arXiv (
http://www.arxiv.org/
), formerly known as xxx.lanl.gov, is a huge preprint archive. It started as a physics preprint archive, but it now covers also mathematics and computer science.
PhysNet (
http://www.physnet.net
), Physics' departments and documents
HAL (
http://hal.ccsd.cnrs.fr
) is a french server for depositing scientific papers, it covers physics and other disciplines available from arXiv and has a write through to arXiv for those papers. But it is open for any scientific discipline.
citeulike (
http://www.citeulike.org

ro If you know the title of the paper you're looking for, then enter it into google with '+ pdf'. If it's at all popular, it's out there.
VL It will also be on the internet if the author is computer savvy enough and interested in 'publishing' it, and yes I use Google. If you don't know the name of the paper, go to a university library site; they tend to have subscriptions to abstract databases and such that are free to search.
DKF: Google Scholar (
http://scholar.google.com
) is pretty good.
