Panopto video on locating a book using FindIt@Bham (includes sub-titles):
'AND' narrows a search to material about separate aspects of the topic, not just one or other
'OR' broadens a search: think of 'either OR'; it brings synoyms or alternatives together
In a FindIt@Bham advanced search, the drop-down to the left of the second and further search bars is set to 'AND'
This can be changed if required
Boolean operators can be used within a single search line, such as: academic OR university OR student
Note the filters on the right of the list of results
Try using, for example, Peer-reviewed journals under Availability
Note that you can click the pin icon to the right of any result in FindIt, to save it to your Favourites.
Then select the pin icon at the top right of the screen to view these Favourites.
These will be visible as long as you are signed in to FindIt with your University login.
