Find Who's Who books in my library

I am looking for books in my library that contain articles about outstanding christians in modern history ie D L Moody, Fanny Crosby, Billy Sunday, Billy Graham, just to list a few examples. I would like to create a collection of these resources. I Have logos silver 8 and many other purchased resourses.

Here's my collection rule for Biographical Resources:

title:biog OR subject:biog OR mytag:Biog -subject:("Jesus Christ", Gospels, "Bible - O.T.", Apostles) -mytag:BibleChar -type:media

Of course it depends on my having tagged some biographical resources as "Biog" and ones that are biographies of Bible characters as "BibleChar" so the latter can be weeded out of this collection. This collection will include entire monographs that are biographies of a single individual (such as C.S. Lewis: Creator of Narnia), so if you're looking for only books that are collections of shorter articles, you'll need to do a bit more curating yourself. There are lots of such in my collection, though. Here are a few examples:
