Sometimes you'll be browsing the web, come across that perfect article…and hit a paywall. Always check the NEIU Libraries catalog to see if we have a subscription to the content. (In a future video, I'll explain what to do if we don't.)

Highlights:

  • Don't pay for an article on the web – the library may already have a subscription.
  • Digital Object Identifiers are a quick and easy way to search our catalog.
  • Library subscriptions are priced differently than individual subscriptions, so we often get our content through aggregator databases.
