Google Scholar can be a useful tool when collecting research information.
Consider the features in Settings to make it work better with your research:
►Library Links - FindIt@TxState
►Bibliography Manager - set this EndNote (which is referring to the desktop version).
Many library databases allow searches to be limited to articles published in Peer-Reviewed journals, but this filter is not available in Google Scholar. Consult Ulrich's to find out if a journal is considered Refereed/Peer-Reviewed by searching the title of the journal.
Consider using a citation management software to help keep track of your citations for your bibliography and offers a Web and Desktop version.
