Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) affect your keyword search results. If you do a search in Quick Search for books using the search phrase graffiti AND Los Angeles, you'll retrieve about 10 records for books. If you re-do that search as graffiti OR Los Angeles, you will broaden your search results (retrieve more records). Why is this so? Booleans give you more control over your keyword search results. OR is useful when you need to search synonyms or variant forms of a word. Because using AND always narrows search results. OR will show results containing either one or all of the search terms. Using Booleans narrows your search results.
OR will show results containing either one or all of the search terms.

Your roommate has finished writing a paper, and asks you to read it and provide comments. In the paper, your roommate has used some content from French Art Treasures at the Hermitage, by Albert Kostenevich. You ask to read the original source to verify whether your roommate has paraphrased properly, or committed plagiarism. Original source material: At the time of the fall of the Russian empire, the capital contained a considerable number of paintings by 19th-century European artists - in the royal and Grand-Ducal palaces, in aristocratic residences and simply in wealthy households. Many of them found their way into the museums. The Soviet authorities quickly expropriated any items of artistic value, whether they belonged to the Tsar, the Church or the propertied classes. Nationalisation, often a euphemism for robbery, cannot be excused even when it has a solid ideological foundation. Your roommate wrote: Famous art collections and even museum collections have often been built through robbery. It's widely known, for example, that the 1917 Russian Revolution forced the wealthy into exile. According to art critic Albert Kostenevich, "Soviet authorities quickly expropriated any items of artistic value" from them, as part of a "nationalisation" agenda. Stolen artworks like these "found their way into museums," (1) as Kostenevich euphemistically states. French Art Treasures at the Hermitage, Albert Kostenevich. Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1999; p. 19. Paraphrased incorrectly - what your roommate wrote inappropriately contradicts the original. Paraphrased correctly - true to the source and appropriately reworded and cited. Paraphrased correctly - changed the wording to be different from original. This is an example of plagiarism. Paraphrased correctly - there's no need to cite the article since it's free online.

You are researching the history of Iowa just after becoming a state in 1846. One of the information sources you have found on this is a history book written in 1908.
