Search tips
Do you have a hard time finding what you are looking for?
To get the most out of a database it can be helpful to use truncation, phrase search, and Boolean operators.
Truncation means that your search includes all possible endings of the root of a word. Some databases do this automatically, but many use a symbol to truncate a word. The asterisk * symbol is the most commonly used command for truncation.
Example: Build* includes Building, Builder, Builders
Phrase search " "
Phrase search means that an exact sequence of words is used.
Example: ”personal integrity” or ”common law”
Booleon operators means that you tell the search engine how to use your search terms, with the words AND, OR, or NOT, often in all caps.
AND – used when you are interested in two or more terms combined.
OR – used when you want to broaden your search and include results with only one of your search terms.
NOT – used when you want to exclude a search term from your results.
