Info Lit Tip #1

Boolean Operators

AND  /  OR  /  NOT


Check out the Boolean Machine to see how they work.

Read this ProQuest handout on Boolean operators.

Boolean searching info from Library of Congress.

Boolean operators are used in your searches to narrow (AND), broaden (OR), and refine your search by excluding items (NOT).

Come to one of the library's information literacy workshops to learn more.
