How to Search with Boolean Operators
Your keywords are the main concepts or ideas of your paper.
For example the keywords for a paper on “youth leisure in Canada” would be:
- Youth
- leisure
- Canada
Use synonyms: Often there are multiple ways to express the same concept. For example these synonyms mean essentially the same thing – make sure to use them:
leisure can also be:
- recreation
- sport
- entertainment
Use “AND” and “OR”: By bridging your truncated keywords and synonyms with the capitalized search words “AND” and “OR” (known as Boolean operators), you can search for multiple concepts effectively.
