9. Quotation Marks Quotation marks are used around phrases. By using quotations marks, you are telling the computer to only bring back pages with the terms you typed in the exact order you typed them. Example: “health care reform” instead of health AND care AND reform

10. Truncation Truncation means to chop off. When you truncate you chop off the end of the word, so the computer can search for multiple endings. For example, your research question includes the keyword education . You can truncate education, so that the computer will find all of the word ending variations. Educat * will find: Educat ion Educat e Educat ed Educat ing
