"or" and verb

Hi, what should be the verb? I thought when you have words that are connect with the word "or," the verb should go along with the latter subject and not the first one.

Ideas or information that is/are used as a basis for a book.

You're right.

Ideas or information that is/are used as a basis for a book. -- So use the singular, "is."
