CRAAPP TEST

Welcome

Welcome!

This guide will help you find quality published resources via the library.

Basic strategies and tutorials are presented here. Also the CRAAPP test and other evaluation materials are here to aid with your Information Literacy Assignment.

If you are stuck with anything pertaining to your research please let me know.

Questions about your assignments or the course in general should be directed to your instructor.

-Mr. Johnstone

Math... with words!

Keyword searching using Boolean logic is is a way to link keywords together in little mathematical expressions. 

 

AND

A search for “Pirate and Ship” will find results with both words present.  This works well when looking for two different ideas together.

 

OR ‘or is more’

A search for “Pirate or Buccaneer” will find results containing one term, or the other, or both terms together.  This works well for words with similar meaning.

 

NOT

A search for “Pirate not Baseball” will find results with the first term only.
