New Systematic Review Service

The LSU Health Libraries are pleased to announce the launch of a new Systematic Review Service available to all LSUHSC faculty, researchers, staff, and students. Our trained librarians are available to partner with you on your comprehensive literature search projects, including scoping and narrative reviews too. We offer two tiers of collaboration, Expert Consultant and Co-Author, to meet the needs of your individual project. Access to our institutional subscription to Covidence, a systematic review management tool, is also available through our new service. Please visit our new LibGuide to learn more about this service. We also have a Form you can submit to request a meeting with a member of our Systematic Review team. 

WiFi networks in the Library

With the start of the new semester and the welcoming of new and returning students, we’d like to share a tip that will hopefully make getting your daily work done much easier. When on campus, please make sure to choose LSUHSC-Secure as the WiFi network.

If you somehow connect to Eduroam, LSUHSC-Visitor, or any of the other available networks, you will not be able to access Library resources easily nor print to the PayPaw system. You can also ensure you do not connect to any of these networks by unchecking “Connect automatically” if it is selected.

For those using Macs, you can set LSUHSC-Secure as your preferred network.

If you need assistance, please contact us.
