Hi everyone,
Below is some information about a search strategy:
BOOLEAN Logic is a technique that you use to research on
search engines such as Google Scholar and on databases such as EBSCO. The
following terms are used: AND, NOT, OR. For example for my podcast I
researched:
- Formal AND Informal Writing
à
This helped me to find an article regarding whether informal writing affects
formal writing or
not. So I was able to use Boolean Logic successfully.
This technique is helpful because it narrows down the
results of your search. It prevents you from reading about 100 articles, which
could be irrelevant. These three terms allow you to reach the specific and
relevant articles that you need because it forces you to use the keywords of
your research question.
After this experience, I will use Boolean Logic again
because when you’re doing an assignment with a specific due date, you don’t
have much time to read and you have to manage your time. So Boolean Logic does
help to manage your time and narrow the results of your search.
I am glad that I completed the draft transcript for the
podcast because now I have a vivid image of where I’m headed.
I hope our podcasts turn out good because we’ve been
researching efficiently!
