UPDATE: Problems with off campus access to Wiley titles

UPDATE 7: Tuesday, November 2, 2021 afternoon: All EZproxy links to Wiley products are working correctly again.

UPDATE 6: Tuesday, November 2, 2021: We are again experiencing problems accessing Wiley titles via all EZproxy links. Please see our recommendations below for how to access Wiley books and journals directly using OpenAthens.

UPDATE 5 Friday, October 29, 2021: All issues affecting Wiley titles, articles, and PDFs should be resolved. However, if you run into any problems please contact us.

UPDATE 4 Thursday, October 28, 2021: Although linking to Wiley articles is working, you may run into an error when attempting to download a PDF. If you do, please follow our instructions below to access Wiley titles directly using OpenAthens.

UPDATE 3: The problem affecting LibKey product links has been fixed. You should now be able to access all Wiley articles when logging in off campus regardless of which link you use.

UPDATE 2: We are still experiencing issues with LibKey product links. If you are off campus and follow a link to a Wiley article PDF from LibKey Nomad or the link resolver in PubMed, you will not be able to access the article. Please follow the instructions below on how to access articles directly, or contact us if you need assistance.

UPDATE 1: As of Wednesday, October 27, 2021, the issues affecting EZproxy links to Wiley titles has been resolved, but there is a chance it might recur. If you find you are unable to access a Wiley book or journal, please follow the instructions below to log in directly using OpenAthens.

If you are trying to access a Wiley book or journal with a link that goes through our EZproxy system, those are currently not working correctly. All EZproxy users are experiencing this problem, and it affects links to Wiley titles in the Library’s catalog, E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List, our WebBridge Link Resolver, and all LibKey products.

Until this problem is fixed, you can access Wiley journals and books directly by using OpenAthens.

Start at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com. When at the Wiley site, click Login/Register on the right of the screen:

Next, click on Institutional Login at the bottom right of the box:

Then, click on Sign in with your OpenAthens account:

On the next screen, on the right of the screen, enter LSU and click on LSU Health Sciences Center Library:

Then you will be able to enter your LSUHSC-NO full e-mail address and current password, after which you can access all of the Wiley titles we have access to through our subscriptions.

We will update when we have more information about this issue, but if you need any help with this or other Library resources please contact us.

UPDATED: System outage Tuesday, October 19, 2021

UPDATE: INNOPAC is back up and running as of 1pm, October 19, 2021. If you encounter any issues, though, please contact us.

At 9am on Tuesday, October 19, 2021, INNOPAC, the Library’s online catalog will not be available for at least six hours. During this time you will also not be able to log into EZproxy using your Library barcode and PIN. The WebBridge Link Resolver is affected by this outage as well.

Please see our other post about accessing resources during this outage.

If you need assistance during this time, please contact us.

Accessing resources during system outage

INNOPAC, our library system, will not be available starting at 12:45pm on Thursday, November 21st, and it could be out for at least two hours. This outage means that you will not be able to look up anything through the Library’s online catalog, and the link resolver in all databases will not work as well. There are, however, other options to find the resources you need during this time.

The Discovery/EDS Health search will still function and can help you locate a specific journal, book, or article:

There are many options presented that will still work, but some do rely on the system in order to work. As a result, any options to check the Library’s catalog or to use the WebBridge Link Resolver will not be available. However, particularly in the case of articles, there are many other options that can get you to what you need:

Another option to find a particular ebook or journal is the E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List.

If you need to access any resource when off-campus, you will need to use your LSUHSC-NO e-mail and password through OpenAthens; you will not be able to log in using your Library barcode and PIN while the system is unavailable:

In PubMed, you may be able to get to articles directly using the Library’s link resolver even though the system is unavailable. Since we are using the LibKey Link service in conjunction with our link resolver, if a direct link to the PDF of an article is available, then you will bypass our link resolver. However, if this direct link is not possible and our link resolver would be needed in order to find available full-text or get the article through InterLibrary Loan, you will be unable to proceed while the system is down.

You can also use the LibKey Nomad Chrome browser extension to access journals in PubMed or from publishers’ sites. This will be particularly useful in PubMed, as the extension indicates which articles are available through the Library’s subscriptions. However, since the Library’s link resolver will not be available, only those citations that have “Download PDF” or “Article Link” will work during our system outage:

Even though INNOPAC, the Library’s catalog, will not be available, Library staff will have other ways to get to journals and resources during this downtime, so please contact us if you need help.

Fixed: EZproxy service up and running again

UPDATE: EZproxy is back up and running, so all links to Library resources are functioning both on and off campus again.

Original Post:

We are having trouble with our off campus authentication service EZproxy. Any links from the Library’s catalog, web site, and the E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List are not working at the moment.

