**Original post**
McGraw-Hill accidentally turned off access to some of our paid subscriptions. Sorry for the inconvenience! Hopefully they will fix this as soon as possible!
McGraw-Hill (AccessMedicine) and Ovid/LWW (LWW Health Library) have offered to open up extended trial access to some of their resources during the COVID-19 outbreak.
We created a LibGuide to keep track of these: https://libguides.lsuhsc.edu/trial. We will add more resources as they become available.
McGraw-Hill additional access is through June 1st. Those resources are AccessBiomedical Science, Cardiology, Pediatrics, Physiotherapy, and F.A. Davis PT collection (part of AccessPhysiotherapy).
Ovid/LWW additional access is through May 19th. Those resources are 5-MinuteConsult, Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy, Bates Visual Guide to Physical Examination, LWW Health Library Clerkship/Clinical Rotations, LWW Health Library Exercise Science, LWW Health Library PA Rotations/Specialties.
Our AccessMedicine access has been restored. We have institutional access to the following subscribed collections: Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Surgery, Neurology, and the Case Files Collection. McGraw-Hill is also in the process of adding extended trial access through June 1st to the following collections: Physiotherapy, F.A. Davis PT Collection, Pediatrics, Cardiology, and Biomedical Science. We will update the blog once those are all turned on.

Original message: AccessMedicine is experiencing some technical difficulties. They are working on resolving the issues.
The Library is happy to announce a new AccessMedicine feature: the Auscultation Classroom.
The Auscultation Classroom provides students with audio-visual animations of heart anomalies, as well as animated illustrations of the auscultation areas for each anomaly. Alongside the animations are text explanations of the sounds you’ll hear and where they’re best auscultated.
This is a great new resource for learning auscultation techniques and familiarizing yourself with normal and abnormal heart sounds.
The Auscultation Classroom launched with six initial modules:
New modules will be launching in early 2020.
To access the Auscultation Classroom while on campus, navigate straight to the Classroom.
Alternatively, you can visit accessmedicine.mhmedical.com, click the “Multimedia” dropdown on the top navigation bar, and select “Auscultation Classroom” from the top of the dropdown list.
If you’re off-campus, access the Auscultation Classroom by first logging into OpenAthens and then following either of the processes above.
Mobile access is also available for AccessMedicine content.
This month the Isché Library is featuring some of our newest E-books on the New Books Display, located near the 3rd floor elevator. If you would like information on how to access E-books, the circulation staff would be happy to assist you.

UPDATE: This problem has been fixed, 2/3/2017. Thanks for your patience!
AccessMedicine keyword searching is currently not working correctly. We have contacted McGraw-Hill in regards to this problem and will post an update once this has been resolved. In the meantime, the auto-suggested terms are working. Books can be accessed directly through the “Books” tab. Keyword searching is working in our other McGraw-Hill products: AccessEmergency Medicine, AccessSurgery, HemOnc Collection, and Case Files Collection.
We are pleased to announce that our AccessMedicine subscription has been upgraded to an institutional site license with no restrictions on the number of users. That means no more lock-outs for AccessMedicine. Many thanks are owed to the School of Medicine for contributing funds to support this upgrade. We couldn’t have done it without you!
AccessMedicine is a dynamic resource that includes online textbooks, case studies, videos, drug monographs, USMLE review questions, diagnostic tools, and more. The online book collection is very popular and it includes top titles such as Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine, Dr. Michael Levitzky’s Pulmonary Physiology, Dr. Patricia Molina’s Endocrine Physiology, and the Current Diagnosis & Treatment series, just to name a few!
As a bonus, we can now offer expanded access to the Custom Curriculum component of this resource. Instructors can register their MyAccess profiles for the added capability of developing and managing interactive learning modules where they can assign readings, give quizzes, and track students’ progress. See the Custom Curriculum web page for more information or contact the School of Medicine Librarian Liaison, Kathy Kerdolff, if you have any other questions.
Two new collections have been added to our arsenal as well:
AccessMedicine’s HemOnc Collection, which provides online access to top titles in Hematology and Oncology, and the Case Files Collection, which adds over 1,000 case files to our subscription.
We have also renewed AccessEmergency Medicine at a level of 3 concurrent users, and thanks to continued funding from the Department of Surgery, we are able to maintain our AccessSurgery subscription at a level of 10 concurrent users. The Department of Surgery has been funding extra users on that subscription since 2008! We couldn’t have done it without you either! To maximize the usefulness of those limited users, please remember to sign out when you are finished using those databases.
We hope you find all of these subscriptions useful in your teaching, education, and research!
McGraw-Hill recently?áunvelied their new online platform which is designed to integrate all of their Access products. The look is very different but the content is all there, so don’t panic when you see it. If you have trouble getting to anything, just let us know. We will post more information about the new platform soon.
Thanks for your patience!
