Unlimited Users on All Access Products!

The Libraries are happy to announce that all Access products: AccessMedicine, AccessEmergencyMedicine, AccessNeurology and AccessSurgery. Previously we had a limited number of seats to some of these products which prevented more than a few users at once. The access databases provide books (including core textbooks), journals, testing, multimedia, case studies, patient education and study tools. They are also integrated with AccessMedicine – Case Files Collection, with cases in both basic sciences and clinical rotations.

Library’s journals now available through Read by QxMD

We have added full support of Read by QxMD so you will now be able to link directly from article abstracts to the full-text of the article if the Library has a subscription.

You can access Read by QxMD on your computer by going to https://www.readbyqxmd.com/. Mobile apps are available through the appropriate Android and Apple app stores.

You will need to create an account in order to link to our journals. When you are setting up your account, be sure to choose “Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans” as your home institution. You can then choose whether you would like to be prompted to log in each time you need to retrieve an article, or to have your credentials automatically sent. If you choose the automatic login option, you will need to enter your Library barcode and PIN.

We hope this new addition will make your journal browsing easier and more robust, but if you have any questions please contact us.

Visual DX Cancelled

The School of Medicine Technology Committee has chosen not to renew Visual DX for the coming fiscal year. They were not seeing enough interest to continue the subscription. The Libraries provided access to the website but did not contribute financially to this product.

Library Commons Display Case Work

Starting today (Friday 6/29), contractors will be doing work on the display cases in the Library Commons.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Monitors

The library recently re-purposed 4 computer monitors that patrons can use as a second monitor to pair with their laptops. Connecting cables are attached but alternative cables can be checked out at the circulation desk. The monitors can be found scattered about the 4th and 5th floors and are not allowed to leave the library.

Link resolver currently unavailable in Google Scholar

The WebBridge LR link resolver is not available in Google Scholar at this time. We have reported the issue and will update when we have more information.

If you need assistance retrieving articles from Google Scholar or any other database, please contact us.
