Electronic Resources in Materials Science AND, OR, NOT Imagine each circle contains the articles you would find by doing a search. Lilac circle shows what you would find if you searched for the term Genetics. Green circle shows what you would find if you searched for Population Blue circle shows what you would find if you searched for Molecular. Search for Genetics OR Population OR Molecular would find all the results. Genetics AND Population would find the green/lilac overlap Genetics AND molecular would find the lilac/blue overlap Genetics AND Population AND Molecular would find only the triangular bit in the middle NOT will start excluding areas e.g. Genetics NOT Molecular would find all of the lilac area, except for the blue overlap. 21/11/2018 Radcliffe Science Library, Parks Rd, oxford OX1 3QP, Tel.(01865) 272800 Ljilja Ristic and Gigi Horsfield
