What I mean is that
(a) Google Scholar is a service that few people are using (just look
at the stats for repository usage)
(b) Google Scholar does a specific kind of search that returns a
specific kind of resource (a subset of the scholarly literature)
(c) it is possible that (a) and (b) are causally related

By putting the Google Scholar (and Google Books) benefits into Vanilla
Google then all the knowledge about a FRBR resource is concentrated
into one place for the benefit of a very much larger audience.
