Why is this site asking me to pay for articles?

Answer

It seems that you encountered a subscription paywall. If you search for articles using Google or another search engine, you might come across journal websites that ask you to pay in order to download or read an article. This is a subscription paywall which means that you either need to personally pay for access, use DMACC's subscription databases, or use a service like Interlibrary Loan. 

Always check the library's databases to see whether DMACC Libraries have access. If the library does not subscribe to a journal or have access, we can work with you to find other options to access the article. Please contact a campus library.
