Tagging and sorting books
Good morning everyone.
I am wanting to start sorting and organizing my library. What is the easiest way to do that? Also, can a book be put in more than one collection? For example, Basil the Great On the Spirit in both Church Fathers and Pentecostal collections?
Thanks in advance!

There will be many who will give you advice on this topic, but for clarification: Are you asking a technical question ("how do I do this in Logos") or a philosophical one ("what categories and techniques should I use")?

Absolutely. A "collection" is simply a list of books. It isn't like a physical shelf with a physical book. You can put the same book in as many collections as you would like, no problems.

I am wanting to know the steps to do it in Logos. ( I am not averse to suggestions on the categories and techniques though!)

Jason, I'd really hate for you to join the 'wrong team' (smiling).
Some of us are taggers, and others collectionists. There's a smaller group called re-title-ists too. All managing their libraries.
Here's the tagger's instructions:

Each has its benefits. You might play around first, before you dig in.

I definitily do both - BUT I know that collections have a price tag: they are evaluated at program start, so having commentary collections for all books of the bible, and tradition/denominational collections of hundreds of authors for dozens of theological leanings (as you can find ready-made rules for in the forums and/or the wiki) will definitely slow down Logos at startup. It's only a bit - so if you think it's pretty fast and you easily work with a little bit more, then okay. If you're sitting impatiently urging the program to show up, don't go the collection route but use tags instead, it's always possible to have a quick on-the-fly collection with rule mytag:xyz.
Have joy in the Lord!
