1.      When you want to search for records that contain both the words wind and energy type

wind and energy

If instead of energy you wanted to try power what search statement would you type in to find records that contain both the words wind and the word power?

 

Wind AND power.

 

2.      To find records which contain either the word energy or the word power (or both; in other words, at least one of those two synonyms), type the search statement.

energy or power

Similarly, if you wanted to see records containing at least one of the words sun or solar, what would be the search statement to use?

 

Sun OR Solar

 

3.      Searching for books on wind energy, we definitely want the word wind to be there, and either the word energy or the word power - possibly both - to be there as well. So we type:

wind and (energy or power)

Applying this method to solar energy next, (instead of wind energy) we would type:

(sun or solar) and (energy or power)

Next, you are looking for resources on the economic aspects of obtaining energy from the oceans.

 

(ocean or sea) and (energy or power) and economic
