Research Tips - LSC-CyFair
Tip #38: Use the Power of the "OR" Search!
Recently, a group of LSC-CyFair students were comparing two countries on one of several topics for a research project. They could have searched for each country and the topic (e.g., education) separately. Instead, they saved time by using the OR search in the library databases and Google to get results that included at least one of the countries and their topic. Please note the different ways to enter a search in each tool that provide the best results.
Examples:
- Library Databases: (Russia OR Canada) AND education
- Google: Russia OR Canada education
