Tips for database searching
Tips for database searching

2) Boolean search indicators (AND, OR, NOT)
AND - combines keywords
OR - alternative wording
NOT - search for specific keywords, eliminating alternative wording
3) Add truncation as needed
( ) Use parentheses to create groups of words linked together with OR
* Use an asterisk (sometimes called a “wildcard”) to search a word that can end multiple ways
“ “ Use quotation marks to search for a phrase (the words must appear in the article exactly as they appear in quotes)
