I tried to search online, but all seems need to pay for it.. Is there any free journals articles whereby i can download and have it? and library journals…..?
The previous poster is right that the best source for free access will be through whatever local libraries (national, public, and/or college) you have in your area. Many these days offer online access to journal article databases you can search as a member.
Other than that, I like a service called the Directory of Open Access Journals which puts together links to free online journals:
http://www.doaj.org/
If by "library journals" you mean those for those studying library science, they have a list of those at:
http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=subject&cpid=129
Also, there is a simple search which lets you search the text of the journals as well for topics:

There are a few other similar sites as well. Here’s a good article reviewing them:

Hopefully those will help you out. This is quite a controversial topic in academia these days (the desire of scholars to publish their works openly vs. the publishers who want to make money from the content/peer review process.) The end result being it’s still a challenge to easily access free online journal articles if you aren’t affiliated with a good library.
