Please note: the Libraries restored access to Web of Science in July 2017.
Reposting from December 14th since we’ve been receiving phone calls & emails about this service:
Due to the rising costs of online health sciences resources, the Library is cancelling Web of Science – Web of Knowledge effective January 1, 2016. This includes Science and Social Sciences Citation Indexes, Journal Citation Reports, and EndNote Basic.
The Library will continue to subscribe to Scopus. Scopus indexes peer-reviewed literature from scientific journals, books, and conference proceedings, and also provides the ability to track citations and analyze research.
Please contact your Librarian Liaison if you would like assistance with Scopus.
Both the Isché and Dental Libraries have reopened from Winter Break!
Happy 2016 everyone
Both the Dental and Isché Libraries are both closed for winter break. The Libraries will reopen at 8am on Monday, January 4th and resume normal hours.
Online resources will, of course, be available 24/7 during this time.
The Libraries are now on Winter Break hours.

UPDATE: Links to resources and databases are now working correctly, but until the main problem is solved we might still experience difficulties. If so, please use the solution outlined below in the interim.
We’re having issues with all full-text links from our Catalog and from the Link Resolver. Resources cannot be accessed. Patrons who are on-campus can access by stripping out the part of the URL which allows off-campus access. Remove the initial number and dash and .innopac.lsuhsc.edu, so:
http://0-jama.jamanetwork.com.innopac.lsuhsc.edu/issues.aspx becomes http://jama.jamanetwork.com/issues.aspx
Again, this only works on-campus.
We’re investigating if this is related to the campus wide internet crash this morning and hope to have it resolved quickly. Thanks for your patience.
*Edit* the upgrade was complete before 10am!
ILLiad will be down for maintenance from approximately 8 am to 12 noon on Tuesday, December 8th. All functions will be offline during this time.
This post will be updated when the system comes back online.

The Isché Library rolled out new VoiP telephones this morning. The difference should be seamless for library patrons but some staff members do have new telephone numbers. Carolyn Bridgewater can be found at 504-568-6104; Rita Premo‘s new number is 504-568-7717; and Valerie Hernandez now has 504-568-6107 as her number. All other staff telephone numbers are available.
The Library Catalog, INNOPAC, is currently acting a bit wonky. It seems to have lost the ability to distinguish between New Orleans and Shreveport. Customer Support is working on the problem.
*Edit* And all issues were resolved (#fingerscrossed) at 10:50am
The Isché Library will have extended hours for exams, from Sunday, November 29th through Thursday, December 17th. The hours are as follows:
- Sunday 12 noon to 12 midnight
- Monday – Thursday 8 am to 12 midnight
- Friday 8 am to 8 pm
- Saturday 9:30 am to 6 pm
FSA (Farm Security Administration) dentist and migrant child in the FSA dental trailer at the FSA camp for farm families. Caldwell, Idaho (November 1941) – Russell Lee
Yale University and the National Endowment for the Humanities have indexed the 170,000 photos created by the US Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information. All photos were created from 1935 through 1945. Photogrammar organizes the photos so they are searchable via map location, photographer, classification tags (medicine and health for instance), and eventually by treemap, metadata dashboard and colorspace.
Election Day is fast approaching and if you’re a registered voter in Louisiana, then early voting for the October 24th primary started this past Saturday. Early voting concludes on Saturday, October 17th.
Consider downloading the GeauxVote app, for assistance with your ballot. Or go to GeauxVote.com on the web to discover your polling location and your sample ballot. In my precinct there are 8 elections and 4 constitutional amendments to decide on.
The nearly 5 million redesign of Tulane Avenue began a couple of weeks ago. Mid-City Messenger has the story (with illustration). The project encompasses Claiborne to Carrollton and is expected to be complete in early 2016.
Being able to legally turn left on Tulane Ave? Inconceivable.!
Due to an emergency water shutdown in the Resource Center Building, the Isché Library will close at 6 pm on Monday, September 14th. There will be no water available at water fountains or in restrooms for the entire building from 6 pm to 12 midnight. The Library Commons will also be affected.
The Library will reopen at 8 am on Tuesday morning.
