How do I manage my print library catalog?

Print Friendly and PDF

While the library available in Logos is extensive, you can also add print books to your Logos library by either scanning their ISBN or by searching for the book in the Logos catalog (www.logos.com). After being added to your library, your print books are included in Logos search results. The search results for printed books guide you to the page number in your physical book.

Note: Available in Logos Pro subscriptions and higher, as well as legacy packages Gold and above.
