Search Tips
Use Operators and Key Words
Key words are concrete specific words that tell the library search what you need. Unlike searching on Google, you can't type a full sentence. Select just the important words.
Connect those words with operators.
- AND - Narrows search results by filtering for results that only contain both terms
- EX: Bovine Brucellosis AND control
- EX: Bovine Brucellosis AND control
- OR - Broadens search by retrieving results with either search term
- EX: Cow OR Cattle OR Bovine
- EX: Cow OR Cattle OR Bovine
- NOT - Narrows search by excluding results that contain certain terms
- EX: Brucellosis NOT human
