How do you search a book that Logos carries that you don't have, but have a hard copy of?

    Add it to your Logos Print Library and search it from there - guidance at https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/8688477672589-How-do-I-manage-my-print-library-catalog

    The Print Library feature is amazing. @Milkman, you're going to love it. Not only does it find what you're looking for, it shows you a little bit of the context surrounding it in the book you only own in print! It's amazing when I am looking for something specific in one of my print books.

    I'm finding that out. What a great tool to have. I have never used it, but this will expand my research into topics/subjects etc.

    Hard to beat the Logos software.

    There's been a few times where I haven't actually had to pull out the print book…what the search brought up was enough for what I needed.

    Print Library is excellent! Has the AI Search implementations improved it at all?

    (Come to think of it, I need to add a few new ones and check a couple that it wouldn't recognize. (They were "research/review" copies - a couple other of those Print books were able to be added a little while after my first attempt)

    Interesting question @Frank Sauer !

    With Smart Search including all the books in the Logos catalog, it does incude books in your Print Library even if you don't own them in Logos.

    To check this I did a Books Smart Search just looking at books in my Print Library (some of which I also own in Logos - which I need to tidy up)! So, yes, we can now do AI-powered searches that use books in our Print Library
