Sometimes I have trouble finding particular papers. Does anyone have any general suggestions?

I find myself in this situation frequently: An author references a paper. I find it on MathSciNet and read the abstract. I then realize I want to read the paper. Then I cannot find the paper.

Is there any better approach besides just using Google Scholar, Google, the author's webpage, JStor and MathSciNet? I am at a University, and have some access to catalogues.

Specifically I wanted to read this but I can't seem to do it online.

Thanks a lot!

Update: I ended up finding the paper by talking to a Professor I know who had a PDF on hand. None of the links below lead to the correct paper, which is why I have not accepted an answer.

    SpringerLink is also worth considering since you're at a university and probably have access to it.2011-05-23

    Dear Eric, Just to clarify (inspired by @GEdgar's answer); is the issue here that your library doesn't carry the relevant journal, or in your question, is "cannot find the paper" synonymous with "cannot find the paper online"? Regards,2011-05-23
