The first thing you would do is create a search for the tag - Short Stories tags:"Short Stories" then you save this search by giving it a name in the saved search window (top right) I called this saved search Short Stories, then click the white cross in the green block.

You now have a saved search called Short Stories. Now you can go to Restrict to window (top left) and choose the saved search Short Stories. Your library is now restricted to Short Stories. The number of books will be highlighted in yellow indicating a restriction is in place. You can do whatever you wish within this restricted library just as you did for the full library.

To undo the restriction go back to the Restrict to drop down window and choose the blank entry at the top. The yellow highlighting goes away and it says (all books) next to the window.

I have my library start up with a restriction titled Main Library, this is all of my books except those books tagged with both Adult and Non-fiction and any book with the tag of working. In order to start you library with a restriction go to Preferences - Behavior and choose which restriction you want in place. The content server can also be set up to run a restricted library.

I also automatically add the tag working (set under Preferences - Adding Books) to every new book added to my library and have a restriction for my working library.
