How to create a bibliographic report in Logos 4
Logos 4 is a wonderful piece of software that is unfortunately missing one or two important features, including a bibliographic report. However, help is at hand! This site will generate a bibliographic report for you. There are several simple steps:
- Register as a user on this website, then log-in.
- Upload your library catalogue. This is a special file generated by Logos 4 which contains a database of your library. Each book adds around 10kb to this file, so if you have 1,000 resources the file will be around 10Mb. A 10Mb file could take around 7 minutes to upload, depending on your connection speed.
- Choose your options, then generate the report. You can sort by author or title. Four styles are available:
- Table: A table with the columns: cover image, title, authors, publisher, year. Various size options are available for the cover image.
- Shelves:Displays your books on library shelves.
- Titles only: A simple list of just the titles.
- APA: Similar to the bibliographic presentation required by the APA.
- BibTex: A bibliographic database format, which you may be able to import into other applications like Zotero.
- Save or print the report from your web-browser.
Limitations: Because this is a hack, and not something officially supported, you cannot access all the data you may want. Missing are ISBNs, volume numbers, and the publisher's location.

“Your library has 0 resources. (This will probably be slightly larger than the number shown in Logos 4…”
This is fantastic! I love the visual representation of my library….it works for the way my brain is wired!
When I click a book it wants to open it (which is a great function) but it is opening them in Libronix and not the Logos4 application. How can I change that?
Thanks for a useful tool!
This is awesome, very cool. Thank you so much.

for some reason, when I click on the browse box, one of my picture albums keeps popping up. I cannot put the file address into the box.
i can click on the “subscribe” box, no problem, but the box where we are to add our file address ALWAYS opens up a picture folder–JUST by trying to click on the box.
Thank you so much for using your gifts and talents to give those of us who are visual learners a tool for exploring and using Logos 4.
God bless your continued work.
WOW!! That is too school for cool! Love that I click and it opens in Logos too.
silly question answered – I see I can use this myself. Now, asking for the moon, is there any way of listing books in series, also can I make a list/collection of new resources added recently? vidoes don’t help me as they won’t open on my very slow internet connection.
PS have found out how to make a collection from HELP…
