Accessing Library resources from the Allied Health building

We’ve had reports of a few users who have had trouble getting to Library resources and journal articles when using wired workstations in the Allied Health building. We are currently working with IT to figure out the issue.

In the meantime, if you find that you are being asked to pay for an article or are unable to access any resources available through the Library, accessing the resources through Citrix is a temporary workaround.

You can open Citrix using this link. IT also has many helpful tips on using Citrix. Additionally, if you are on campus and want to open a Citrix session, you will not be asked to perform the multi-factor authentication, but you will if off campus.

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

December 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. With the currently changes, we’ve decided to post the publications digitally. 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. The database is currently maintained by Metadata & Digital Projects Librarian Andrew Olinik.

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.

December’s DEI Book Club Pick

“Drug overdose had already taken the lives of 300,000 Americans over the past fifteen years, and experts now predicted that 300,000 more would die in only the next five. It is now the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of fifty, killing more people than guns or car accidents, at a rate higher than the HIV epidemic at its peak.”  – Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America

This month the DEI Book Club, hosted by the School of Public Health, will discuss Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America by Beth Macy as its December read.

The Book Club will discuss Dopesick on Zoom on Wednesday, December 7th at 12pm.

November’s DEI Book Club Pick

“Reforms that supposedly improve the current system run the risk of entrenching dangerous, violent, racist, classist, ableist, oppressive institutions–making them even harder to uproot. When captivity is perceived as kinder and gentler, it becomes more acceptable and less of an urgent priority to confront, even though it continues to destroy countless lives.”  – Prison by Any Other Name: The Harmful Consequences of Popular Reforms  

This month the DEI Book Club, hosted by the School of Public Health, will discuss Prison by Any Other Name: The Harmful Consequences of Popular Reforms by Maya Schenwar and Victoria Law as its November read.

The Book Club will discuss Prison by Any Other Name on Zoom on Friday, November 18th at 12pm. If you’d like to read and take part in the event, the Library provides access to an eBook version through EBSCO.

For more about the DEI Book Club, including information on next month’s Book Club pick and meeting time, email sphdiversity@lsuhsc.edu.
