Using Databases 2: Search Strategies or Boolean Logic

Once you have identified the key words to use in a database search, you need to tell the database how you want the words lined.  To do this, we use BOOLEAN LOGIC.

The three operators used are the words AND, OR, NOT

By using these operators to link the key words, we can narrow or broaden a database search.

For more information on Search Strategies and Boolean Logic please refer to this Narrated PowerPoint.
