UPDATE: The upgrade has been completed and all off campus links using EZproxy are working. If you encounter any trouble, please contact us.
Off campus links that use EZproxy are currently unavailable due to a system update.
You can log in directly at some publishers’ sites using OpenAthens in the interim.
Regular users of the Library’s link resolver in PubMed may have noticed a new screen when checking the availability of full-text for an article. Recent updates to the BrowZine/LibKey suite of products has brought not only this new screen but a slew of changes we hope will make getting to articles you need much easier.
When you click our link resolver icon in PubMed, you will often see a page that looks like this featuring a new variety of options to get that article, its supplemental content, or even to see the article within its issue in BrowZine:
At first it may seem like quite a lot to take in, but you have the option to automatically link to the PDF when possible. When you check that box, your preference is remembered for the entirety of your session.
Although you may have noticed it when using PubMed, this screen can be seen in all of the BrowZine/LibKey products. We have more exciting news to announce in the coming days, so stay tuned for even more streamlined ways to get the articles you need!
If you need any help with this or other Library resources, contact us.
UPDATE: Innopac is now available. Please let us know if you have any problems or need any help.
We are experiencing issues with the web version of Innopac. All other Library resources are functioning.
We will update as soon as we have more information.
The LibKey Nomad browser extension, previously only available for Chrome, can now be installed in Vivaldi, Brave, and Microsoft Edge browsers. This nifty tool enhances PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, and makes getting to the full-text of articles easy.
These newly-supported browsers allow installations from the Chrome Web Store. To install and configure the extension, follow the instructions we have available on the LibKey Nomad section of our BrowZine Libguide or see it in action on our LibKey Nomad installation video.
Please note that for Microsoft Edge you will need to allow extensions from the Chrome Web Store in order to use LibKey Nomad.
Also, since Chrome is now the default browser in Citrix, you can install LibKey Nomad to use there as well. We have a video that walks you through that process.
If you need any help with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
UPDATE: As of Wednesday morning, June 24th, the issues with EBSCO products have been resolved. If you encounter any problems, please contact us.
We are currently experiencing problems getting to all resources we get from EBSCO. This affects CINAHL, the Discovery Service, any other EBSCOhost databases, the E-Books & E-Journals A to Z List, as well as any links to EBSCO eBooks and journals on EBSCOhost.
Services are working intermittently, but we will update when the problems have been resolved.
If you need any assistance with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
UPDATE: As of Wednesday, June 24th, all links to Thieme resources through EZproxy are working correctly. If you have any trouble, though, please contact us.
We are currently experiencing problems accessing all Thieme resources through EZproxy. The publisher has been contacted regarding this issue.
If you are on campus, everything works fine.
When off campus, you can access Thieme books and journals by logging in directly using OpenAthens. For Thieme MedOne Education, use this link. The Thieme ebook Clinical Collections and all journals can be found at this link.
Once clicking either link, you will be asked to provide your full LSUHSC-NO e-mail and current password if you have not yet logged in.
We will update as soon as we have more information about this, but if you need any assistance please contact us.
UPDATE 2: As of June 2nd, this problem has been fixed. If you encounter any issues with this or any other Library resource, contact us.
UPDATE: if you need an article from a ScienceDirect journal and are unable to download it yourself, please contact us. Library staff have a workaround to get articles until this problem is resolved.
We are currently experiencing issues getting articles from ScienceDirect journals both on- and off-campus.
We will update as soon as we have more information about this problem. If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
If you’ve been using the LibKey Nomad Chrome browser extension to get quick access to articles in PubMed, those same features are now available in Scopus and Web of Science!
Now you can link directly to articles or the Library’s WebBridge Link Resolver directly from the search results in both databases. You can also view the article in the journal issue where it is published via BrowZine.
In Scopus, your search results can now look like this:
Similarly, your Web of Science results can also have these features:
To take advantage of these new features, you need to install and configure the LibKey Nomad browser extension for Chrome. Information on how to do this is available in the LibKey Nomad section of our BrowZine LibGuide. You can also take advantage of these features in Citrix by installing LibKey Nomad in Chrome in your Citrix desktop. Here is a quick video showing how to do this.
If you have any questions about this or any other Library resources, please contact us!
Taylor & Francis has very generously opened up access to the Expert Opinions and Expert Reviews series through the end of September 2020.

Many publishers are adding alternatives to access online resources, and we just want to provide a few tips to help you figure all of this out:
We are here to help you navigate the often confusing world of electronic resources, so don’t hesitate to contact us if you need any help!
If you are attempting to use any Library resources such as ebooks, journals, or databases, and have gone in through Citrix, you may wonder why you are are being asked to pay or you’re seeing something saying you need a subscription.
Even though you are in Citrix, you may still have to prove to publishers that you have permission to access the resources. Unfortunately, Citrix doesn’t always send that information along, so it’s important you use a link from the Library’s site or create one in order to guarantee you can get to what you should.
One key thing to look for is whether the link you’re following has “ezproxy.lsuhsc.edu” anywhere. If it does, then you’re good to go! If it does not, you may not be able to get to the resource you need. You can fix this, however, by running the link to the resource you need through our magical off campus link maker available here: https://libguides.lsuhsc.edu/openathens/offcampuslink. Then follow these instructions:
If you need help with this or any Library resources, please contact us.
This is just a reminder that all Library electronic resources are available off-campus. We have many walkthroughs that will help you log in wherever you might be:
Know that we are here for you, so if you need any help please contact us.

Sponsored by the School of Allied Health Professions, all proceeds will go towards purchasing educational materials for the LSUHSC Early Learning Center.
UPDATE: The problems should be fixed so Springer Protocols and journals should be available as usual via all Library links. If you run into one that is not or need any assistance, contact us.
We are currently experiencing problems accessing the Springer Protocols and all Springer journals both on campus and off campus through the Library’s EZproxy service (this would affect all links from Library pages and our Catalog).
If you need to access any Springer resources, you can do so using OpenAthens, but only when off campus. When you go to this page (https://link.springer.com/athens-shibboleth-login?previousUrl=https://link.springer.com/) under “Log in via Athens” find and select LSU Health Sciences Center. You will then need to enter your LSUHSC-NO e-mail and password, but once logged in you should be able to use all Springer resources to which the Library subscribes with no trouble.
We will update when we have more information, but if you need any help please do not hesitate to contact us.
If you tried to log in today to any Library resources from off campus, you will hopefully have noticed that the page looks a little different:
The link to log in via OpenAthens using your LSUHSC-NO e-mail and password is more prominent. If you would prefer to log in using your Library barcode and PIN, click the green bar to expand that option:
If you need help with changing your password, PIN, or anything else, click on the blue Help bar and various options for assistance will appear:
More information about off campus access can be found in a number of places. We have a page with information including a video to help, along with LibGuides about OpenAthens and off campus access. If you have any questions about this or any other Library services, please contact us.
