It is not very clear to me what your problem is, since BibDesk supports by default fully the use of google scholar. All is just a few clicks away. However, you have to make sure Google scholar knows about your ability to access its information via BibDesk. Guick instructions: In BibDesk 1) select "Web" under "EXTERNAL" (left side bar) 2) Click on "Google Scholar" 3) Click on link Scholar Preferences (to the right of search field) 4) Go down to "Bibliography Manager" and there 5) activate option "Show links to import citations into" and from the pop-up menu select option "BibTeX" 6) Click on button "Save Preferences" Once done you should be able to simply use the import button to import Google scholar data into BibDesk. If you have another problem, you need to explain better what the difficulties really are you encounter.
