On Wednesday, February 14, 2024, at 11pm, INNOPAC, the Library Catalog, will be unavailable for a couple of hours. The outage is necessary for a system update.
The majority of Library resources will still be available during this time.
Please contact us if you need any assistance.
We have received reports that alumni are being informed they can access Library resources online once they receive an alumni email account. This is incorrect. Alumni do not have access to the Library’s online resources and subscriptions.
Alumni who have been issued an alumni email cannot access Library resources due to licensing restrictions.
If you need any more information or have any questions, please contact us.
The major project on the 5th Floor of the Library to create space for an IT data center has reached a milestone. We have completed shifting the print journal collection, so the floor will be markedly quieter for a while.
The next phase of the project, which will entail clearing and tearing down of the shelving on the Prieur Street side of the floor, is tentatively scheduled to commence in the summer. We will post signage warning of increased noise and commotion once we have a better idea of when these next steps will start.
Although the print volumes have been removed, we still have some work to do for the affected journals’ records in our Library catalog. If you need assistance locating a print journal, please don’t hesitate to ask for help.
If you have any questions about this or any other Library services and/or resources, please contact us.
UPDATE: The problem has been resolved and the catalog is back up and running as usual.
Thursday, December 14, 2023: After an outage earlier this morning, we are experiencing slowness with the Library Catalog/INNOPAC. We have reported the issue to the vendor, and will update when we have more information.
In the meantime, you can search for the majority of the books and journals we have online through the E-Books & E-Journals A to Z List, or contact us if you need any assistance.
UPDATE: The problem appears to be fixed as of 2:45pm 12/11/2023, but if you encounter any problems please contact us.
If you are trying to access a Wiley book or journal with a link that goes through our EZproxy system, those are currently not working correctly. All EZproxy users are experiencing this problem, and it affects links to Wiley titles in the Library’s catalog and the E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List. In all instances, there is a Cloudflare connection check, and the EZproxy links are stalling and will not redirect to the content after logging in.
Until this problem is fixed, you can access Wiley journals and books directly by using OpenAthens.
Start at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com. When at the Wiley site, click Login/Register on the right of the screen:
Next, click on Institutional Login at the bottom right of the box:
Then, click on Sign in with your OpenAthens account:
On the next screen, enter LSU and click on LSU Health Sciences Center Library:
Then you will be able to enter your LSUHSC-NO full e-mail address and current password, after which you can access all of the Wiley titles we have access to through our subscriptions.
If you are attempting to get to an article in a Wiley journal from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, etc., those links appear to be working as expected.
We will update when we have more information about this issue, but if you need any help with this or other Library resources please contact us.
Due to low use, we will not be renewing our subscriptions to the following journals for 2024:
Also, the following titles are moving to new publishers, but we will not be subscribing to them for 2024 because of low use:
Articles published in 2024 from any of these journals may be requested through our Interlibrary Loan service.
If you need help with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
UPDATE: Logging in using an email or via OpenAthens at publishers’ sites is working again.
Wednesday, December 6, 2023: Logging in using your LSUHSC-NO email address to use Library resources is currently unavailable. The OpenAthens service is experiencing an outage, and that is preventing us from using that option both through our EZproxy service and directly at publisher’s websites.
Until this problem is resolved, there is an alternate way to log into Library resources. When you see this screen, click on the green bar:
Then, enter your username (without the @lsuhsc.edu), and your current password in the two boxes:
We will update when we have more information about this problem, but if you need assistance please contact us.
The following Springer Publishing journals will be unavailable on December 5, 2023, from 8am until noon for system maintenance:
If you need assistance with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
UPDATE: The OpenAthens issue has been resolved, so logging in with emails via EZproxy and directly at publisher sites is working again.
Original Post: There are problems with the OpenAthens service that is preventing using an email to log into Library resources both through EZproxy and directly at publishers’ sites.
They are working on the problem as it is affecting all users, so until that time when you land on the EZproxy login page, expand the green box and enter your username (without the @lsuhsc.edu part) and your current network password:
Please remember barcodes are no longer accepted.
We will update when we have more information, but if you need assistance to get into any Library resources, please contact us.

We are happy to report that through the great generosity of Quintessence Publishing we are able to provide easier access to their journals.
Now, instead of having to log in with a password, you can get to the full text of Quintessence journals by logging in via EZproxy when prompted. The records in our online catalog for the affected journals are updated to reflect this change, and you can get to those journals by clicking on the links on this page.
There are some issues with the links on the E-Books & E-Journals A to Z List, but we will have these updated to use the new access method as soon as we can.
This new access method is accompanied by a revamp of many of the Quintessence journal sites. There are a couple of things to look out for when trying to access the full text of articles on these new pages.
First, to get the PDF of an article, click the “Full Text” link underneath the article’s title to the left, and ignore the greyed out PDF link to the right:
Second, to browse through the issues of a title, scroll down when on the journal’s main page:
We hope this makes accessing content from the Quintessence journals easier. We would also like to thank Quintessence Publishing for their generosity in providing complimentary access to many of the journals we receive from them.
If you need help with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
With the start of the new semester and the welcoming of new and returning students, we’d like to share a tip that will hopefully make getting your daily work done much easier. When on campus, please make sure to choose LSUHSC-Secure as the WiFi network.
If you somehow connect to Eduroam, LSUHSC-Visitor, or any of the other available networks, you will not be able to access Library resources easily nor print to the PayPaw system. You can also ensure you do not connect to any of these networks by unchecking “Connect automatically” if it is selected.
For those using Macs, you can set LSUHSC-Secure as your preferred network.
If you need assistance, please contact us.
For those who are new to campus or are returning from summer break, the 5th Floor is now home to a major project to remove over 30,000 bound volumes and shift the entirety of the remaining 90,000+ volumes to make room for a new IT data center. As our previous project diaries show, this continues to be an involved, chaotic, and, at times, very loud undertaking. There is an illustration at the top of the stairs on the 5th Floor showing what areas are affected and describing more about this project.
The past few days, though, have been ones to make magicians jealous with the quick disappearance of thousands of volumes.
Some may have been in awe of The Stack on the 5th Floor:
By Tuesday morning, August 8, The Stack was no more:
However, with an additional 7,000 or so volumes still needing removal, The New Stack will arise in its place.
If you have any questions about this project or need assistance with any Library resources, please contact us.
UPDATE: Please see our post from September 15, 2023, regarding resolution of this issue
Quintessence Publishing recently updated their website, and we are having problems logging into the online content for journals on the new site. Most links from the records in the catalog go to the old site, where the logins work correctly. However, if you are redirected to the new site, please note you are unable to log in to get articles.
We are working with our subscription agent to resolve the issue and will update when we know more.
Please let us know if you need help with this or any other Library resources.
As the project to make room for the IT Data Center continues, please be aware that the events affecting a certain kingdom have now spread to the 5th Floor of the Library.
Gloom Hands were encountered this week near a stack of journals to be removed:
As soon as this menace was handled, just around the corner another threat was faced:
Your intrepid Library staff dispatched of these nuisances, but please be careful as you go about the floor.
Room continues to be made where the shifting of the journals progresses:
Please remember that as this project continues, there will be additional noise and a lot of commotion throughout the 5th Floor during weekdays.
If you have any questions about this or need assistance with any Library resources, contact us.
