Boolean Logic, et al.

Boolean logic is used when researching. It is the process of putting like ideas together in a search engine to gather certain information using the terms: AND, NOT, and OR.

I've always struggled using this researching method, because I always forget where and when to use brackets, and when to use each term. Now that I've looked farther into it, however, I will probably try using it again. It makes researching a lot less tedious if the information you need comes first, rather than filtering through pages and pages of unhelpful search results.

Especially now that I've seen a few lectures on Boolean logic, I've grasped how to use it better. For my research plan, my partner and I used Boolean logic to find our sources, which made the researching process very easy. Now that I've practiced using it, Boolean logic is a breeze.
