How to use CD-ROMs and other databases

Using AND

You can combine your search terms to try and limit the amount of material or "hits" you get, or to make them more specific to your search. To do this you can use a Boolean operator, AND.

The AND operator is used to reduce the number of hits you get. When you use AND the search engine only returns records that have all the specified terms in them. For instance if you use fish and chips the database engine will only return records with both the word fish and the word chips in them.
