That’s right - it’s Boolean time! I look forward to seeing how you’ll use these powerful search operators in assignment 2. Remember the goal of this assignment is to focus on developing your search skills using boolean operators, truncation, nesting as well as tuning into the power of searching by subject headings. I <heart> controlled vocabulary and I hope you’ll grow to love it, too.
Want to learn even more about creating effective searching? Check out some of these tutorials:

I also came across this article from lifehack.org. What do you think? Agree, disagree? Let me know - this may be something you could bring up in one of your reflective research log entries or feel free to comment below.
And the Powerpoint from today’s class is available here: Slides.
