Search Strings
Are you finding too much or not enough information? Try using boolean operators and truncation symbols, or use alternative, narrower, or broader keywords to vary your results.
To retrieve the most relevant search results, you will need to construct a search string.
A search string is a combination of keywords, truncation symbols, and boolean operators you enter intothe search box of a library database or search engine.
Example: educat* AND student* gives results that include "education, educator, educating" and "student, students".
Use the information on this page to help you construct effective search strings.
