*EDIT* With no power or AC, the Downtown Library closed at 3:15pm. Hopefully we’ll have power again to reopen at 7:30am on 7/20/2021.
The main chat and e-mails for the Library are unavailable because of the power outage affecting the Downtown Campus. Staff is still on site and can be reached via phone.
UPDATE: The link resolver is again working in both the new and classic versions of Web of Science. However, if you wish to use LibKey Nomad with Web of Science, you will need to use the instructions below on how to access the classic version.
The WebBridge LR link resolver is currently not working in both versions of Web of Science. This problem has been reported and we will update when the functionality has been restored.
The new version is now the default view for Web of Science and LibKey Nomad does not work with it now, unfortunately. With the link resolver not working in either version, getting to full text of articles is a bit more difficult, but you can still access the old version of Web of Science where LibKey Nomad works fine,
To get to the classic version of Web of Science click on the Products menu to the right of the screen; there you will see the link for Web of Science (Classic):
If you need assistance with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
The Library will not renew our institutional subscription to Read by QxMD, so you may see reduced functionality starting in June. You will still be able to set subject alerts and share articles, but getting to full text will be slightly more difficult.
If an article is available for free, you will be able to access it with no trouble. However, if a subscription is required to view the full text, you may be asked to log in. Please remember that the Library is a member of the OpenAthens federation, so you will be able to use your LSUHSC-NO e-mail and password to log in to publishers who support that option.
We are still maintaining full access to BrowZine, and it can also be accessed via desktop or mobile applications.
If you have any questions about this or any other Library services, please contact us.
The Libraries are happy to offer a virtual screening of the film “Picture A Scientist” focusing on the challenges of minorities and women in the sciences. You can find out more information about it at https://www.pictureascientist.com.
The film will be available to view online at any time from Friday, April 30, 2021, through Sunday, May 2, 2021.
You will need to register at https://forms.office.com/r/tcGKjHG5JD to view the film. Once registered, you will receive another message with the link and login information to watch the movie online at any time you choose during the viewing window.
We hope you are able to attend, and if you have any questions please contact us.
If you prefer to search ScienceDirect for articles, books, or journals, please remember that we do not have access to everything that is available there. You can, however, do a couple of things to help you see what we do have access to that will make things easier.
If you’re searching ScienceDirect for a topic, when you get the search results look on the left side of the screen and select the box for “Subscribed journals”:
This will ensure that you can get the articles from journals we subscribe to and you will not run into any request to purchase the article.
If you prefer to browse for a book or journal, there is a similar setting you can use to just display those items you will be able to access. After clicking “Journals & Books” at the top of the page, the full list of titles on ScienceDirect will be displayed. On the left you have three options to limit that list:
We recommend that you choose “Subscribed & complimentary” to make sure you see books and journals you can get to:
Hopefully these tips will help make searching ScienceDirect a little easier. One important point to remember, though, is that when you’re searching ScienceDirect you’re just looking at the books and journals that are published by Elsevier and any societies that choose to have them host the society’s content. We also have access to Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science, which, along with PubMed, are among the many databases we offer that will search a variety of sources and publishers.
Another way to help you get to free articles and those we have access to through subscriptions when using ScienceDirect is the LibKey Nomad Browser extension. When in ScienceDirect, you will see an icon that says “Download PDF” for those articles you have access to:
You can find more information about this handy tool on our LibKey Nomad LibGuide.
If you need help with searching or any other Library services, please contact us.
If you need some guidance on how to use resources in Moodle or any course work, please join us on Thursday, March 18, 2021, at noon for IT Office Hours. Our presentation “Using Library Materials In Online Courses” will have information on what should and should not be used, how to locate Library materials for courses, and tips on creating links to resources.
Join Marlene Bishop, John Bourgeois, and Rebecca Bealer at the session where they will also be available to answer any questions you may have regarding using Library resources. Additionally, IT staff will be on hand to address any other issues you may be having.
You can find a link to add the session to your calendar on the IT Office Hours page, as well as recordings of the previous presentations.
We hope to see you there!
