Logos 8 Studying
Hi there. First time doing this so bare with me. I love logos 8, but still spending time learning it. My question is: As far as my library which I have 3,192 books. I love knowledge, so is there a way I can sort my library books out to in order or what? I just want to be able to know what books I have?

Welcome to the forums. By reading one book a day it will only take you about 9 years to figure out what is in your logos library. [just kidding]]
But soon others will be able to give you better answers BUT they need some help from you.
What packages do you own?
What are you goals in study?

Here is a quick tip you can sign up with Morris Proctor Logos training for $12.99 a month and take all there online training. I am doing that right now and I am taking Camp Logos 1 Essentials and I love it. they have a training titled Organizing your library that I want to take. I can probably go through all their in a month and cancel the membership. it is a great way to learn all of the features and ways.

Welcome to the forums Mark. Great to hear that you want to make the most of your library.
If was starting again one project that I would do would be to go through my entire library to tag every resource. I did this years ago when I had a fairly large library and it took a lot of time but I have never regretted it and I continue to tag every resource I have in Logos. By doing this it forces me to familiarize myself with each book I have but the real value comes later when you can perform some amazing searches by category. Here is an overview of what is involved - https://wiki.logos.com/Tagging
Anyhow, I'll attaching a copy of what I use as a guide. If you are interested I would encourage you to use it and adapt it to fit your needs. 2376.My Tagging System for Logos.docx
One final thing. If you are going to go through your entire library as I suggested I would also take a few minutes to rate each resource too out of 5 stars. The system that many of us on the forums use is from Rosie Perera which you can read here - https://community.logos.com/forums/p/4363/157779.aspx#157779
I hope these links are of some help to you Mark.

Yep.
Frankly, I don't think it's so time consuming. I type in key words (eg 'theology') or use system subjects, then select the ones that match my proposed tag, and mass-tag. The untagged disappear, and good until I die (or Logos does).

Welcome [:D]
One idea is clicking Library column header for Edition followed by shift click on column header Type then expand desired Type(s)
Personal Library customization of Resources is Title and Abbreviated Title (along with a custom Top 2 Series) => Creating a New Series of Commentaries
Keep Smiling [:)]
