LSU Health New OrleansElevator #4
is the only one that will now travel to the Library. The other elevators will return to service once the Library Commons project is further along.
Jennifer Lloyd
Can You Tell Me How to Get to the Library?
Construction is proceeding at the Isché Library. The temporary walls are being built as I type; these walls will encompass the elevator lobby on the 3rd floor. For the next few days, only elevator #4 can be used to access the Library. *EDIT* All elevators are still currently working. The limited access won’t happen until later this week.
Printing Increasing by a Cent
Auxiliary Enterprises is currently rolling out new Pay-for-Print software and hardware. The Isché Library already has a new print station on the 3rd floor & the 4th floor station is to be installed today. The price for printing will be 8¢ per single page and 12¢ for double sided, starting Monday, June 2nd. Printing in the Library will continue to require a PayPaw card.
Moving, Moving, Moving
Last night the Reference Desk and the Pay-for-Print stations were moved over the left side of the Circulation Desk. The demolition phase of the Library Commons project is set to begin on Monday, May 26th.
Public PCs on 3
The Public PCs on the 3rd floor of the Isché Library have been moved to the area beside the Circulation/Reference Areas near Tulane Ave. Looks like the Library Commons project is accelerating!
Moving Right Along
In preparation for the work on the new Library Commons, Study Room 401-T will temporarily become a staff office. The move is happening now; when it is complete, room 301-G will become a study room, at least until demolition starts! For more information on study space in the Isché Library, check out the online floor plans.
Ische Library Closed on Saturday
The Isché Library will be closed this Saturday, May 17th due to necessary A/C repairs to the building. The Library will re-open on Sunday, May 18th at 1:30 p.m.
Blogging & Professional Library Conferences
Reference Librarian, Molly Knapp has been selected as one of the official MLA bloggers for the 2008 Annual Meeting in Chicago. What this means for this blog is that starting next week, posts will appear with the subject line of MLA2008 and that the official meeting website will be linking to our little part of the blogosphere.
MLA is the Medical Library Association; this organization is the primary National professional group for medical/health sciences librarians. Molly was one of only 15 librarians to receive this invitation.
Multilingual Feature Debuts on MedlinePlus.gov
MedlinePlus.gov debuted a multilingual feature, providing access to high quality health information in languages other than English and Spanish today (Wednesday, May 7th).
“The new collection contains over 2,500 links to information in more than 40 languages and covers nearly 250 Health Topics. Continuous growth is expected.”
MedlinePlus.gov is a consumer-oriented, free website from the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.
Library Commons – Floor Plans on View
The renovation project for the new Library Commons will start this Summer. The plans for the area are now on view in the Isché Library. Come check them out.

Mosby’s Nursing Consult updated over 8,000 patient handouts over the weekend. These handouts are written at between a 6th & 8th grade reading level and LSUHSC “Authorized Users have permission to print copies of patient education handouts for personal, non-commercial use in educating patients.”

More Movie News
Information Services released an announcement today about filming which will affect the downtown campus:
I have just been made aware that there will be filming that will affect our campus beginning today. It?óÔé¼Ôäós an action adventure film called ?óÔé¼?ôTwelve Rounds?óÔé¼?Ø. The memo University Police received this morning from LSU Interim Hospital states that the film company will be preparing University Hospital from Friday, April 25 – Monday, April 28. The film company will be shooting nightly from Tuesday April 29 – Friday May 2. They say there will be intermittent traffic flow used around the hospital. Most of the work at the hospital will be done inside and on the helipad, but there will be some exterior work on Tuesday during the day and evening. There will be a simulated explosion done outside on Tuesday in the late afternoon.
No parking signs will be posted by the City from Friday, April 25 at 5:00 a.m. – Friday, May 2 at 7:00 p.m. in the following locations:
1900, 2000 and 2100 blocks of Perdido Street
400, 500, and 600 blocks of Bolivar Street
1900, 2000, and 2100 blocks of Gravier Street (with street closures overseen by NOPD)
500 block of S. Prieur Street
400 and 500 blocks of S. Johnson Street (with street closures overseen by NOPD)
Which means no street parking this weekend in front of the Library’s building. Can’t wait for that explosion on Tuesday!
Jazz Fest Parking
Just in case you missed the email from the chancellor:
The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival will be held at the New Orleans Fairgrounds this weekend and next. Dr. Eric Hovland, Dean of our Dental School, has extended an invitation to all faculty, staff and students with their LSUHSC ID?óÔé¼Ôäós to park at the Dental School if they are planning to attend Jazz Fest.
