Topics Covered Boolean searching (or why am I getting articles about the myriad uses of giraffe hair?) Accessing ERIC ERIC through EBSCOhost WebPortal: for off-campus access Education websites ebrary

Boolean searching Boolean searching is a technique supported by most library catalogs, periodical databases, and search engines. Boolean utilizes AND, OR and NOT to facilitate subject and keyword searches. In effect, it broadens and narrows search results and improves the retrieval of relevant search results. The following four (4) slides use Venn diagrams to illustrate Boolean searches.

Boolean searching cats AND dogs catsdogs AND AND: Shaded area is all items which contain both ‘cats’ and ‘dogs’. This narrows your search.

Boolean searching dolphinsporpoises OR OR: Shaded area is items which contain either ‘porpoises’ or ‘dolphins’ or a combination of both. This broadens your search. To remember this, you can think of the phrase, “more with ‘or’”.

Boolean searching porpoises NOT gambling dolphins lottery Miami NOT: Filters out unwanted terms (shaded area represents the desired topic). For example, you can search ‘dolphins not Miami’ to avoid articles about the Miami Dolphins football team.

Boolean searching (schools OR repairs) NOT fish schoolsrepairs fish Search terms can be combined, like a math equation: (x+y)=z. If you need “schools or repairs”, but want to avoid “schools of fish”, you can combine Boolean terms to improve relevant searches while filtering out unwanted results.

ERIC through EBSCOhost To access Sullivan Library’s online periodical databases: Click on the Library link (indicated in the pink circle) or type in the URL

The Periodicals link directs you to three (3) lists: Databases by Title: All periodical databases listed by title. Databases by Topic: Databases organized by subject. A-Z List: Journal titles (with online access) listed alphabetically. ERIC through EBSCOhost

“Search all EBSCO Databases” allows you to choose multiple databases to search at one time. Useful for research projects which may span more than one subject area.

ERIC through EBSCOhost Searching the Database: Enter topic and keywords in the Find box (remember Boolean!). Below, you can limit your search by date, journal name, full text only, etc. Hint! Clicking the Full Text box finds only those articles immediately available online through HTML or PDF.

ERIC Advanced Searching Searching the Database continued: Advanced Search can search by title, author or subject by changing the Default Fields using the drop down boxes. Use “limiters” to help further narrow your search.

ERIC Thesaurus Using the Ebsco Thesaurus: Useful for finding other phrases, keywords or terms to search. It will also highlight the words within the citation and the text of the article.

Save the Articles! Save the most promising articles by Adding them to your folder… …or, if full text is available, click on the title of the article…

Save the Articles! …and print, , or save the article to a floppy disk, CD-ROM or flash drive. HINT! link will provide citation style.

ERIC Document Linking “Full Text from ERIC” Takes you directly to the ERIC website; access PDF to print or download. Access to articles via: HTML, PDF, A-Z List, Title held locally

A-Z List …note the journal title, issue no., volume no., etc. of the article. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the A-Z List Periodicals link. For articles listed as “A-Z List” or “title held locally”…

A-Z List On the top right FIND box, do a search for the name of the journal. The A-Z list will tell you if the journal name is available online or in Paper (hardcopy). Availability is limited by date and any embargo (delay in access) is listed.

ERIC Searching Tips Limiting Your Results: To help reduce the amount of articles found and/or to increase the amount of relevant results: 1.Use Boolean operators. 2.Choose “limiters,” such as: a date range, full text options, document type or publication title. 3.Consult a thesaurus (or use the Thesaurus link in Ebsco), subject encyclopedia or dictionary to find other terms to search and/or to ensure that the term and spelling you are using is correct.

For Further ERIC Help If the article you require is unavailable through ERIC directly or Sullivan Library’s EBSCOHost database, you can request an Interlibrary Loan through Sullivan Library.
