\"Boolean<\/strong>\" operators (or \"search operators\") are a set of commands that can be used in almost every library database and even popular search engines like Google. The most common operators are AND<\/strong> and OR<\/strong> in uppercase letters.<\/p>\n\n
You\u2019ll often see AND and OR already set up for you on most \u201cAdvanced Search\u201d pages.<\/p>\n\n
Boolean is essential to strategic searching.

Hi there! When using library databases, the search operator AND helps narrow a search to get fewer, but more relevant results. Use AND when combining two or more concepts in your search. For example, Paris AND history will find articles, books, and other sources that contain both concepts, that is, sources on the history of Paris. On the other hand, the search operator OR will help you expand your search to get more results. This is especially useful when searching for synonyms or similar concepts. So, instead of searching for planet AND exploration, you could search for planet OR galaxy, AND exploration to see sources that discuss either or both planets and galaxies.<\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"},"subContentId":"35ef3c9e-1b39-4c0a-92e5-038a1fce7e86"},"title":"Video transcript"}],"hTag":"h2"},"library":"H5P.Accordion 1.0","metadata":{"contentType":"Accordion","license":"U","title":"Untitled Accordion"},"subContentId":"1e3e3a54-2505-4686-8cac-0abf0d92b013"},"useSeparator":"auto"},{"content":{"params":{"text":"
