   How to Search!

Identify Key Words

  • Write out questions
  • Circle necessary words
  • Anticipate words in the answer
  • Use synonyms (words that have the same meaning) to get more results

Use Boolean Operators to narrow or broaden your search

  • OR gives more results
  • AND gives fewer results
  • NOT cuts out specific words or phrases

Use quotation marks to keep exact phrases together

  • Example: "Florida Marlins" will give results about the baseball team, not the fish or the US state
