What are Boolean commands?
These are commands which allow you to combine search terms to broaden or limit your search. The terms supported include AND, OR and NOT. • AND combines two or more keywords, limiting your search, for example: Peacocks AND Paradise will produce results containing both these search terms, e.g. Peacocks in Paradise. • OR will produce results with either search term in the title, broadening your search, for example: Peacocks OR Paradise will produce results including Peacocks in Paradise and Paradise Lost. • NOT will exclude a term from your search, making your search more specific, for example: Milton, John NOT Paradise Lost will produce a list of works by Milton not including Paradise Lost.
