In the Library

You can search for the DOI in the Multi-Search on the library homepage. If you get zero results, it does not mean that we do not have the electronic resource, but this is a good first step to try.

On the Web

There are several free DOI lookup tools available on the Web that will allow you to look up electronic material by DOI. Try Free DOI Lookup. This website allows you to paste a DOI into their search box to be taken to the electronic resource associated with the DOI.

You can also convert your DOI into a web address to get to the location of the electronic resource by adding http://dx.doi.org/ to the beginning of the DOI (for example, http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ac0354342). If you paste the DOI web address into your browser bar, it will take you to the publisher's platform for the electronic resource, which you may or may not be able to access for free.

Try our DOI Link Generator for a quick and easy way to turn the DOI into a web address. Our DOI Link Generator will also add the Shapiro Library's authentication, which means that if we have a subscription to the resource, you will be able to access the full text using the web address it gives you.
