Assunto: [WEB4LIB] Google Scholar as main search

Hi all,
  We have not had much success with a small discovery tool..we are a smaller library, so, it is probably not feasible for us to acquire a more expensive discovery tool.

I was wondering if anyone has used GoogleScholar as their main search?  It seems to retrieve articles and books..and link to them...could not this be a 'discovery tool'?

Thanks for the input,
