"Google Scholar certainly isn't a tool that any self-respecting scholar would use all or most of the time to find information."
Certainly not. However, I'm currently doing some pretty heavy research and have found Google Scholar to be an invaluable tool in looking up references I already know exist. Frequently after reading a paper I'll want to fish its references list for more reading, and a simple Google Scholar search of a few key words in the title and the author's last name brings up a direct link to a PDF of the paper almost every time. Now that's useful!
