Many articles are associated with a unique identifier that you can use to quickly track them down when searching online!
DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and PMID (PubMed Identifier) are two common identifiers you might come across. They typically look like a series of numbers or a combination of letters and numbers at the end of your citation.
If you know the DOI or PMID for the article you're looking for, click on "Get PDF by DOI/PMID" underneath the search bar on the library homepage, copy and paste the identifier, and click "find article"! If you can't find what you're looking for, reach out to a librarian for help.
