Web vs. Library Databases
Google - difficult to verify - cannot limit to professional, scholarly literature - authority is often in doubt - much of the same information duplicated – Much of Web infomation is opinionated and biased – lack of search features - seldom is the information coming from legitimate published sources
Licensed Databases - Most databases have scholarly/peer-reviewed filter or contain only scholarly literature - more manageable number of hits - more relevant information - information comes from legitimate, quality-controlled sources - advanced search features - information originally appeared in journal articles, books ...

Boolean Operators
• And combines search terms so that each search result contains all of the terms. For example - travel and Europe - finds articles that contain both travel and Europe.
• Or combines search terms so that each search result contains at least one of the terms. For example, college or university - finds results that contain either college or university.
• Not excludes terms so that each search result does not contain any of the terms that follow it. For example, television not cable - finds results that contain television but not cable.

Proximity Searches
The proximity operators are composed of a letter (N or W) and a number (to specify the number of words). The proximity operator is placed between the words that are to be searched, as follows:
Near Operator (N) - N5 finds the words if they are within five words of one another regardless of the order in which they appear. For example, type tax N5 reform to find results that would match tax reform as well as reform of income tax.
Within Operator (W) - In the following example, W8 finds the words if they are within eight words of one another and in the order in which you entered them.
For example, type tax W8 reform to find results that would match tax reform but would not match reform of income tax.

Wildcard
The wildcard characters are represented by a question mark ? or a pound sign #. To use the ? wildcard, enter your search terms and replace each unknown character with a ?
For example, type ne?t to find all citations containing neat, nest or next.
To use the # wildcard, enter your search terms, adding the # in places where an alternate spelling may contain an extra character.
For example, type colo#r to find all citations containing color or colour.

Truncation
Truncation is represented by an asterisk (*). To use truncation, enter the root of a search term and replace the ending with an *.
For example, type comput* to find the words computer or computing. Note: The Truncation symbol (*) may also be used between words to match any word.
For example, a midsummer * dream will return results that contain the exact phrase, a midsummer night’s dream.
