Day 4

Google VS Google Scholar again.
This time much more in depth. Used tables to compare the search results.
Basically,
Google = I don't know much about my search topic, please give me more alternatives.
Google Scholar = I am a nerd, i know what i am searching, just give me what i want.
Translation
Google is for the average joe, because most of the time the average joe doesn't have any background on the topic he is searching on. Therefore he use Google to find out more about the background information.
After many searches and read ups, the average joe gained some information, then he go to Google Scholar and be a nerd, searching by authors or articals, that will gave him more information in terms of articles.
