Hi, I have access to those articles in hard copy....but takes a weekish...so if you can wait that long?

I have tried asking the authors for the paper by email and it has worked sometimes although others ignored me... but I think it is a good idea to try that.

You can also order any paper via your library.
It takes few days to get them.

Once I directly asked to the authors, because it was in august, the library was closed, and I was writing my theses.
the authors sent it to me very quick. They were very kind.

all contributions are helpful, here an addition:

try to screen the homepage of your author; some linked their papers to their homepage; contacting the author is a good idea, as suggested, however, my experience is that ca. only 3 of 5 requests are answered
