You may have encountered situations where the library does not have the full-text article you want. Hopefully this does not happen frequently, but it does happen.
First, don't pay to access an article. The library can get article PDFs for you...you just need to let us know that you need them. Both options for letting the library know that you need the full text of an article are shown below. The first option (interlibrary loan) works for all article publishers while the second (article delivery service) will only show up as an option if the article is published by Elsevier (a large scientific publishing company).
Within 1Search, you may see articles with a "check for available services" link. Click that link, then look under the "How to get it" section for "Request from Interlibrary Loan" to place a request for that article.
In many OSU Libraries Databases and in Google Scholar, look for the 
button to open the full article.
If the library doesn't have it, request the article for free from Interlibrary Loan.
