Answer

Yes, these are techniques that can really help if you are finding too few or too many articles when you do your research. You can find that information on the More Articles and Fewer Articles tabs of the Find Articles LibGuide (link below).

More Articles tab: Look for the Boolean OR and Pearl Growing Boxes.
Fewer Articles tab: Look for the Use Boolean AND and Use Boolean NOT boxes.
