A new selection of articles has been added to the Faculty Publications display in the Isché Library. These eight articles, as well as all the articles in LSU Health Digital Scholar, 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. Check out the display below:
LSUHSC Digital Scholar is an institutional repository and is a service of the LSU Health Science Center Libraries. Research and scholarly output included here has been selected and deposited by the Libraries, as well as individual university departments and centers on campus.
Publications cited in LSU Health Digital Scholar are harvested 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. You can access LSU Health Digital Scholar at https://digitalscholar.lsuhsc.edu/.
If you have an article that you would like us to highlight or if you have any questions regarding the display or the database, you can contact our Librarians at reference@lsuhsc.edu.
The Library has launched an Instagram account, which can be found under the username @lsuhscnolibrary on Instagram. The Library plans to use this account to post about new and existing resources, events happening at the library, holiday closures, and other fun and interesting content related to the Library and the community it serves.
The account can also be accessed via desktop browser at this link (https://www.instagram.com/lsuhscnolibrary/). However, please note that Instagram does not always load correctly on web browsers without being signed into an Instagram account, so some issues may occur reaching the account this way.

As the project to make room for the IT Data Center continues, please be aware that the events affecting a certain kingdom have now spread to the 5th Floor of the Library.
Gloom Hands were encountered this week near a stack of journals to be removed:
As soon as this menace was handled, just around the corner another threat was faced:
Your intrepid Library staff dispatched of these nuisances, but please be careful as you go about the floor.
Room continues to be made where the shifting of the journals progresses:
Please remember that as this project continues, there will be additional noise and a lot of commotion throughout the 5th Floor during weekdays.
If you have any questions about this or need assistance with any Library resources, contact us.
Beginning on Monday, July 31st, for the first time since March 2020, the Isché Library will be open its full hours. We have slowly re-added hours over the last couple of years, but now we are back up to full staff!
The project to make room for IT’s data center is progressing well. The shifting of journals remaining has reached the R titles, with the move starting from the end of the alphabet.
The process to remove the 30,000+ print volumes is also moving along, with volumes removed into the G titles, also working backwards.
If you are anywhere between Clinical Proceedings and Journal of Toxicology, you will likely see where volumes are being stowed for their eventual removal:
If you need assistance or have any questions about this project, please contact us.
The project to shift the journal collection and clear space for the relocation of IT’s data center is progressing to where you can now see tangible evidence of the effort throughout the floor.
As we remove journals and tighten up existing space, we’re creating empty shelves to accommodate the space that will be lost:
However, since over 30,000 bound volumes are being removed, you may see some odd places where these journals are being stored as they await the next step in this project:
If you need assistance locating a journal or help with any Library resources, please contact us.
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
GraphPad Prism, a statistical analysis and graphing software has been added to the. The three computers in the Library Commons, on the third floor of the Resource Center Building. The software is thanks to a license from the School of Graduate Studies.
The project to make room for the relocation of the IT Data Center is picking up each day. Shifting of the titles and volumes to be kept has begun in earnest:
Since 28 rows of shelving will be lost, we have a combination of removing titles and tightening up the remaining volumes. The stacks of what will eventually be over 30,000 removed bound volumes of journals grows each day:
As Library staff works through shifting journals and pulling the titles to be removed, there will be an increase in noise and activity on the floor.
If you have any questions about this or any other Library topics, please contact us.

The project to remove over 30,000 bound volumes and shift the entire print journal collection to make room for an IT data center is well underway. If you find yourself on that floor, it is reminiscent of a sticky note factory:
Journals waiting to be removed.
Journals that will be removed from the collection are also starting to populate the staging areas on the Prieur side of the floor:
As we make our way through the entire collection, removing and shifting journals, there will be an increase of noise on the usual quiet study floor.
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.
The Quiet Study Floor/5th Floor of the Resource Center (RCB) will be the site of a project that will take a couple of years to complete. IT will be relocating a data center from the 7th Floor of the RCB to the 5th Floor.
This is the affected area of the floor:
Upon completion, a portion of the floor will be cordoned off for the equipment, but we will add new seating and study areas:
Before any construction can start, the Library’s print journal collection on the 5th Floor will be undergoing major changes to make room for this new data center. It will entail the relocation and removal of over 30,000 print journal volumes and thousands of unbound issues, the loss of 28 rows of shelves, and requires shifting the entirety of the remainder of the print collection. The content of the print volumes and issues to be removed are covered by perpetual access archives purchases and freely-available archival content. In total, over 600 journal titles will be affected.
From now until December, there will be noise during the weekdays as Library staff work to shift the print journal collection and stage the volumes to be removed. There will also be many signs and notes spread throughout the stacks, so please do not remove these notes. Also, locating needed print journals may be a little more difficult during this time.
We apologize for the noise and disruption this will cause. As this is affecting the dedicated quiet study area, please be mindful if others have relocated to a different area to find some quiet.
If you have any questions about this or need assistance locating materials, please contact us.
