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.

I am running Logos on my MacBook, and have been for some time, and I have been wondering for a while why it seems like every time I load Logos, and every time I switch Layouts, it goes from Full Screen to not full screen. Is there some setting I'm missing? I have, in the settings, set to open to "most recent layout -…
I want to read the Summa Theologica in one year. I tried to set up a reading plan in Logos, but there does not appear to be an option for how many days I can set for a reading plan. When I select every day, it provides a reading plan that takes over 800 days. I want to do it in 365 days. Is there any way to adjust the…
I am working with Hebrew. How can I find all occasions of a word based on a specific triliteral root? For example I want to find the occurrence of every time "הגה" is used in the Psalter - regardless of the vowel pointings or how the word functions in any given passage. What is the work flow for this? Logos defaults into…
