I am trying to find the paper "The resistance of pure mercury at helium temperatures" by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. It was published in the Communications from the Laboratory of Physics at the University of Leiden in 1911.
This is the first publication of the discovery of superconductivity and it is cited in many texts dealing with the subject. However, I was unsuccessful in finding the actual content of the paper with the methods: My university's library catalogue, Google Scholar and Google. I even tried the catalogue of Leiden University, but no luck there either.
Due to the significance of the paper and the fact that Leiden University still exists, I am fairly certain that the paper is not lost completely and I am just unable to find it.
Are there any other resources I can use to get ahold of this paper?

A reprint of the paper is available under DOI 10.1007/978-94-009-2079-8_15, the complete title is "Further experiments with liquid helium. C. On the change of electric resistance of pure metals at very low temperatures etc. IV. The resistance of pure mercury at helium temperatures."
I was able to find this by excluding the author's given name; this expands the search to include repositories that only track given names by the first initial.

@Dancrumb, fair enough. I originally wanted to leave it as just a comment, but figured it'd be more useful as an answer. My process: I knew that Heike Kamerlingh Onnes is usually referred to as just Kamerlingh Onnes. Googling"The resistance of pure mercury at helium temperatures" Kamerlingh Onnesgave this reprint as the first result. Since no-one had given the correct paper yet, I gave it here. Interestingly, Googling for"The resistance of pure mercury at helium temperatures" Heike Kamerlingh Onnesdoes not find the paper, which I suspect is what @schtandard did.

In the future, your university librarians are MADE for this! Don't feel ashamed to ask -- there are librarians more into archiving and cataloging, and some more into education and service.
Give as much information as you currently have, and they'll find it for you AND/OR show you how to find it yourself in the future (if it's accessible via a resource like some of those mentioned above.)

You can find the paper in this PDF.
This page says that the "Communications from the Laboratory of Physics at the University of Leiden" from June 1898 onward, were included in the Proceedings of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences (KNAW), whose website is this one.
If you search the publications by author, the results for Kamerlingh Onnes contain the top link.

This is a use-case for Sci-Hub, an open collection of papers from various journals. In this particular case, you can find your paper right here. Note that using Sci-Hub to access copyrighted materials which you do not have permission to access is illegal in certain jurisdictions. It can, however, be used legally.

@Allure No, downloading copyrighted material with Sci-Hub is illegal in Germany. If I understand everything correctly (IANAL), this paper is in the public domain since Onnes died in 1926 and copyright in Germany expires 70 years after death of the author. I think that using Sci-Hub is perfectly legal, in this case.

A reprint of the paper is available under DOI 10.1007/978-94-009-2079-8_15, the complete title is "Further experiments with liquid helium. C. On the change of electric resistance of pure metals at very low temperatures etc. IV. The resistance of pure mercury at helium temperatures."
I was able to find this by excluding the author's given name; this expands the search to include repositories that only track given names by the first initial.

While this is a handy solution for the specific paper, this doesn't really address the general question about methods for finding papers - how did you locate this DOI, for instance?

@Dancrumb, fair enough. I originally wanted to leave it as just a comment, but figured it'd be more useful as an answer. My process: I knew that Heike Kamerlingh Onnes is usually referred to as just Kamerlingh Onnes. Googling"The resistance of pure mercury at helium temperatures" Kamerlingh Onnesgave this reprint as the first result. Since no-one had given the correct paper yet, I gave it here. Interestingly, Googling for"The resistance of pure mercury at helium temperatures" Heike Kamerlingh Onnesdoes not find the paper, which I suspect is what @schtandard did.

@BrtH thanks for expanding; I took the liberty of making an edit to your answer that covers this... I think it's very instructive to note that removing the author's given name significantly improved the search results.

In the future, your university librarians are MADE for this! Don't feel ashamed to ask -- there are librarians more into archiving and cataloging, and some more into education and service.
Give as much information as you currently have, and they'll find it for you AND/OR show you how to find it yourself in the future (if it's accessible via a resource like some of those mentioned above.)

You can find the paper in this PDF.
This page says that the "Communications from the Laboratory of Physics at the University of Leiden" from June 1898 onward, were included in the Proceedings of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences (KNAW), whose website is this one.
If you search the publications by author, the results for Kamerlingh Onnes contain the top link.

This is a use-case for Sci-Hub, an open collection of papers from various journals. In this particular case, you can find your paper right here. Note that using Sci-Hub to access copyrighted materials which you do not have permission to access is illegal in certain jurisdictions. It can, however, be used legally.

@Allure No, downloading copyrighted material with Sci-Hub is illegal in Germany. If I understand everything correctly (IANAL), this paper is in the public domain since Onnes died in 1926 and copyright in Germany expires 70 years after death of the author. I think that using Sci-Hub is perfectly legal, in this case.
