There is an unexpected water outage on the downtown campus began at 3:45pm because of a Sewerage and Water Board issue. Since the water has not been restored by 5pm, we have closed the library for the evening. We hope it will be restored overnight.
*Edit* Water pressure was restored by 10pm on July 25, 2018.
*Edit* Water pressure issues recurred later afternoon on July 26, 2018.
*Edit* Water pressure issues are still a problem as of 8am July 27, 2018. For now the Library is open, as water pressure is coming and going.
The Libraries are happy to announce that all Access products: AccessMedicine, AccessEmergencyMedicine, AccessNeurology and AccessSurgery. Previously we had a limited number of seats to some of these products which prevented more than a few users at once. The access databases provide books (including core textbooks), journals, testing, multimedia, case studies, patient education and study tools. They are also integrated with AccessMedicine – Case Files Collection, with cases in both basic sciences and clinical rotations.
The Libraries will be closed on the 4th of July.
Additionally the Isché Library will close at 6pm on Tuesday, July 3rd. Otherwise summer hours remain in effect.
The School of Medicine Technology Committee has chosen not to renew Visual DX for the coming fiscal year. They were not seeing enough interest to continue the subscription. The Libraries provided access to the website but did not contribute financially to this product.
Summer hours at both the Dental & Isché Libraries begin June 1 and run through July 31.
The Dental Library will close at 6pm Monday – Thursday and at 5pm on Fridays. The Dental Library will be closed on weekends.
The Isché Library will close at 10pm Sunday – Thursday and at 6pm on Fridays. Saturday hours will remain the same, 9:30am to 6pm.
Opening hours at both Libraries will remain the same, weekdays at 8am and noon on Sundays at Isché.

Today officially marks New Orleans’ 300th year. The actual founding date is a bit murky but this is the date picked by the city for this anniversary kickoff!
If you’re up on your New Orleans medical history, you’ll know that the last outbreak of Yellow Fever here was in 1905. Brazil isn’t so lucky and are in the middle of an outbreak. The CDC is recommending a dose of Yellow Fever vaccine before traveling to Brazil or Africa.
The Isché Library will close at 6pm on Thursday, April 5th because the water will be shut off in the building for an emergency plumbing repair. The Library Commons may be open, however restrooms and water fountains in other buildings will need to be used. The water is expected to remain off until 10:30pm.
