Search tips for Databases
• Try using “Boolean operators” to combine search terms
• Operators are:– AND– OR– NOT
![Page 23: BIO 122: Zoology Life History Paper. Types of Resources Encyclopedias and other reference books Monographs (books) Scientific Journals Internet Websites](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7e5503460f94b8115b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Boolean Operators
“AND” combines terms so that your results will include ALL of the search terms you enter:
– whales and predators
– elephants and economic
![Page 24: BIO 122: Zoology Life History Paper. Types of Resources Encyclopedias and other reference books Monographs (books) Scientific Journals Internet Websites](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7e5503460f94b8115b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Boolean Operators
“OR” combines terms so that your results will include at least one of the search terms you enter:
– reproduction or gestation
– predators or parasites
![Page 25: BIO 122: Zoology Life History Paper. Types of Resources Encyclopedias and other reference books Monographs (books) Scientific Journals Internet Websites](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7e5503460f94b8115b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Searching the Internet
• Just like the databases, internet search engines like Google let you:
– Combine terms– Search exact phrases– Eliminate irrelevant words
![Page 33: BIO 122: Zoology Life History Paper. Types of Resources Encyclopedias and other reference books Monographs (books) Scientific Journals Internet Websites](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7e5503460f94b8115b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
![Page 34: BIO 122: Zoology Life History Paper. Types of Resources Encyclopedias and other reference books Monographs (books) Scientific Journals Internet Websites](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e7e5503460f94b8115b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Evaluating Internet Resources
• Authority– Who wrote it? What are their credentials?
• Accuracy– Is the content accurate and verifiable? Does it include
citations when necessary?
• Objectivity– Is it free of bias? Does it present a balanced argument?
Does it include advertising?
• Currency– Is the information current? When was it last updated?
• Coverage– Is the information relevant to your topic? Who is the
intended audience?

Understanding Web AddressesDifferent endings mean different things:
-.com (U.S. “commercial” site)-.org (U.S. “organization” site)-.net (U.S. “network” site)-.edu (U.S. “education” site)-.gov (U.S. “government” site)
Can these help you answer any of the five questions?
