Since getting to the downtown campus will be a challenge this coming weekend, the Isché Library will be closed on Saturday and Sunday, February 8th and 9th. The Library Commons will be available 24/7 as usual to badge holders. Parking in the Roman Street Garage will require a special permit to be acquired in advance.
BUT! We will open the Dental Library on Saturday (Feb. 8, 2025) to accommodate students from 9:30am to 6pm and the Dental Library will remain open from 11:30am to 8pm on Sunday (Feb. 9, 2025) as usual.
The Libraries will return to regular hours on Monday, February 10th.
We are excited to announce that we now have a coffee vending machine and commercial grade Keurig in the Moerschbaecher Library Commons! You are welcome to bring your own supplies to use the Keurig, or buy a cup filled with the supplies (there are different coffee blends available) in the vending machine for $2.50. The vending machine takes cash, card and Apple Pay, though we recommend using cash or card.

*Edit 7/2/2024 2:30pm – the Commons area is now reopened for use.
The main study area of the downtown Library Commons will be closed on Tuesday, July 2, 2024 for carpet tile replacement and may still be closed on Wednesday, July 3rd.
*Edit* Monday, July 1 – only one side of the TV area was completed on Friday, the other side will be worked on today.
The Library Commons area with the television monitors will be closed tomorrow, June 28, 2024 for carpet replacement. The furniture will be moved out of those spaces into the tiled area, so there will be some noise while this is happening.
All the carpet is being replaced on the 3rd floor of the Isché Library. The work started yesterday, June 25, 2024. The work will take a couple of weeks to complete. But during that time library services may be interrupted. Poster printing has been offline since Monday evening. And there will be no popcorn tomorrow, June 27th. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Sections of the Library Commons will be unavailable while the carpet is being replaced in those areas. Stay tuned to hear when.
*Edit* Popcorn is back on! We can get to the popcorn machine again!
Both the Dental and Isché Libraries are closed for Winter Break. Online systems will work while the physical libraries are closed. And the Library Commons will be open downtown as long at the building remains open. Both Libraries will reopen on Tuesday, January 2nd, Isché at 7:30am and Dental at 8am. See you in 2024!
The LSU Health New Orleans Division of Libraries invites the LSU Health New Orleans community to join the Libraries for all the information, fun, and festivities we are planning for International Open Access Week on October 23–27, 2023. Click here for our Open Access Week 2023 webpage.

The Libraries will be closed Saturday, Sunday and Monday for the Labor Day Holiday. The Library Commons will be open all weekend.
The Dental Library will close at 5pm on Friday, September 1st and reopen at 8am on Tuesday, September 4th. The Isché Library will close at 6pm on Friday and reopen at 7:30am on Tuesday.
The coffee kiosk in the 3rd floor Library Commons, just outside of the Ische Library, has officially moved to its new home in the 3rd Floor MEB/AHN Atrium. For more information, please visit the Dining Services page: https://www.lsuhsc.edu/administration/ae/cafeteria.aspx
The Isché Library will close at 6pm on Thursday, May 26, 2022 for emergency electrical repairs in the building. While the Library Commons may be open, it will be on emergency lighting only and will not have air conditioning until 10pm.
The Isché Library will open at 12 noon on Saturday, April 2nd instead of 9:30am. The Library will still close at 6pm.
This change is necessary because Facility Services will be working on the emergency power automatic transfer switch. The entire Resource Center Building will have intermittent complete outages of both regular power and emergency power. All power, safety lighting, elevators and air handling will be affected by these outages.
The Library has created a new display in 3 sections of the Commons cases. The display honors Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs Joseph M. Moerschbaecher, III, PhD, who spent nearly 40 years of his career at LSUHSC. Dr. M passed away July 1, 2021. He was hired in the Department of Pharmacology in 1983.
Dr. Moerschbaecher helped create the space that is now the Library Commons (2009) and he enjoyed selecting material for the display cases. Many of the medicine bottles in the cases closest to the Library entrance were from his collections.
To learn more, read these online tributes from the SoM Pulse, the LSU Health Newsroom, and NOLA.com.
And if you can’t make it over, enjoy a couple of photos:
On the downtown campus, the Library Lobby is having both elevator and wallpaper work done at the moment. Prepare to step carefully as you get off the elevator to access the coffee shop (to the right) or the Isché Library (to the left). Work will continue until it’s complete.
Because of construction in the downtown campus Atrium (which begins Wednesday, April 28th), the coffee bar will be moving to the Library Commons, adjacent to the Isché Library. The Coffee service will be open on Monday, May 3rd. Items and services will be limited. Hours are to be determined from 7am to 2pm each weekday as staffing allows.
The coffee bar operated previously from July 15, 2009 through March 28, 2013. It was not financially sustainable.
