Whether you are searching the web or the library’s electronic databases, a few strategies applying Boolean logic, truncation symbols, and wildcard symbols can make your searches more productive. Named for Irish mathematician George Boole, Boolean logic is based on three operators—AND, OR, and NOT. Using these operators will enable you to narrow or expand searches more effectively and thus get better search results. Numerous web sites provide instruction in the use of Boolean Logic in keyword searching. This site, from MIT Libraries, provides database search tips, including the use of Boolean logic, truncation, and wildcards.
