3. Some options on access...

The first if you want electronic access and are near a University is to check with the librarian. Many libraries have open access computers for public access, although one needs to find out where they are sometimes. There may be limited use times but I generally can cover what I need in less than an hour.

Some libraries charge a fee which may or may not be nominal. I pay Princeton for access, although even Princeton has some free options albeit for limited periods.

The ACS offers 50 free papers to members. If you are not a member, but would like to consider it, and need a sponsor, PM me. They also have inexpensive packages for members for up to 500 papers.

Most of my posts here are from ACS journals because those are the ones I read, but basically I can read almost any piece of scientific literature I want with just two libraries. Rarely I have to email my son at his university for something more esoteric.
