| dc.description.abstract | Are searches that use Boolean operators better than natural language (phrase) searches? Librarians are led to believe this by common practice in reference and instruction; yet, a study of the efficacy of Boolean searches reveals a sea change, especially in first-year instruction. This poster will highlight results of a study, which compared simple Boolean search queries versus natural language searches in eight popular databases. | en_US |
