Searching Tips Advanced Search: exact search terms, language tools, file format, time period, numeric range, domain, website... Boolean Operators: AND (+), OR, NOT (-) AND & NOT: narrows search results OR: broadens search results GMO’s and California GMO’s not California Food and Genetically Modified Organisms or Genetically Engineered Crops Correct Spelling: Capitalize proper nouns; e.g., Spring will generate different results than spring.

Searching Tips Keyword Searching: list keywords and synonyms that describe your concepts and topics. Child, minor, infant… Phrase Searching: put quotation marks around phrases you want to see together; e.g., “higher education”. Prepare: maximize your time spent online, analyze your question to pinpoint concepts. Search More Than One: Use at least two sources for your research. Truncation: *?! allows you to search words with the same root, which in turn broadens search results; e.g., music* finds: musical, musician, musicians, and musicality.

Internet Search Engines

Searching Tips Domain Name:.edu = educational.com = commercial.mil = military.gov = government.org = nonprofit.int = international File type : specific type e.g., education : pdf Instructions : read the search engine and database instructions-- each search tool has its own set of tips for simple and advanced searching.
