Steps in online searching:
http://ujsciencelibrarian.pbworks.com/Getting-Started-with-your-Research
Boolean Operators for searching within the databases:
-
Identify search terms from your topic, which you will use while searching the databases
Use Boolean Operators to combine your terms for better search results:
AND – Narrow your search results. "I want only documents that contain both words."
OR - means "I want documents that contain either word or both in the record."
NOT - NOT logic is used to exclude a particular term. We retrieve only records in which ONLY the
first term is used, but exclude the second term.
