Recently the policy of the UL library has changed and right now it is not possible to directly download the scientific papers just by clicking on "Full text".
So, if you want to download, let's say, this paper (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/343/6171/624.full.pdf) you should connect to the web site of the UL library (http://www.bibl.ulaval.ca/services/acces-aux-ressources-electroniques), generate a link, copy it on a new tab, click enter. After that you can finally read your paper.
I was tired of all these tabs and links! So, today I spent 30 minutes of my life to write a small php page where you provide the URL of your article and you are directly redirected to the paper you want to read (you do not need to generate links, open tabs, etc.).
I am aware it is not a big improvement, but I find it cool and can be useful for some people! Here is the address: http://www.bio.ulaval.ca/landrylab/shir/
If you know other (and faster ways) to download the papers, please keep me posted! :)
