Keyword Searching

Using AND/OR/NOT (Boolean Search Operators)
AND	Use AND to focus search and combine different aspects of your topic. Example: global health and standards
OR	Use OR to expand your search and find synonyms/related terms. Example: emergency or disaster
NOT	Use NOT to exclude a word or phrase from your search Example: disaster mitigation not United States

 

Additional Search Tips
Phrase search  - Use quotation marks to search for a particular phrase. Example: "disaster mitigation"
Truncation * - Use an asterisk to find variations of a word. Put an asterisk following the root of the word to find all variations of that word, including singular and plural. Example: resil* (finds resilience, resilient, etc.)
(Grouping/Nesting Keywords) - Use parentheses ( ) as a way to group similar search terms together. Example: (CHEs or "complex humanitarian emergencies") and prevention
