Monica Norem suggests that students are not likely to use Boolean and
cites a sub-heading in Susan Feldman's article (Don't use Boolean
operators. Let the system do the walking) as support.
   Actually, Feldman says: "Certainly, if you can't find something,
start using other search strategies, but, especially for subject
searches, start with the "simple search"....
   It is important to teach students principles that will serve as a
foundation for further learning. What if the students you are teaching
search strategies never receive any more instruction?
   Boolean is essential because winnowing will nearly always be
necessary.
   So too, will be understanding the difference between directories and
engines and some search planning strategy (see
www.windweaver.com/searchguide.htm).
