Reposting from December 14th since we’ve been receiving phone calls & emails about this service:
Due to the rising costs of online health sciences resources, the Library is cancelling Web of Science – Web of Knowledge effective January 1, 2016. This includes Science and Social Sciences Citation Indexes, Journal Citation Reports, and EndNote Basic.
The Library will continue to subscribe to Scopus. Scopus indexes peer-reviewed literature from scientific journals, books, and conference proceedings, and also provides the ability to track citations and analyze research.
Please contact your Librarian Liaison if you would like assistance with Scopus.

When searching for medical information, the LSUHSC libraries encourage the general public to use patient oriented websites such as MedlinePlus, instead of search engines such as Google. Many of these preferred sources can be found through the National Institute of Health and the National Library of Medicine. Here are some resources we recommend:
MedlinePlus: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/
NIHSeniorHealth: http://nihseniorhealth.gov/
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: http://www.cdc.gov/
National Institute of Mental Health: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/index.shtml

A new selection of articles has 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. They can be viewed in the Reference area, on the wall between the main entrance and the Library elevator, on the third floor of the Resource Center Building.
Here is a list of the newest articles to be featured, with the LSUHSC-NO researchers in bold print:
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. The database is maintained by Reference Librarian Kathy Kerdolff and is available to the general public here or via the Library’s webpage. For a PDF of a bibliography of this month’s additions, click 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 Kathy Kerdolff.
Please come to the Library and view these recent publications by our research community.
Both the Isché and Dental Libraries have reopened from Winter Break!
Happy 2016 everyone
Both the Dental and Isché Libraries are both closed for winter break. The Libraries will reopen at 8am on Monday, January 4th and resume normal hours.
Online resources will, of course, be available 24/7 during this time.
Mosby’s Nursing Consult is getting a face-lift AND a new name, ClinicalKey for Nursing! Elsevier is upgrading its popular online nursing resource effective January 1, 2016. Our staff is currently working with Elsevier on this transition, and we hope to have it all running smoothly for the start of the Spring semester. We are almost up-and-running, but there are still some issues, primarily with the off-campus access. We will share the news on the blog when everything is fixed.
The new platform includes most of the same content with some exceptions, particularly where outdated information is concerned. You will find the same, great books and journals, including books such as “Goldman-Cecil Medicine,” “Harriet Lane Handbook,” and “Sheehy’s Emergency Nursing,” and journals like “Nurse Leader,” “Journal for Nurse Practitioners,” and “Nursing Clinics of North America.” The journal coverage goes back to 2007 where available, and we do have some of the older coverage on the ScienceDirect platform. As with Mosby’s Nursing Consult, the books are updated with newer editions as the they are released. Be sure to check our INNOPAC library catalog for the most accurate record of what we have.
ClinicalKey for Nursing is also a Point-of-Care tool that is designed to help nurses find information quickly. It includes over 1,500 drug monographs, 300 procedural videos, and 175 disease topic pages.
Please contact a reference librarian if you need assistance with ClinicalKey for Nursing.
The Libraries are now on Winter Break hours.
