Search Tips

Boolean operators: Most internet and electronic databases follow the rules of Boolean logic. Boolean logic refers to the relationships (connections or differences) among different search terms. The most common Boolean operators are:

OR - combines synonyms (e.g. "self-actualization" OR "self-identity"). Broadens the search to retrieve more results.

AND - links different terms together in a single search (e.g. "behavioural" AND "psychology"). Narrows the search for fewer results.

Advanced search: allows you to specialize your search based on documents (books, articles, video etc), date, geographic location, language, etc.
