Locating Articles Using the DOI

DOI = Digital Object Identifier

A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique set of numbers used to identify any object, usually digital articles or documents. Much like a Social Security Number identifies one person, a DOI identifies one item. This makes DOIs very useful for finding articles and should be used in citations, when applicable.

If you are trying to locate an item using a DOI, the library offers LibKey.io Search which allows you to look up articles by their DOI or PMID (a number assigned by PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's index) numbers. If the NSU library has access to the article, LibKey.io Search will take you directly to it. If we do not offer access, you can request the article by InterLibrary Loan.

The DOI Foundation offers a DOI name resolver at the bottom of their Home Page that will give you link to information about the item but may not take you to a version we have access to. This foundation manages the DOI system.
