Without the library admittance, a participant’s research can be thwarted and partial, rather than the complete background portrayal of a topic. Ultimately, the researcher has four viable options: petition the journal itself for the information; move on in the research with the hope another scholar has written a similar article; contact the university to gain access to that particular journal; move on to another university’s library and hope they have the needed source. Frequently, however, time-constraints play an important role in the researcher’s options and may prohibit the researcher from having enough time to petition the journal or university to gain access within the necessary time length. Therefore, despite the facilitated methods of the Internet, I will argue that online access to premiere search engines (those engines designed to access numerous large and influential journals in a specific genre) and the online journals themselves can be too exclusive or require too-pricey memberships for the average researcher. What implications does this have on a given research paper? Doesn’t this gatekeeping diminish the finished quality of the paper? Analyzing the implications the research difficulties have upon the researcher and his or her final product can aid future researching ventures and the information institutions that support them. I propose that an affordable temporary membership be made available to any researcher, whether he be affiliated with a university or not. The premiere search engine or journal should determine the intricacies of the membership, but every membership should include complete access to all full-text articles within that journal.
