Boolean Operators Boolean logic is about relationships between entities: AND each citation contains ALL the search terms = less resultsAND (e.g. marketing AND management = hits include BOTH terms) OR you will find documents that contain AT LEAST ONE of the specified search terms = more resultsOR (e.g. marketing OR management = hits include either term) NOT you EXCLUDE terms from your search = less resultsNOT (e.g. marketing NOT management = hits that include marketing only when it doesn‘t include management) Be careful what you exclude so you don‘t lose valuable hits! 16
