In New PubMed: FAQ & Tutorials

1. From the New PubMed Homepage, select “FAQs & User Guide“.

2. Ctrl+F what you are looking for. If you use the search bar, it will bring you PubMed articles, not FAQ results. Under “Appendices” are tutorials.

3. Here you can find “Tutorials“.

If you need more assistance, please reach out to your Library!

Coffee for a Cause, Friday February 14th

If you’re thinking of doing something for someone special on Valentine’s Day, you can also do something special for someone by attending Coffee for a Cause!

Sponsored by the School of Allied Health Professions, all proceeds will go towards purchasing educational materials for the LSUHSC Early Learning Center.

RefWorks downtime this weekend

RefWorks will be performing scheduled maintenance this weekend starting at 9pm CST on Saturday, February 8th. The outage will last approximately 12 hours with access restored on Sunday, February 9th.

Legacy RefWorks and (new) RefWorks, RefWorks Citation Manager, and Write-n-Cite will all be unavailable.

If you continue to have access problems after the scheduled maintenance is complete, please contact RefWorks support.

In New PubMed: Subject Filters

With the rollout of new PubMed, some features have changed such as the location of pre-populated subject filters.

In old PubMed, on your results page you could limit your search to specific, popular subject areas relatively easily with a full listing of options.

In new PubMed, this functionality is buried under several clicks and does not have the full list of subject searches.

All previous subject filters still exist in new PubMed but have not been added to the results page. In order to access these pre-populated searches, you have to search the PubMed FAQs to find and to enable them.

February 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.
