OPERATORS |
|||
|
Use And to narrow your search. By joining search terms together, the And operator reduces the number of results. For eg. "architecture and postmodern" will only retrieve articles that contain both those terms. |
||
|
Use Or to broaden your search. The Or operator searches for articles in which any of your search terms are present. Or is also useful when one is looking for terms with variant spelling or grammatical variations. Eg. "Renaissance and (woman or women)" will pick up articles that contain the term Renaissance along with either the term woman or women. |
||
|
Use Not to eliminate search terms. Eg. "Internet not World Wide Web" will only retrieve articles that contain the term Internet and do not refer to the World Wide Web. |

Wildcard & Truncation |
|||
|
|
|
||
| Wildcard symbol - | ? | ||
| For example, type ne?t to find all citations containing neat, nest or next. EBSCOhost does not find net because the wildcard replaces a single character. | |||
| Truncation Symbol | * | ||
| For example, type comput* to find the words computer or computing. | |||
