Searching online seems complicated, but doesn't need to be.  To improve the quality of your search results, consider trying:

• Wildcards/Truncation 
  • Using a wildcard searches more than one form of the word.
    • farm* searches farm, farms, farmer, farming...
  • Most common is asterisk (*), but symbols vary by database.
  • Two exceptions for UK Libraries are:
    • InfoKat uses a question mark (?)
    • LexisNexis uses an exclamation point (!)
• Boolean Operators - broaden/narrow searches
  • AND narrows a search
    • agriculture AND safety yields results about agriculture and safety.
  • OR searches any of the terms
    • agriculture OR farming searches for both agriculture and farming.
  • NOT excludes term(s) following NOT
    • agriculture NOT corn will provide results about agriculture that don't include corn.

If you are not sure how something works, use the help or tips screen on the database, or contact staff at the Agricultural Information Center for assistance.
