While we are on the subject of free papers, let me point you to the web site sci-hub.tw. They have a database of almost every scientific paper ever published, and it's all free. No registration required, you just enter your search. Best way to search is with a DOI. Whether it's legal to download these papers depends on the laws in your local jurisdiction. E.g., in Norway it's legal if it's for "personal use".
Of course they have lawyers from the publishing companies going after them, so they have to change the country suffix from time to time. Right now it's .tw.
