BrowZine lets you easily scan recent issues of journals either by title or subject. One of ways to access the service is through its web interface, and you can get to the Libraries’ edition of BrowZine here. Hopefully you’ve checked out this new service the Libraries now offer, but here are some tips for using the web version.
When off-campus, search for “LSU Health Sciences Center” to choose our edition:
After you have chosen our profile or when you are on campus and follow the Libraries’ link, you can start exploring all of the journals available through BrowZine. Click on the file drawer icon to scan the titles in that subject or to see the subheadings assigned to it:
If you have a particular journal you would like to read, search for it and you will see the titles that match your search term:
Once you’ve found your journal, choose an issue from the years that are available:
If you see an article that piques your interest, just click on its title and you will be brought to its page at the journal’s site.
Although the Libraries offer access to thousands of journals, sometimes there are publisher-instituted terms that restrict access to an article after a certain amount of time. Although these are usually for journals in full-text databases, BrowZine has this information and displays those instances where the article might not be immediately available:
These tips should help get you started using BrowZine on the web. Stay tuned for more information about creating your own bookshelf and how to use the mobile app.
If you need any more information about BrowZine or any other library services, do not hesitate to contact us.
If you miss the days of scanning through the displays of recently-received journals, the Libraries are proud to now offer access to BrowZine. From the comfort of your web browser or mobile device, you can thumb through your favorite journals or see what’s been recently published in a particular subject area. Most publishers are represented in the service, making this a great way to stay on top of many topics and journals.
The Libraries’ web version of BrowZine can be accessed through this site. You can also download the mobile version for Android, iOS, and Kindle Fire HD tablets by starting here. More information can also be found on the Libraries’ BrowZine LibGuide.

Please note: the Libraries restored access to Web of Science in July 2017.
Reposting from December 14th since we’ve been receiving phone calls & emails about this service:
Due to the rising costs of online health sciences resources, the Library is cancelling Web of Science – Web of Knowledge effective January 1, 2016. This includes Science and Social Sciences Citation Indexes, Journal Citation Reports, and EndNote Basic.
The Library will continue to subscribe to Scopus. Scopus indexes peer-reviewed literature from scientific journals, books, and conference proceedings, and also provides the ability to track citations and analyze research.
Please contact your Librarian Liaison if you would like assistance with Scopus.

When searching for medical information, the LSUHSC libraries encourage the general public to use patient oriented websites such as MedlinePlus, instead of search engines such as Google. Many of these preferred sources can be found through the National Institute of Health and the National Library of Medicine. Here are some resources we recommend:
MedlinePlus: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/
NIHSeniorHealth: http://nihseniorhealth.gov/
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: http://www.cdc.gov/
National Institute of Mental Health: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/index.shtml

Mosby’s Nursing Consult is getting a face-lift AND a new name, ClinicalKey for Nursing! Elsevier is upgrading its popular online nursing resource effective January 1, 2016. Our staff is currently working with Elsevier on this transition, and we hope to have it all running smoothly for the start of the Spring semester. We are almost up-and-running, but there are still some issues, primarily with the off-campus access. We will share the news on the blog when everything is fixed.
The new platform includes most of the same content with some exceptions, particularly where outdated information is concerned. You will find the same, great books and journals, including books such as “Goldman-Cecil Medicine,” “Harriet Lane Handbook,” and “Sheehy’s Emergency Nursing,” and journals like “Nurse Leader,” “Journal for Nurse Practitioners,” and “Nursing Clinics of North America.” The journal coverage goes back to 2007 where available, and we do have some of the older coverage on the ScienceDirect platform. As with Mosby’s Nursing Consult, the books are updated with newer editions as the they are released. Be sure to check our INNOPAC library catalog for the most accurate record of what we have.
ClinicalKey for Nursing is also a Point-of-Care tool that is designed to help nurses find information quickly. It includes over 1,500 drug monographs, 300 procedural videos, and 175 disease topic pages.
Please contact a reference librarian if you need assistance with ClinicalKey for Nursing.

UPDATE: Links to resources and databases are now working correctly, but until the main problem is solved we might still experience difficulties. If so, please use the solution outlined below in the interim.
We’re having issues with all full-text links from our Catalog and from the Link Resolver. Resources cannot be accessed. Patrons who are on-campus can access by stripping out the part of the URL which allows off-campus access. Remove the initial number and dash and .innopac.lsuhsc.edu, so:
http://0-jama.jamanetwork.com.innopac.lsuhsc.edu/issues.aspx becomes http://jama.jamanetwork.com/issues.aspx
Again, this only works on-campus.
We’re investigating if this is related to the campus wide internet crash this morning and hope to have it resolved quickly. Thanks for your patience.
