Often you receive a few offprint copies of your own article or review essay, but in an ongoing sense, there's no access (or not necessarily so). Libraries are pissed off by having to buy hugely expensive copies of what their institutions' faculty have published, too.

Things like http://escholarship.org are trying to shift that a bit (i.e., when you publish, retain repro rights so that you can lodge a copy in an institutional repository as well), but for eScholarship's case in particular, I have to say that most participants begin from a position of relative privilege already.
