Remember Boolean Operators
AND
Searches using AND yield results containing all of the search terms. Using AND has the effect of narrowing the search. For example, you could use "Toni Morrison" AND "Nobel Prize" to find Morrison's Nobel Prize acceptance speech.
OR
Searches using NOT exclude the following term or parenthetical expression. For example, you could find items titled Beloved, while excluding work related to Toni Morrison, by using Beloved NOT "Toni Morrison."
NOT
Searches using NOT exclude the following term or parenthetical expression. For example, you could find items titled Beloved, while excluding work related to Toni Morrison, by using Beloved NOT "Toni Morrison."
