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.

4. Users can choose whether the displayed references are To the entered passage or From the entered passage by clicking To, which is located next to All Types. I am still unclear about the differences between To and From in this case. Can someone provide an example?
Hello, I'm a new Logos user, switching from E-Sword after 20 years. I'm thrilled with Logos so far, though I've had some stability issues (some reported, some not). Anyway … I've been converting a lot of my ebooks over to DOCX (using Calibre) so I can import them as Personal Books in Logos. Some of what I'm doing feels…
I am wondering what it means legacy edition Logos does not sale, Logos 10 gold etc. Do we have to purchase subscriptions now? John Duran
The anniversary of the release of the 2025 libraries has come and gone and now the year end sale is on, but no sight of 2026 libraries. Is Logos still using a two year schedule in the subscription era or is there just a delay?
I am an old man in my 90s and a Newbie to the Forum. I am a registered owner of Logos 8.17 (Desktop Mac Version) on an older iMac (MacOS 11.7.10 which cannot be upgraded) but have not used it in a long time. I have been using a Bible web site but find it insufficient for my needs so I want to return to using Logos. Because…
