Document Summary

Identity key concepts or keywords keywords may be modified as you conduct your research to avoid irrelevant material. Boolean operators: these operators enable you to logically arrange your keywords into a statement, there are three operators: and, or, and not. Or: the or operator is used between synonyms or related terms, hence when you want to retrieve either keyword, using the or operator increases the number of items retrieved, example: literacy or reading. Not: the not operator is used to eliminate unwanted concepts from search results, using the not operator decreases the number of items retrieved but not to the same extent as and, example: literacy not adult. Nesting: enclose keywords that have been ored in parentheses, such as: (literacy or reading). Phrase searching: use (cid:395)uotes a(cid:396)ou(cid:374)d ph(cid:396)ases, su(cid:272)h as (cid:862)(cid:455)ou(cid:374)g (cid:272)hild(cid:396)e(cid:374)(cid:863). Using our keywords and synonyms, we can design the following search statement: (cid:894)lite(cid:396)a(cid:272)(cid:455) or (cid:396)eadi(cid:374)g(cid:895) and (cid:894)(cid:862)(cid:455)ou(cid:374)g (cid:272)hild(cid:396)e(cid:374)(cid:863) or ele(cid:373)e(cid:374)ta(cid:396)(cid:455)(cid:895) and (cid:894)p(cid:396)og(cid:396)a(cid:373)s or i(cid:374)te(cid:396)(cid:448)e(cid:374)tio(cid:374)(cid:895)
