I tried using Google Scholar to locate my most recently published
article: Open-Access Monograph Publishing and the Origins of the
Office of Digital Scholarly Publishing at Penn State University. It
appeared in the April 2015 issue of the Journal of Scholarly
Publishing.  Google Scholar takes me to two sites, the publisher's
site (UTP) and Project Muse. Interestingly, it does not take me to
Penn State's IR where the Green OA version of the article may be
obtained. So, in this instance, although an OA version of the article
is available, Google Scholar does not help locate it.
