Tips for Searching             Print Page
  
 

Boolean Logic - And, Or, Not

 

Connecting words such as AND, OR, NOT will help you to expand or limit your search by tying synonyms and bringing together the different concepts of your topic.

EXAMPLE: discriminat* AND (women* OR female*) AND (work OR employ* OR job*)

 
 

Truncation

A search technique that allows you to search for multiple endings of root words.  The *  is the truncation symbol for most databases. 

(Example: critic* will find results with critic, critics, critical, criticism, etc.)

 

Finding Full-text Material -- Find it! @ SJU!

The Find It @ SJU! button will appear on a record if the title is not full-text within a particular database (if, for example, only the title and abstract are available through the database, not the entire article). 

To see if we have access to the item, in print or in another database electronically, click on the Find It @ SJU! button.  A window will pop up and direct you to the resource, if available, 

Please, don't hesitate to search our catalog for journals that might be in print, and if we don't have access to a particular article, don't hesitate to use Interlibrary Loan.
