Cherry Stoner, Part 2

Back in September I posted about the benefits of using a highly specialized database to look up terms that would definitely retrieve questionable results with a broader search on Google.

I almost fell into the same trap on Friday with a search for airstrips.  I had asked the students to come up with synonyms for this term, which in turn we would use for a grey literature search in the advanced search on Google.  Now wasn't I lucky that no questionable results were found in class.
