Keyword Searching Principles
Keyword searching is encouraged for TruSearch and for all of the databases in PIckler Memorial Library.
Use only the keywords you need to search for your topic.  Include the Boolean operators AND,  OR,  and NOT.
AND will narrow down your search.  If you need more results, you can add synonyms to your search with the operator OR such as (college students OR undergraduates).  NOT helps you exclude terms you may not be interested in seeing, such as cardinals NOT baseball.  Boolean operators should be capitalized in TruSearch but they are not case-sensitive in other databases.

Here is more help for searching on TruSearch - http://library.truman.edu/TruSearch-Help.htm.
