As many of us already know, Google has special search engine for search of scientific publications - Google Scholar. As a specialised version of Google search engine, Scholar provides many useful features:
- you can search the specified articles and exclude patents;
- search within defined dates is possible;
- search only articles in the following subject areas;
But the real treasure is hidden in Scholar Preference page: at the bottom of the page you find Bibliography Manager and (that is the pearl) Show links to import citations into option.
That's it! Select it and start searching - any book or article. For instance, let's find Trigonometric series Handbook. Now look carefully at the bottom of the results:
Cited by 3597 - Related articles - All 6 versions - Import into BibTeXThat's right - we can instantly get a BiBTeX file and paste it in our favourite BiBTeX manager. It saves a great deal of time for me, so I hope that it would be useful for you, too.

Further than that, if you use BibDesk bibliography management software, you can search google scholar within the software, and you get a neat IMPORT button for each reference you find in google scholar. That imports directly into your BibDesk (bibtex) library. Super convenient!

I don't use that but anyway thanks for the hint!
A little word of warning: it is not a guarantee that Google Scholar is 100% accurate in that links - take care and check them anyway.
