document?

How can I find out the age of a commentary or book without opening it? This is really slowing down my research as I am required to use resources published within the last ten years. Is there a way to sort the documents by age? The commentaries come up in no particular order I can discern.

There is no good way. Typically, however, Journal Articles are better for that.

Correction: I assumed you had already checked, but within the Library you can add "publication date" as a column heading.

You might want to check what, "published in the last 10 years" means. Some of the stuff in Logos has a different epub date than what the original item was published in print, and there can sometimes be no way to know what the original was (unless they fixed that while I wasn't looking).

And BTW, welcome to the forums.

This should be easy to do in Logos but because of poor meta data it is not as DOC B has pointed out.

I guess I will go back to my, "no, there is no good way." [:s]
