Logos Library Book Subjects

I love Logos 2 yrs. I admit to being in a rut. My wife is a professional Librarian and I am familiar with CIP (cataloging in publication on the title page), Dewey Decimal System and Library of Congress library collection organizing systems; plus Sears Subject Headinigs and Library of Congress Subject Headings, so I am knowledgable about how libraries work but am not an expert. First, I would like to see fiction and non-fiction identified separately perhaps by only taking Fiction so I can search all fiction or nonfiction. Second, I think every book should have a subject attached to it. Many (usually smaller) libraries do not put subject headings on fiction (I would like to have them). Third, many books on the same subject do not have consistent subjects as if the catalogers can make up their own subjects rather than having a list of approved subjects that can have additions when needed. Example: See the subjects of the volumes of the Word Biblical Commentary and look a "Type:Commentary" and look at the inconsistency of the organization of the "subjects" information.

Please include a search option for your website available books database for nonfiction (or one to exclude fiction). I am constantly bogged down in my searches with fiction, YA, educator books for kids, etc. There are several search options for fiction but nothing to congregate nonfiction resources with the click of a checkbox or two even tho it’s just the converse. It's really disincentivizing to not be able to skip past those results, esp for us oldsters who started with Logos for traditional learning tools.0
