Google Books
One of the ways I use Google Books is to try to find works that are out of copyright.
I asked for a link to be made from VU Library catalogue to Project Gutenburg's full-text copy of Homer's The Iliad as this book was on the reading list in a sport history unit.
Mind you, I'd hate to read a whole book on screen but it is handy to be able to do it if you need to.
Google Scholar
I use Google Scholar often at work.
Not only are results limited to educational or non-commercial sites but I like the function of setting "Scholar Preferences" to:
Library Link which means that search results can link to full-text from VU's subscribed databases and e-books
It was interesting to read background information about how people might actually use libraries more because of this linking service from the web
Bibliography Manager which allows the direct import/export of the web citation into EndNote
