Case Files Collection glitch

Our subscription to Case Files Collection from McGraw-Hill is not working correctly. Ignore the message that says “Get Free Access Through Your Institution.” You can still access some of the content if you are not logged into your MyAccess profile/account, but if you log in to your profile, it should be working correctly.

Creating a MyAccess profile is free, and you will need a MyAccess profile to use all of the functionality of the cases. If you are off-campus, you will need to be in an authenticated web session first in order to create a profile. See more information about off-campus access here: https://www.lsuhsc.edu/library/offcampus.aspx.

If you need assistance, please contact your librarian liaison or library technical services: librarytech@lsuhsc.edu.

On Friday, June 30th, 2023 access to RefWorks Classic will end. If you need to download or migrate citations, bibliographies, etc. please do so by the end of the month. LSUHSC-NO will continue to have access to the new version of RefWorks. Only RefWorks Classic is being discontinued.

UPDATE: EZproxy maintenance June 14th

UPDATE: EZproxy is back up and running. If you run into any problems, contact us.

On Wednesday, June 14, 2023, EZproxy will be unavailable for two to three hours for server maintenance. During this time, links from the Library’s catalog, E-Journals & E-Books AtoZ List, Databases, and most other links from Library resources may not work correctly.

If you are off campus, you can log into many resources directly by using OpenAthens. A list of sites where you can do so and instructions are available on the OpenAthens LibGuide.

If you are on campus, please contact us and we can provide links to resources while the system is unavailable.

Changes to resource access from Allied Health wired workstations

If you are using a wired workstation in the Allied Health building, we’ve had to make a change that now requires you to log in when accessing Library resources. We had reports of issues when users were trying to get to ebooks, articles, and databases, and this is the way to resolve those problems.

When you click one of the Library’s links to resources, click this link:

When you click this link, you will most likely not be asked to re-enter your credentials, as those should be pulled from when you logged into your workstation.

This change ensures that your rights to access our subscribed content is passed along to the book, journal, and database websites.

Another tool that will help you more easily access resources is the LibKey Nomad browser extension. We have a LibKey Nomad LibGuide that shows you how to set up and use this tool that makes getting to journal articles very easy.

LibGuides Have a New Look!

LSU-HSC New Orleans LibGuides have been changed from a top “tab” navigation style to a side navigation style. This was done to match the rest of the LSU-HSC New Orleans websites, as those are all also side navigation. In addition to the navigation change, profile boxes of the guide’s owners are now available, this was done to make contacting the person who owns a certain LibGuide easier, and would be the person to contact if there is a question about a LibGuide and its content.

Gahart’s Intravenous Medications Is Now Elsevier!

There is a new edition of Gahart’s Intravenous Medications but the author has changed and so has the title. Elsevier’s 2023 Intravenous Medications: a handbook for nurses and health professionals is now available via ClinicalKey.

This 2023 edition marks the fiftieth year of publication of Intravenous Medications. Betty L. Gahart has stepped away from the publication and the new author is Shelly Rainforth Collins. Betty Gahart originated the idea for this text and manned the helm for nearly 50 years with contributions from her her co-authors, Adrienne R. Nazareno and Meghan Q. Ortega.

New journals from The Royal Society

In addition to the Library’s existing subscriptions to Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences and the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, we now have access to the current issues of Biology Letters, Interface Focus, and Journal of the Royal Society Interface.

Previously, the three new journals were available after a one-year embargo, but our subscriptions to these titles now mean you can access the most recent content from these journals.

If you need help with these or any other Library resources, please contact us.

These titles are added to our existing subscriptions to Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Journal of the American Chemical Society, ACS Chemical Neuroscience, and Journal of Proteome Research.
