  4. A Lesson in Boolean Logic Power Moves to Search the Internet and Online Databases Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library

  5. But Mrs. Enders, I don’t know how to power search!!!! And there’s a TEST after this lesson…TODAY????? Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library

  6. Never fear! A Hero is Near… Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library

  7. Thank you Mr Boole! • “Boolean logic” provides a way to search for and see relationships between subjects. • AND • OR • NOT Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library

  8. Example: I need information about hunting cougars. Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library

  9. Venn diagrams show what the search result would include if you type in cougars AND attacks. ANDnarrowsyoursearch. Cougars Attacks Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library

  11. NOT narrows yoursearch.The easiest way to understand NOT is to make a Venn diagram Cougars WSU Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library

  12. COMBINE the Boolean operators to create an effective search WSU Cougars Attacks Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library

  13. Review of AND, OR, and NOT Boolean operators • All RAL students stand up. • “RAL students” AND “blue jeans” • “RAL students” AND “blue jeans” OR “straight hair” • “RAL students” NOT “athletic shoes” • “RAL students” AND attended a game last week NOT “brown eyes” Joan Enders, Resourceress, R.

In an electronic search correct spelling is crucial for searching success! Example: cats cats AND training AND zoos Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library

  16. Question 2 Transform the following into searches so you get the information you want. Circle the Boolean operators. Information on shark attacks in California *Shark attacks *California Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library

  17. A Real Example Using Amedeo Avogadro • Amedeo Avogadro • “Amedeo Avogadro” • “Amedeo Avogadro” AND biography • “Amedeo Avogadro” AND mole • “Amedeo Avogadro” OR “Avogadro’s number” • Google Joan Enders, Resourceress, R. A. Long High School Library
