Help and Research Tips
Whenever you have questions about information resources or library research strategies, we want to help! There are many ways to contact us:  use of the Ask a Reference Question form, visiting or calling the Reference Desk
(281-283-3910), or scheduling a reference appointment. See also our library how-to guides (Bibliotips) and research tutorials. For clarification of specific class assignments and requirements, always check with your professor.

Use the Boolean operator AND to specify that all of your search terms must appear in retrieved records.

  • children and violence

If you find too many records, further narrow your search by adding another search term or perhaps a relevant limiter (date, publication type, etc.)

  • children and violence and television

If you don't find enough, broaden your search (see Boolean OR tab above), or try removing less critical terms.
