Searching the LIBRARY for different journals

Is there a way to find, quickly, the number of different journals I own? When I type in the LIBRARY, type:journal it gives me the total number of issues I have, but not the number of different journals [like Ashland Theological, Bible and Spade, Bib Sac]. I have.

Open the Library window, and ensure you are in Details view so you can see the columns.
In the white search box, enter type:journal as you have done before.
Click the header over the Series column.

This will collapse the journals by series, so only the series names appear. You can now easily count how many rows are in that window.

Thanks. That was helpful.

Now - another question. Is there a way to know how many series [of journals] I have without literally counting the series?

Nope. But a shortcut is to group by series (as in the screenshot above), then with them all collapsed, count how many fill up one window worth (resize your Logos library window to make it a reasonable number to count, say 10) and then page through with the Page Down key, counting the number of screens worth, plus how many series are the remainder on the last page. Then multiply number of screens by how many series per screen and add the remainder, and you'll get the total. Note: be aware of whether paging through leaves one line of overlap that's shown on both previous and next screen, and don't count that in the total of series per screen if that's the case.

if you have excel, you could export type:journal view to excel and use a pivot table to see how many series you have.
