Finding an aticle using it's DOI
I am probably the last person in library-dom to have figured out how to locate an article using it's DOI (digital object identifier). The topic of DOI's probably warrants more of a discussion but it's 4:15 p.m. on a Friday and it's not going to happen now. But, just in case I wasn't the last person on the planet to figure this out I thought I'd document it here for posterity:
In your browser type
http://dx.doi.org/.
It's that easy!

One of my favorite comic strips is
Unshelved by Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum. The strip takes place in a public library but the themes are near and dear to any librarian's heart. A few months ago
this strip was published and it really struck a chord. How many of our patrons immediately go to the Internet when looking for information when an old-fashioned reference book or journal would be the better choice?
