Answer 1

Great answer by Dean M. for what to do if you're at a university that does not subscribe to the particular journal.

If you're not at a university, then one possible strategy would be to contact the corresponding author of the particular article you wish to access. As long as you can access the Abstract page (which is usually provided free of charge), then you should be able to find contact information for the corresponding author. Provided that it's a relatively new publication, that author will likely have an electronic version of the paper (probably as a PDF) that he or she will be happy to send to you via e-mail. I certainly always respond favorably to any such requests for my articles, regardless of whether they are from colleagues or junior students.

Answer 2

If you're at a university doing this research, see if your library is a part of an interlibrary exchange program.  This is where libraries can borrow materials (or have a xerox copy made of a specific article) from each other for no charge, or at least a lower change than online sites.  Another library in the system may subscribe to the journal you're looking for.
