LSU Health Digital Scholar has a new look! Our repository has grown significantly since it was established in 2023, and a redesign of the home page was undertaken to better reflect and navigate our many collections.
Digital Scholar is LSUHSC-NO’s Institutional Repository, a platform where scholarly output and events created and hosted by our academic community are shared. Here you will find Faculty Publications, Research Events, Dissertations & Theses, two journals: the Journal of the Louisiana Public Health Association and the Louisiana Journal of Counseling, Data sets, a collection of Campus Art & Images, and Historical Collections such as academic bulletins, graduation programs and student newspapers dating back to the first days of the originally named “Louisiana State University Medical Center”.
Digital Scholar is growing in content daily and we actively seek out items to include on this open-access platform! Possible submissions include:
Faculty bibliographies
LSUHSC-affiliated authors’ articles or research suitable for open-access publication
Post-embargo Dissertations & Theses
Research Days, Events, or Symposia – past and present
School- or Department-specific professional development seminars
Data sets suitable for open-access publication or storage
Benefits to having your work or event archived in LSU Health Digital Scholar include: reader analytics and tracking, a consistent URL for inclusion in CVs and communications, access to a broader network of research, proceedings, and data sets, and contributing to the impressive body of LSUHSC scholarly output! If you are interested in submitting a scholarly work or event to the repository or have any questions, please reach out to DigitalScholar@lsuhsc.edu.
You can navigate to LSU Health Digital Scholar from the Libraries homepage, or visit it directly via digitalscholar.lsuhsc.edu. Digital Scholar is a member of the Digital Commons Network representing over 500 institutions in the Medicine and Health Sciences disciplines and over 700 academic institutions across all disciplines.
The Libraries are pleased to present the latest collection added to LSU Health Digital Scholar: The Art of Medicine! This gallery collection showcases the creative talent of more than 50 medical school students, faculty and staff. Visual art pieces including sculpture, painting, mixed media, pen and ink, glass and metal work, and ceramics were presented, along with live music by members of the LSUHSC-NO community.
The event was sponsored by SIGMA, the Student Interest Group for Music and the Arts, and organized by LSU School of Medicine L4 Class President Jonathan Legier and SIGMA Vice President Joe Starns. It was held February 21, 2025 in the Lions Building.
The Libraries are pleased to share that Digital Scholar now hosts the 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024 Dr. Joseph M. Moerschbaecher, III Graduate Research Days! Graduate Research Day has taken place annually since 1986, and in 2022 was renamed in honor of Dr. Joseph M. Moerschbaecher, III, the former Dean of the School of Graduate Studies and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at LSU Health-NO.
This event is archived in the Digital Scholar alongside other Schools’ and Organizations’ research symposia and events; it can be found by navigating to the Libraries’ main page, selecting Digital Scholar, and then Research Days & Events. There you will find each Graduate Research Day’s agenda, participant names, research titles, and in many cases, the abstracts of research presented. More years will be archived in an ongoing project to build the LSUHSC-NO institutional repository.
