FREE access full-text academic journals

We really don't know when the BUDGET CUT! is the very first prior at libraries. Librarians are trying EXTRA hard to locate FREE academic journals for their students.

Here are the two popular FREE full-text articles sites:
http://www.findarticles.com/
http://www.magportal.com/

In addition to these two FREE databases, I found a very comprehensive scholarly and academic full-text database yesterday! Excited? Yes, you can access to thousands and thousands of full-text journals FREE! I have demonstrated yesterday afternoon for almost four hours. Such a good news! The database provides indexing, abstracting and full-text content to journal articles in a variety of disciplines. BUT... there is a bad news for most students. The journals are written in Japanese with or wtithout English abstracts. It is provided by Japanese National Institute of Informatics.

Try it, if you have the ability of reading Japanese. If not, at least you can read the abstract and find out what are the popular topics in your fields.
