DOI Video for Researchers

We just came across this helpful video

http://tinyurl.com/doivideo

It was posted last year by Kansas State University Librarian Sara K. Kearns. It shows how researchers can use DOIs to locate the articles they need. She posted it in response to the American Psychological Association's (APA's) decision last year to include DOIs for electronic resources in their style guide. Nice work, Sara.

The video shows copying a DOI into Google to find its article. We would add that you can locate the article for any DOI by typing http://dx.doi.org in front of the DOI in your browser's address bar.
