Boolean Searching

You can combine your keywords or search terms to broaden or narrow your search with a Boolean Search using AND, OR, or NOT. Conducting a Boolean Search will help you retrieve the search results that you want.

  • Using AND will give you search results for ALL of your search terms.
    • This is a strategy to NARROW your search results.
  • Using OR will give you search results with either of your search terms.
    • This strategy works to BROADEN your search and results.
  • Using NOT will give you search results with one term but not the other.
    • This is a strategy to NARROW your results and focus.
