Is there a way for Logos Pro to list out all the books owned on a particular subject? For example, Biblical Criticisms.
You can sort your library if in details view by Type. However it is the Type as set up by Logos. Many books are not categorized, but simply tagged Monograph.
Now if you know the subject, then open library in detail view and on the left under Filter open the Subject drop down and scroll or do a filter search. You should get a good idea of Subjects from the scroll down menu.
Hope this helps
Thank you John, thst helped. Do you know the Subject material is organized? The first group was not alphabetical but when continuing on down to the second grouping they do appear alphabetical. However, I had several groups of alphabetical listings rather than one large group that alphabetically arranged. I have about 2 dozen dictionaries and enclclopedias in my library. When I wanted to do some research on Biblical Criticism (I didn't see that in the pull down Subject Matter) I had to open each volumn separately and search the table of contents. Is there any way for Logos to search all the books in my library for a subject that does not appear in the pull down subject Matter?
I would suggest you create a collection of your dictionaries and then run a book search selecting the collection, then from the "all text" drop down select search field and then select "heading text" and "large text". In the search box type "Biblical Criticism" with quotes. See below:
Hope this helps.
Thank you, John, I
Perhaps an easier way to find library resources on a specific topic is FactBook. Open FactBook and type Biblical Criticism and select from dropdown.
John,
These are all excellent helps! I’ve been using/learning Logos for a couple of years now but never got around to understanding the search techniques. And then when “Pro” was introduced I relied on the Smart search. Again, thank you so much for these tips.

After a recent windows 11 update, and Logos application update, the behavior of ref.ly links changed so that the web app is being displayed in addition to the the desktop app. I checked the "Apps for websites" system setting and there isn't an entry for Logos. I ran the script on the forum that edits the registry to fix…
I would like to be able to compare more versions on the text comparison tool on the app.
I have La Biblia de las Americas on my iPad, but can't find it for my desktop (Mac). When I go to the store, it just gives me the price. Could you tell me how this happened and how I can get it tabbed on my laptop? Thanks.
I am not from a liturgical church (no disrespect those who are), but have found a good use for the liturgical day section in sermon manager. I put things like communion, elder installation, child dedication, baptism, etc. on that day to remind me we are doing that on that Sunday. The problem is when I move a sermon to a…
Does anyone know if this feature was taken away? I have used it several times but I went to scan a book into my library and I am not seeing it under the menu. This was a really nice feature to have and I believe they discussed it on the newest released in passing but I don't think anyone talked about it going away.
