A Boolean search is a type of search allowing users to combine keywords with operators (or modifiers) such as AND, NOT and OR to further produce more relevant results.
For example, a Boolean search could be "hotel" AND "New York". This would limit the search results to only those documents containing BOTH of those two keywords. For a great reference on a way to search BETTER AND MORE EFFICIENTLY, use this link!

CITING YOUR SOURCES:
CITING YOUR SOURCES:
Within most of our resources, there is an option to click on "CITE" and cut and paste the citation directly from the article.
There are a lot of websites on the internet (anyone can make a website!), and many of them are based on people's opinions, outdated data, or questionable information. It is important to be able to tell these apart from reliable sources that are current, authoritative, and accurate. In order to do this, you can apply the C.R.A.P. test for evaluating resources, which was developed by Molly Beestrum, and is used by educators and students. The link below to Evaluating Websites is to a website that delves into the specifics of how to evaluate a resource, and be sure it is something that you want to use in your research.
Evaluating WebsitesThis website, part of Colorado Community Colleges Online, explains how to evaluate websites using the C.R.A.P. test. Comprehensive and easy to understand, it's an excellent resource for teaching students to evaluate websites.
One of the most important things when writing a report or researching is to give credit to your sources. This is called CITING your sources, and the links below will help you to do that properly.

You can use the links below to help you ensure that you are giving credit properly and effectively.
