Boolean Operators English II—Academic Research Writing

Boolean Operators What is a Boolean Operator? A Boolean Operator is a word or symbol that is used to help make internet searches easier. Why should I use Boolean Operators? Here’s why…

Boolean Operators OR: OR is good to use when you want to find a source that contains either (or both) of the terms. Good to use when you are attempting to broaden your search. –television OR violence »Articles containing: »television »violence »television and violence will come up.

Boolean Operators AND: AND is good to use when all of your terms/words must be in the source. Good to use when you are narrowing your source. –television AND violence »Articles containing both the words television and violence will show up.

Boolean Operators NOT: Is used to exclude a particular word or word combination from your search. Good to further narrow your search. –television AND violence NOT “television programs” »Articles with: »the words television and violence »but the article does not contain the phrase “television programs”

Boolean Operators By using an *, you can come up with multiple sources. o Use this to broaden your search. o child* o Child o Children oAlso, use “ “ to bunch words. ochild* AND “television violence”