UPDATE: The upgrade is complete and EZproxy is running as normal. However, if you encounter any troubles please contact us.
Original post: Off campus links that use EZproxy will be unavailable on Tuesday, March 9, 2021, starting at 7am due to a system update.
You can log in directly at some publishers’ sites using OpenAthens in the interim.
We will update when the update has been completed.
It can be a struggle getting to articles when searching PubMed. Although we suggest you use our link to PubMed that turns on our link resolver, we know that’s not always the most convenient way. There is, however, a nifty little tool that makes getting articles in PubMed really easy.
LibKey Nomad is a handy browser plugin that enhances PubMed and brings the Library’s journal holdings to you. It is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Vivaldi, and Brave browsers.
When installed, you will see PubMed come to life with new links to articles:
You can get to articles directly from your search results, so no more clicking back and forth to view the abstract and then see if we have access to that article!
Installing LibKey Nomad is easy. Just start at https://libkeynomad.com and then choose your browser. Once you’ve installed it, search for LSU and then choose “LSU Health Sciences Center”:
Now you’re good to go and you’ll wonder how you ever searched PubMed without LibKey Nomad.
The benefits of LibKey Nomad are not exclusive to PubMed; if you search Scopus or Web of Science, this tool also works with those sites.
More information about setting up and using LibKey Nomad can be found on our LibGuide. However, if you need any information about this or any other Library resources please contact us.
The Libraries will close at noon on Monday, February 15th due to weather conditions.
The Libraries are also already scheduled to be closed on Tuesday, February 16th for Mardi Gras in an LSU System-mandated holiday.
Both Libraries will reopen on Wednesday, February 17th at 8am.
There is a plumbing issue on the 5th Floor of the Library. As a result of the measures that will need to be taken to fix the problem, there will be a lot of noise and movement on the floor for the foreseeable future.
Journals have been relocated in order to accommodate the necessary demolition and repairs. If you need assistance retrieving a print journal for anything from Journal of Toxicology Toxin Reviews through Journal of Vascular Surgery or Tissue and Cell through Virchows Archiv, please ask Library staff for assistance.
Also, please avoid sitting in the immediate area as it will not be conducive to studying.
All of this has been caused by coffee grounds poured down a sink. The moral of this story, then, is to find more appropriate places to dispose of coffee grounds other than a sink because you never know what it might cause.
The Library was able to add a current subscription to and purchase the available backfiles for ASHA Perspectives. You can now read all of the Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups from 2016 to present.
You can also access the archives of all 19 sections of the ASHA Special Interest Groups. Most are available for 1997 through 2015.
We hope these additions will be of help, but if you have any questions about this or any other Library resources please contact us.
If you’re having trouble accessing the videos for NURS 7706, especially when off campus, this might help:
Hopefully this will prompt you to log in when needed if off campus.
If you need help with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
Update: As of Monday, January 25, we are able to access JAPMA for 1996 to present.
Original post: We have lost all online access to articles for the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association. The Library does have print issues for 1985 through 2005, and we are working to have the problem resolved.
If you need help with this or any other Library resources, contact us.
UPDATE: As of January 11, 2021, we now have access to 2020 issues of Genetics via the new publisher’s site. You should now see articles available from the Oxford University Press Medicine Collection. Our access to 2020 issues from the Society’s page is still not available.
We have lost access to all 2020 issues of the journal Genetics. We are currently working to notify the publisher to get our access restored. All issues older than one year are available to anyone.
This journal is moving to Oxford University Press for 2021, but the content is not available on their site yet. As soon as the issues are posted, you will see a link to the Oxford site.
If you have any questions about this or any other Library resources please contact us.
UPDATE: The problem appears to be resolved and all journals are available as usual.
A platform that provides access to multiple journals is currently undergoing maintenance, so the journals hosted by Atypon are unavailable.
This maintenance is affecting journals from the American Chemical Society, ASHA, the American Physiological Society, Mary Ann Liebert, New England Journal of Medicine, and multiple others.
We were not notified of this maintenance but will update as soon as we have more information
