Really? At least in my fields (programming languages, networking) everyone has their articles on their homepage. You can find whatever you need by using regular Google or CiteSeer.

CS and math papers are easily available, but I was pretty shocked when I found an interesting cite to a linguistics paper on wikipedia, went to look it up, and discovered that there was no way for me to read the paper. :/ In related news, the arXiv model of making paper preprints available has great difficulty catching on in other fields because of fear among the scientists.
