This is about time. I hate it when doing a literature search, and you can not access half of the journal articles.
Another b*tch is the IEEE - even if you are a member, you can not view the articles. But they will gladly publish your article without giving you a cent.
I luckily have access to IEEE Xplore, but a lot of the smaller universities can simply not afford it.
People in industry must also dole out an arm and a leg for an article - yet they pay for most of the research (directly or indirectly).
