About Venn Diagram Search
Venn Diagram Searchoffers a visual representation of how search terms interact with each other
Helps users both refine their current search terms and become better researchers going forward
Searches are constructed by stringing together multiple terms separated by the Boolean operator "AND," with phrases grouped together in quotation marks
Results on the right side of the page pertain to the search as we originally constructed it (represented by the red slice in the center of the intersecting circles)
Select Clear for the ability to hover over the different segments of the diagram and see all possible search term combinations from our original query.
In our example, we can see results for:
employment AND disability
disability AND "reasonable accommodation"
employment AND "reasonable accommodation"
the terms employment, disability, and "reasonable accommodation" individually
Sort the results, save or export, turn to the specific page of a result, or start at the beginning of a given title
