Many contemporary citation styles include permanent identifiers such as DOI or PMID.

If you know the DOI or PMID of an article, you can see if that article is available in GSU databases.

1. Start on the library homepage, then use the pulldown menu in the search box to search Journals. (See yellow highlight in the image below.)

2. Then click on DOI / PMID search. (See text circled in red on the image below.)

This will take you to the LibKey, which enabled you to search by DOI or PMID. 

3. You may need to log in with your GSU username and password if you are off campus.

4. Enter the DOI or PMID in the search box. This should reveal a link to the article if it is available through Georgia State University Library.

If it does not, you may need to place an interlibrary loan (ILL) or feel free to contact a librarian for assistance.
