The Northumbria Skills Podcast is produced by the Skills Development Team at Northumbria University Library to offer support and advice with learning skills.

This episode is the second in a new series of short podcasts, an A-Z of Learning Skills. In each episode we will look at a key term in learning skills: what it means and give some advice to help you with your work. In this episode, B is for Boolean logic, we look at what Boolean logic is and how it can help you in your research. You’ll find out how the work of a 19th century mathematician led to three short words AND, OR and NOT forming the basis for modern computing and how those same words can help you find the information you need for your next assignment.

We hope you enjoy this episode – please get in touch and let us know what you think. Also, let us know if there are any learning skills terms you’d like us to cover in future episodes.

Finally, these may be unusual times for all of us but the Skills Development Team is still here to offer Northumbria Students help and advice about using the library or with your academic work. We offer remote support via telephone, email or Skype, 9am –5pm Monday-Friday. Alternatively, you can go to our collection of online learning skills support material, Skills Plus.
