Here's an example that I came across searching Google and not Scholar while
trying to verify a citation for ILL:
"Making sense of sensitive skin"
The second hit will get you a reference in Contact Dermatitis. We subscribe
to this title so I got directly to the article and discovered my hit in a
footnote. (A poster session at a conference, good luck ILL!) I'm curious
what a non-subscriber would see. Presumably they would just be bewildered
by this result, when in fact this gave a very good answer to the question
that I was trying to answer.
