The Library is pleased to announce that we have purchased the latest edition of Devita, Hellman, and Rosenberg’s Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology (10th ed., 2015) online through our Books@Ovid platform. Vincent Devita and his colleagues have been publishing this classic text since 1982! The 10th edition of this definitive oncology resource includes several new chapters, and this online book will be updated quarterly with new content.
This title can be found via our library catalog: http://innopac.lsuhsc.edu/, and it can be accessed directly from the Books@Ovid platform. For off campus access, be sure to log in through our Web Access Management system (WAM) using your library barcode number and PIN.
R2 is back in action! Please let us know if you continue to have problems accessing these ebooks.
We apologize for any inconvenience this outage caused!
We are currently experiencing some technical difficulties with the R2 Digital Library. The problem has been reported, and we will update the blog as soon as we find out more information.
The Library is pleased to announce that we now have an online subscription to the most recent edition of the Scientific style and format: the CSE manual for authors, editors, and publishers. Currently in its 8th edition, the CSE style manual has been a standard reference for scientific publishing since 1960. As it is the required format for Graduate Studies theses and dissertations, we are most excited to be able to offer our users this access both on and off campus. For off campus access, be sure to log in through our Web Access Management system (WAM) using your library barcode number and PIN.
We hope this helps ease and simplify your writing process!

This is just a gentle reminder that our MDConsult access will expire on Sunday, 5/11/2014.
See our previous blog post here for more information: https://www.lsuhsc.edu/library/news/?p=9481.
Adios! Au revoir! Ciao! MD Consult will be going away. Our access is set to expire May 11, 2014. While Elsevier has developed a new product, Clinical Key, that replaces and expands MD Consult, the cost is currently far beyond our budget. Please know that we are making every effort to purchase essential MD Consult books and journals from other sources as they are available and affordable.
We recently purchased 10 of the most heavily used books on another online platform, R2 Digital Library. Many of the books can be found in the Library’s print collection. A library guide has been created to help users find alternative content. We have also subscribed to select journals via Science Direct. We will continue to make replacing this content a priority, however funding is limited.
The School of Medicine first acquired MD Consult in 1999. It was one of the earliest online resources for medical books and journals. Funding for this resource has always been a joint effort with costs being shared among some of the schools and, at one time, the regional Area Health Education Centers. For the last 10 years, funding has been provided by the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Allied Health, and the Library.
Thanks to everyone for your support of MD Consult over the past 15 years!
McGraw-Hill recently?áunvelied their new online platform which is designed to integrate all of their Access products. The look is very different but the content is all there, so don’t panic when you see it. If you have trouble getting to anything, just let us know. We will post more information about the new platform soon.
Thanks for your patience!

The fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is now available through the PsychiatryOnline database. The DSM-5?« is the product of more than ten years of effort by hundreds of international experts in all aspects of mental health.
The DSM has been the most comprehensive resource used by health professionals, social workers, and forensic and legal specialists to diagnose and classify mental disorders. In the United States the DSM serves as a universal authority for the diagnosis of psychiatric illnesses. Treatment recommendations, as well as payment by health care providers, are often determined by DSM classifications, so the appearance of a new version has significant practical importance.
The DSM-5?« was published on May 18, 2013, superseding the DSM-IV?«, which was published in 1994. The development of the new edition began with a conference in 1999, and proceeded with the formation of a Task Force in 2007, which developed and field-tested a variety of new classifications. In most respects DSM-5?« is not greatly changed from DSM-IV?«. Notable innovations include dropping Asperger syndrome as a distinct classification; loss of subtype classifications for variant forms of schizophrenia; dropping the “bereavement exclusion” for depressive disorders; a revised treatment of gender identity issues; and a new gambling disorder.
?áAlso featured in PsychiatryOnlineÔÇÖs DSM Library are:
- Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV-TR?«)
- DSM-IV-TR?« Handbook of Differential Diagnosis
- Cases from DSM-IV-TR?« Casebook and Its Treatment Companion
