Research Hints

Remember these two BIG tips:

1. Use quotes when searching to keep phrases together. Also, try to be as specific as possible. For example, instead of civil war, search for "American Civil War"

2. Use Boolean operators (AND OR NOT). You may also substitute their symbols:

For AND, use the plus sign +
For NOT, use the minus sign -

When searching in Google, remember to place the symbols right next to the search term. This is especially helpful with the minus sign:

Washington -George
