Research Notes

Using the LRHS Library Catalog

Internet Search• A boolean search allows you to combine search terms in different ways.• The words AND, OR, and NOT are called “Boolean operators.”• OR always broadens a search (e.g. dogs OR cats)• AND always narrows a search (e.g. ketchup AND mustard)• NOT excludes results with a specified term (e.g. food NOT drink)• If you use more than one Boolean operator, you must use parentheses to

indicate the order of the search terms; the text in parentheses will be evaluated as a unit. • (movie or “TV show”) AND soccer – the search engine will look for the topic of

soccer in both movies and TV shows.

• Advanced searches allow you to zero in on your topic by letting you direct the search engine to include or leave out specific terms.
