Boolean Operators
What are Boolean Operators?
Boolean Operators connect your search together to either broaden or narrow your results
The three basic Boolean Operators are:
- AND
- OR
- NOT
These can be combined as necessary to focus your search for information.
Example: I would like to know information about the author Jack London, but I already have information about his work Call of the Wild. To expand my search and exclude that particular work, I can use a Boolean Operator.
Jack London NOT Call of the Wild
