The Isché Library now has a color photocopier available for use. The costs of copies for this machine is 25¢ each. At this moment, it can only make color copies, so no 10¢ copies are available. It is currently housed on the 3rd floor.
Like all the photocopiers in the Libraries, it is administrated by Auxiliary Enterprises.
The ILLiad email service has been restored. Thanks for your patience.
I stumbled across the Life Photo Archives this morning. The photos date from the 1750s through today and most were never published. Of course, I had to see if there were any photos relating to medicine and New Orleans. Here’s what I found:
This photo dates from June 1966 and features “Medical Technician Robert Mitchell working with the baboon that he taught to smoke for research on cancer & heart disease at the LA state Univ. medical school.” Photos are available for “personal non-commercial use.”
We’ve just learned that the ILLiad (interlibrary loan service) emails have not been going through for th last week or so. We are working to correct this problem. And apologize for the inconvenience.
~Update~ It should be repaired by tomorrow.
A early release article from Cancer (off campus users will have to login using WAM) has found a link between frequent use of cannabis and testicular cancer. Research discovered that being a marijuana smoker at the time of diagnosis was associated with a 70% increased risk. Risk was especially elevated (about twice that of those who never smoked marijuana) for those who used the drug at least once a week and/or who had long-term exposure to the substance beginning in adolescence.
The National Library of Medicine has updated their Pubmed tutorial. Their website also offers Quick Tours on specific topics; these videos are usually less than 3 minutes long. For local Pubmed assistance, please contact a Reference Librarian at the Isch?â?® Library (504) 568-6102 / (504) 568-8339, or at the Dental Library (504) 941-8158.
The permanent glass panels which will divide the Isché Library from the Library Commons are being installed today. The new front doors to the Library are scheduled for installation tomorrow.
We spoke too soon about our elevator working yesterday. It is once again out of order. We’ll post again when it’s working.
The renovations to the Isché Library elevator are complete. Come take a ride!
The construction workers have been working on the new lobby to the Commons & the Library since Friday. This morning they started working on the doorway into the Isché Library. Don’t worry you still have access. Work on the doorway should be completed in a few days.
Did you know that you can get an LSUHSC discount on your Cox High Speed Internet just for being a student or working at LSUHSC? Or that all faculty, staff, and students receive a 10% discount at the LSUHSC Dental Faculty Practice? Check that discount out and others on the LSUHSC Discounts Page.
Just a quick reminder that most LSUHSC-New Orleans resources are available off campus (any where not on the LSUHSC network). This includes full-text materials, books & journals. Check out our handy tutorial.
The Library of Congress had created a history of presidential inaugurations page.
To watch today’s inauguration on campus, there are two choices:
“The broadcast will be shown in the Medical Education Building, Lecture Room A, from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM. Classes will end at 10:45 AM. Due to the continuing construction on the 2nd floor of the MEB, please use the 1st floor to enter and leave the Lecture Room.
In addition to the Lecture Room, for those wishing to view the coverage from their computer, the broadcast will be available from our web servers at http://webdev2.lsuhsc.edu/inauguration/ To view the broadcast, click on the preceding link using Internet Explorer on a computer with a wired connection. The broadcast will be available at the Schools of Dentistry and Public Health and all buildings on the downtown campus. The broadcast will not be available at the LSU Interim Hospital or via Citrix, VPN or wireless connections.” from an email from the Chancellor.
For new students or ones that haven’t been to the Isché Library in awhile, the construction zone will be the new Library Commons. This space when completed will feature study tables, video rooms, a coffee shop, exhibit space, and 24/7 access. Work began in May 2008 and should be completed in Spring 2009.
The Isché & Dental Libraries will be open regular hours on Sunday, January 18th. But will be closed on Monday, January 19th in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a university holiday.
