• AND increases the precision of your search / narrows it down

– e.g. architecture same Spain• OR widens the scope of your search, useful for synonyms
– e.g architecture or Spain• NOT excludes unwanted terms
– e.g. architecture not Spain
Combining Terms using Boolean Operators
• Parentheses (brackets) can be used to override the order of precedence when combining terms using Boolean operators
– e.g. architecture and (Spain or Spanish)– e.g. (architecture or building*) same (Spain or Spanish)– e.g. ((architecture or building*) same (Spain or Spanish)) and influence*
• Order of precedence– SAME– NOT– AND– OR
Combining terms using multiple Boolean operators
* - wildcard or truncation for any number of charactersE.g. enzym* to find enzyme, enzymatic or enzymology
? - wildcard for a single characterE.g. wom?n to find woman or women
$ - wildcard for a single character or no charactersE.g. vapo$r to find vapor and vapour.
You cannot use these at the beginning of a word and the * can only be used after three characters
You can use an unlimited number of wildcards cards in a single term, and you can use different wildcards in the same term.
