J.Chromatography articles

Dear colleagues,

Due to my restricted access to the articles in J.Chromatography A, I have an appeal to you. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
My field of work is pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. At work I have access to many journals via HINARI base, but this access doesn't include J.Chromatography A.
I have an access to J.Chromatography B (for biomedical applications) but very restricted (only abstracts) access to some basic chemical/chromatography journals, such as J.Chromatography A.

I have a small list of articles on demand (from J.Chromatography) that I need for my professional improvement and work. Some of the articles are pretty old, but I still need them.

Could any of you help me regarding this issue?
Thanks in advance

Sincerely,
Zoran

Zoran,

I am no copyright expert but I think it would be a copyright violation to provide copies (hard copies or electronic) from articles unless you are entitled to do so. There are some possibilities though:
(1) Contact the author of the article to get a free re-print. That might be hard for older articles.
(2) At some university libraries you can purchase articles for a fee (they will send it in the mail or as pdf).
(3) You can buy the article directly from the journal.
(4) You can visit your nearest university that shelves the journal you are interested in and make copies.

Zoran,

no need to apologize and it was not an inconvenience! I did respond mainly because lately I was dealing with some of these issues myself. If you need some additional information, contact me at
