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. 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. A PDF of a bibliography of this month’s addition will be 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 our Librarians at reference@lsuhsc.edu.

Barcode and PIN login no longer supported for online access

Logging in with a Library barcode and PIN is no longer supported to access online resources. You must use an LSUHSC-NO email address and password or an LSUHSC-NO username and password to log in.

If you do not have an LSUHSC-NO email account, contact the IT Supporters in your school to start the process. Once you have an email account, logging in is easy through EZproxy and OpenAthens.

Please contact us if you need assistance.

UPDATED: Access to Bone and Joint Journal

February 14, 2023 Update: The issue has been resolved, so you will be able to access this journal on campus and whenever a link goes through EZproxy. You can, however, still use the direct OpenAthens link if you’d like. Please let us know if you run into any problems.

If you need to access Bone and Joint Journal and its previous titles, please use this link to get to the content when both on and off campus: https://go.openathens.net/redirector/lsuhsc.edu?url=https%3A%2F%2Fboneandjoint.org.uk%2Fjournal%2Fbjj. You will need to log in using your LSUHSC-NO email address and current password.

If you attempt to get to this journal on campus or off campus via any Library link that goes through EZproxy, we are currently unable to get to any subscribed content.

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

Adding funds to PayPaw accounts

With the ongoing network issues, the only way to add money to your PayPaw account is at the Bookstore. There is a minimum of $10, but cash cannot be used. The Bookstore opens weekdays at 9am.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Holiday

The Libraries will be closed on Monday, January 16th in honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr Holiday. Both the Dental and the Isché Libraries will reopen at 7:30am on Tuesday, January 17th. In addition, the Isché Library will be open from 9:30am-6pm on Saturday and 9:30am-10:00pm on Sunday as usual.

Barcode and PIN login not available

As a result of the continuing issues with the LSUHSC-NO networks and systems, it is not possible to log in using a Library barcode and PIN at this time. You can log in using your LSUHSC-NO email and password or your LSUHSC-NO user i.d. and password.

We have a video on logging in with your email and another for alternate logins, but the barcode and PIN will not apply at this time.

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

David Wolff Retires

David Wolff, Evening Supervising Associate at the Isché Library, retired December 31st. He had been employed by the Library from 1998-2006 and then from 2011-2022. Over the years, he worked nearly every shift in public services. As the supervisor to our student workers, he was a mentor. His goal was to make the library a welcoming place for both patrons and employees. He prided himself on his reliability and helpfulness. We will miss him and wish him well in his next career as he moves to Georgia.

Libraries are Open 1/3/2023

Welcome to 2023. Both the Isché and Dental Libraries reopened this morning.

Accessing online resources

Although the LSUHSC-NO site is finally available again, our EZproxy server has yet to be brought back online, meaning you will run into problems when attempting to get to many of our resources on and off campus. This affects the majority of links to online books and journals in the Library’s catalog and resources on the Databases listings, as well as many links to articles from the WebBridge Link Resolver and LibKey products. We do not have information on when the EZproxy service will be restored.

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, all links to external sites will not work. We will see what can be done about this.

The Library will reopen on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, so please contact us if you need assistance with getting resources.

Libraries/Campus Closed until Tuesday, January 3rd

Both the Dental and Isché Libraries are closed Tuesday, January 3, 2022 for the Winter Break Holiday. The Isché Library will reopen at 7:30am and the Dental Library will reopen at 8am.
