		<title>DOI or No DOI: What to Do?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Library gets many questions about APA citation style, especially at the end of the quarter. While the Librarians are not APA experts, we do try to point you to helpful resources.  
A question we get frequently is:
What do I do if I can&#8217;t find a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) number associated with my article?

		<title>New, Improved LexisNexis Search</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The librarians rarely hear that LexisNexis is a learner&#8217;s favorite database. Most of the time learners open LexisNexis and immediately think:
Okay, now what the heck to I do?
Sometimes I feel the exact same way. But LexisNexis has just updated their search page, and I think they&#8217;ve made it a lot easier.
Instead of having to figure [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where did the Full Text go?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are a frequent user of PsycINFO you may have noticed a recent change: your searches find fewer full-text articles.  Instead there&#8217;s a Check Article Linker listed where the old full text link would be.
So, what&#8217;s going on?
The library recently changed our automatic settings in PsycINFO to help learners locate the breadth of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Annotations Everywhere!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been getting a lot of questions recently about annotated outlines and annotated bibliographies.  Both are ways to make familiar tools much more robust.
