Written Directions - Finding Full Text: DOI

The following directions walk you through how to use the Big Red Box on the Library's homepage to search for full text using the DOI (digital object identifier) of an article. These directions are a supplement to the video.

Finding Full Text - DOI

Step 1

Using the Big Red Box, enter the DOI for the article you want to locate and uncheck the blue "Available at Fisher" box. Press enter or select the magnifying class to search.

Hint

Save your downloaded PDF to a project folder, on your computer or Google Drive, with a new file name. The PDF will often download with a string of numbers or something else unhelpful. Use a file name that is meaningful, like the article title, so you can more easily find it later.
