UPDATE: The problem with using e-mail to log in to Library resources appears to have been fixed. However, if you run into any trouble, you can always use one of the alternate log in methods described below.
We are currently experiencing issues with the system that allows you to log in to Library resources using your e-mail. This problem also affects web mail.
All connections through Citrix appear to be working fine at the moment.
If you have a Library barcode and PIN, you can use that to log in by clicking on the green bar when you get to this screen:
You can also log in here using your LSUHSC-NO user i.d. (everything before the @lsuhsc.edu in your e-mail address) and your current password.
If you need any help with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
If you follow the Library’s link to PubMed and then want to e-mail citations, you will see an error message that will not allow you to proceed:
This is caused by the reCAPTCHA that is now required to send e-mails from PubMed not working nicely with our EZproxy system. Unfortunately, there are no plans for PubMed to make changes that will allow this functionality to work correctly when using a link to PubMed that goes through EZproxy.
If you want to e-mail articles from PubMed, you can go directly to https://pubmed.gov, perform your search, and then e-mail the articles with no problem. Unfortunately, you will lose some of the features our link to PubMed offers, such as turning on our WebBridge LR Link Resolver to check for the availability of articles in all citations in PubMed.
However, if you use the e-mail function frequently and are therefore going to PubMed directly, there are a couple of options that will help you regain some of these features lost by not using our link.
First, if you use Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, or Vivaldi browsers, you can install the LibKey Nomad extension that makes getting to the full text of articles super easy in PubMed. Check out our LibKey Nomad LibGuide for more information.
Second, you can sign up for a My NCBI account. Once you have done this, there is a setting you can change that will turn on our WebBridge LR Link Resolver icons in PubMed. More information about this setting and a video walkthrough is available on our WebBridge LR Link Resolver LibGuide.

We have some great news for all Firefox users: the LibKey Nomad extension that makes using PubMed simple and getting articles a breeze is now available for Firefox!
LibKey Nomad brings the Library’s online subscriptions to you by enhancing PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, along with many other sources. It’s easy to link to the full text of journal articles with this extension by your side.
Firefox now joins Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, and Brave in the family of LibKey Nomad-compatible browsers. We have a LibGuide that walks you through installing and configuring the extension along with showing off some of its features.
You can download the Firefox Add-On here. We also have a video that walks you through installing and configuring this helpful tool.

We are happy to announce the availability of a new product from Third Iron, makers of BrowZine, LibKey Link, and LibKey Nomad, that makes getting articles using just a PMID and DOI not only possible but also incredibly easy!
This new product is called LibKey.io and it combines the easy linking you’ve enjoyed from the other Third Iron products with our Library’s journal holdings and link resolver to make retrieving articles as simple and easy as it has ever been.
You can access LibKey.io from the Library’s homepage under the Quick Links section:
Once you click the LibKey.io link, you will see a page where you can enter a PMID or a DOI for the article you need:
Once you enter a PMID or a DOI, you will be presented with a page that typically has many options for getting that article:
In some cases or if there are no sources for the full text of that article, you will be brought to our WebBridge LR link resolver where you may find other sites where the article is available or the option to request it through Interlibrary Loan.
You can find out more about LibKey.io in this new section of the BrowZine LibGuide, including a quick video walk through. We hope you will find this new service helpful, but if you have any questions about this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
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!

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.

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!
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:
To log into electronic resources off campus, you can use either your LSU Health New Orleans full e-mail address and password or a Library barcode and PIN
