As for universities subscribing to the major journals, my old university, one of the largest in Western Canada, subscribed to them, sure. Only problem, a lot of the time, you only got the precise. Either it was too old for it to be online, or any of a number of other reasons. Then, when I went for a degree at the community college, for a program the university didn't offer, their subscriptions were a lot more limited, meaning I'm lucky if I got the title of the paper and author.
Also, interlibrary loans were a joke. If some place actually had it, it might show up some time in the next week, if no one else wanted it. Gods forbid you had to go out of province though, because you'd never see it.
