Let’s learn how to search.

Boolean Operators

Boolean Operators are words that connect and define the relationship between search terms.

AND, OR, NOT

AND Narrows the search results. Looks for both of the terms in the database. Retrieves all items with both terms. Dog Cat Dog AND Cat

OR Broadens the search results. Looks for either term in the database. Retrieves items with either term. Cat Dog Dog OR Cat

NOT Cat Dog Results with Cat are eliminated. Dog NOT Cat Narrows the search results. Excludes a term from the database search results. *Google does not exclude results well. Use a minus sign in place of NOT. Cat Dog Results with Cat are eliminated. Dog NOT Cat

Using CINAHL/MeSH Subject Headings

Tip: MeSH Terms can help you find similar terms to search other databases.

(National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2013)

Truncation

Truncation is a librarian search strategy in which a word ending is replaced by an asterisk.

Truncation Educat* education educational educate educated educates educator educators

Quotation Marks

Quotation Marks Enclose a word or phrase in quotation marks to search for the exact word or phrase. Example: When you enter “Type 2 Diabetes” into the database, the databases searches for the phrase exactly as you’ve typed it.
