Module 4: Tasks: Boolean Logic. Part B

1. Taking the same key words of your last search, think about how you would best search for the following.

a. The biggest number of hits relating to the key words, "being an advanced internet user."
To return the biggest number of keywords I would use or logic. Or logic would ensure that results would be returned with references to 'Advanced' and 'internet users,' not only separately but also in the same documents.

Or logic also works by returning synonymous words. So a search using or logic, could also return results with professional or exceptional as synonyms for advanced.

b. Sources relating to skills-based information on these key words.
To get the best sources relating to the key words, 'being an advanced internet user,' I would add 'tutorial' to the search. This is something I often do when I want to improve my skills in photoshop. For example, if I want information on using photoshop filters, I would simply type in 'photoshop tutorial - filter effects'. I am then given a long list of links containing really informative photoshop tutorials.

Eg: Here are the first 5 results from typing: 'photoshop tutorial - filter effects' into google.

To get information coming only from university sources I would use subject directories.
