It may be important to note that as of last week I have shifted from automobiles effect on society and pollution to industrialization in early Europe's effect on modern society.
Part 1:
Search term: Industrialization
Subject term(s): INDUSTRIALIZATION, INDUSTRIALIZATION & the environment, INDUSTRIALIZATION -- History, INDUSTRIALIZATION -- Social aspects, INDUSTRIALIZATION case studies.
These are all the subject terms that pertain to my interests.
Search term: Demographics
Subject term(s): DEMOGRAPHY, DEMOGRAPHIC SURVEYS, DEMOGRAPHIC databases, DEMOGRAPHIC research
Part Two:
I found this lesson helpful due to not knowing how to use either parentheses, or truncation in my search terms within databases. Previously I would type in a near-English search, but using Boolean operator and subject terms will be helpful in the future to narrow results to exactly what I want. I have no questions about Boolean search terms, I would like to know how to narrow results even more, as I usually get articles and books that do not pertain to my subject. Not having used truncation, parentheses, and largely not using Boolean operators in the past however, I may find exactly what I need to do now that I know about these techniques.
