Finding Resources in New SDA Silver Package

Just received my new SDA Silver package yesterday.  It was like Christmas!  So much good stuff, you hardly know where to start looking.  Great job Martin.  

One Question I do have.  Since I have over 3200 books in my library, is there any filter or grouping that enables us to pull out the SDA stuff that was included in the package. It seems like you have to look through the entire library to find them.  Spent a lot of time looking for different volumes and tagging them.  Was hoping that there would be something already done?

Thanks

    Sort your library by date updated and then tag the whole lot (Those updated yesterday assuming you only got the SDA package and not a tone more) with SDA_Silver or something like that.

    I did get the SDA Silver package.  So I guess I will just have to select out the other new resources before tagging, unless someone knows a better way.  But I don't see any option to sort the library by date updated.  Where did you find that?  Are you using Mac or Win version?  I am using Mac.

    Click on the "Last Updated" header in the library. If you don't see that column, right-click in the header (CTRL+click on a Mac, I think), and make sure the column is selected. You can rearrange the column order by dragging column headers to the preferred location.

    When you click the library icon, right-click the bar where it says title and it will give up options on what you want to have shown.  It didn't work for me, because of re-indexing again or update to the whole software that is shows all my resources as lasting being last updated yesterday.  Wish logos could have a special homepage like there was in libronix for the SDA Bible Commentary/EGW writings disk.

    Like you I love having all these SDA resources, but soon I'll forget about most of their titles. I would be nice to have some sort of menu that you can just look at what came in these special bundles and from there we can tag them into our own sections.

    Thank you Mike.  That did it.  

    I agree with David, it seems like it would be a simple matter for Logos to pre tag all of the new resources specific to that package, like the SDA resources in the Silver package for example.  Of course I am  not a programer and Logos is a super complex system, but just my humble opinion. Thanks again.

    I have a number of resources that belong equally to multiple packages and multiple denominations so pre-tagging for me would be a nuisance not a help especially since some functions slow down with large numbers of tags,

    I'm not sure using the Last Updated is the most accurate way to do this. 1) If you already own some of the resources, I don't believe the Last Updated field will change(?); 2) Not all the resources are SDA specific-many are non-denominational or at least more general than just SDA: bibles, dictionaries, lexicons, etc.

    You may want check out the Logos Library Theology/Denomination Tags, and connect to the "Denomination: Seventh-day Adventist" Collection Document. That may get you close to what you're looking for.

    Thanks for working on that, Lynden. Andrew is the one who administers the collections. Could you post the changes you made as a list of just the additions you made to the "Theology/Denomination Tags" thread?

    Is tagging and making a collection the same thing?

    you may not need to add "OR Seventh-day"

    I got a book of Bunyan when I add that, which is not an adventist book. But it is about the sabbath

    just wondering

    Is Mary J. Evans adventist?

    Don't know. Her book says that she teaches at the London School of Theology
