Enter search terms in the search box on the library's homepage, hit search.

On the left of the results page under "Refine your results > Sort", the "Open Access" filter appears under "Availability". Click on "Open Access" to retrieve OA articles. 

Additional articles available without a paywall can be found in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) https://doaj.org/ 

More more information, take a look at the Scholarly Communications/OA at AU Subject Guide.

 

The open lock icon indicates OA articles.