For many publishers and resources, you will be able to log in directly using OpenAthens. Please see this page listing sites that support direct log in using your LSUHSC-NO e-mail and password. When you scroll to the bottom of this page, it will show you what you need to do once at those sites to log in.

We will update as soon as we have more information, but if you need assistance please contact us.

October Faculty Publications

A new selection of articles have been added to the Faculty Publications display in the Ische Library. These eight articles, as well as all of the articles in our Faculty Publications database, are authored by at least one member of our research community here at LSUHSC-New Orleans. Each month the Library is proud to present copies of eight of these publications in a rotating display of 16. With the currently changes, we’ve decided to post the publications digitally. Check out the display below:

Publications cited in the Faculty Publications database are harvested weekly from a variety of sources, such as PubMed, SCOPUS, and CINAHL, to name a few. In addition to articles they include books, book chapters, papers, editorials, letters to the editor, and meeting abstracts, all authored by at least one member of the LSUHSC-NO community. The database is maintained by Reference Librarian Kathy Kerdolff and will be available to the general public here or via the Library’s webpage. A PDF of a bibliography of this month’s addition is available here. If you have an article you would like us to highlight or if you have any questions regarding the display or the database, you can contact Kathy Kerdolff.

Fixed: Troubles with direct access to Science via OpenAthens

UPDATE: As of September 15, 2021, you can log in using OpenAthens when accessing Science directly. Please contact us if you are encountering any problems.

Original post:

If you need to get to the journals Science or Science Translational Medicine, please be aware that direct access via OpenAthens is currently unavailable. If you go directly to Science’s new site at https://www.science.org and try to log in using OpenAthens credentials, you will be unable to access any content. You will need to follow links that go through the Library’s EZproxy service in order to get to the full text of these journals. Links from the Library’s catalog, E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List, and our link resolver and LibKey products will route you through the proper channels to access the content.

To get to any articles from Science, please use this link: https://ezproxy.lsuhsc.edu/login?url=https://www.science.org/loi/science. For Science Translational Medicine this link will get you to that journal’s content: https://ezproxy.lsuhsc.edu/login?url=https://www.science.org/loi/stm. You can log in using your LSUHSC-NO e-mail and password by clicking the first link on the page for either title.

If you need assistance with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.

Update: Problems accessing JAMA Network journals off campus

Update: As of Friday, August 27, the error that was preventing access to any JAMA Network journal content from off campus via a Library EZproxy link has been resolved, but we are still seeing odd page displays.

When you follow one of the Library’s link to any JAMA Network title, you may see some icons on page not displaying correctly. Fortunately, the link to download PDFs of articles is displaying properly:

Until this issue is completely fixed you may encounter other problems, so please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need help. You may also continue to access JAMA Network titles directly via OpenAthens as described below.

Original post:

There is an issue that is affecting all subscribers to titles included in the JAMA Network family of journals when trying to access off campus via EZproxy. For us this means that you will encounter this error message when trying to access any JAMA title off campus from the Library’s Catalog, E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List, EDS Health Discovery service, and any LibKey products:

JAMA Network is aware of the issue and is currently working to resolve it. If you are on campus via a wired connection you will not see this problem, but if you are connected via the LSUHSC-Secure wireless network you will still have this issue although you are on campus. This same issue also extends to any connections via the VPN.

Until it is fixed, you can access JAMA Network journals from off campus by going directly to https://jamanetwork.com/ and logging in via Open Athens.

First, when at the site’s home page, click on “Sign In” to the right of the screen:

Then, click the link to “OpenAthens” :

At the next screen, enter “LSU” in the box to the right and then click the link for “LSU Health Sciences Center” :

Then, on the next screen enter your full LSUHSC-NO e-mail address and current password:

If you need any assistance accessing articles from the JAMA Network journals or if you need help with any other Library resources, please contact us.

Trial for AccessPhysiotherapy through Aug 6

The Department of Physical Therapy has set up a trial of McGraw-Hill’s AccessPhysiotherapy and the F.A. Davis PT ebooks collection through August 6th. For more information see our Trial Access LibGuide.

Update: Link resolver working in Web of Science

UPDATE: The link resolver is again working in both the new and classic versions of Web of Science. However, if you wish to use LibKey Nomad with Web of Science, you will need to use the instructions below on how to access the classic version.

The WebBridge LR link resolver is currently not working in both versions of Web of Science. This problem has been reported and we will update when the functionality has been restored.

The new version is now the default view for Web of Science and LibKey Nomad does not work with it now, unfortunately. With the link resolver not working in either version, getting to full text of articles is a bit more difficult, but you can still access the old version of Web of Science where LibKey Nomad works fine,

To get to the classic version of Web of Science click on the Products menu to the right of the screen; there you will see the link for Web of Science (Classic):
