These are questions on the Information Literacy quiz. See below for help discovering the answers.

1. Which search string will result in the fewest results?

I'm including a link to a video tutorial on Boolean Searching -- using AND, OR, and NOT to connect concepts to either narrow, broaden, or restrict a search. This video should help you answer this question.

2. What is the best way to find Literary Criticism?

You will want to look at the Research Databases on the Library A-Z Database page https://libguides.hiu.edu/az.php. Since you want to find Literary Criticism you will want to see the list of English (Literature) databases. Select "English (Literature) in the Research Databases drop down box (Select a subject area...). If you know the databases on this list, you should be able to answer the question on the quiz.
