Since new PubMed is here, you need to know about changes to the database, such as “how do I search subject headings now?”
In the new PubMed, the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) Database can be found under the Explore column beneath the search box. The MeSH Database has not changed and still populates into Pubmed as before.
As of this morning, Ovid access (Medline, JBI, Books @ Ovid and Journals @ Ovid) has been changed. The new access point aligns it with all other databases to which the Libraries subscribe. Access off campus is via direct login to OpenAthens.
Saved searches under the old access method are not available. If saved searches are needed, contact Reference@lsuhsc.edu for more information.
Both Libraries re-open today, Wednesday, January 2nd. The Isché Library opened at 7:30am and the Dental Library opens at 8am.
The Libraries will continue their Winter Break hours through Sunday, January 5th. The Isché Library will be open from 7:30am to 6pm today and tomorrow, from 9:30am to 6pm on Saturday, January 4th and from 11:30pm to 8pm on Sunday, January 5th. The Dental Library will be open until 6pm today and then regular hours starting tomorrow. Regular hours at the Isché Library begin on Monday, January 6th.
Happy 2020!
Both the Isché and Dental Libraries are now closed until 7:30am or 8am on Wednesday, January 2nd.
Happy and safe holidays to everyone!
The Dental Library has begun Winter Break Hours. The hours are as follows:
The Dental Library will return to regular hours on Friday, January 3, 2020.
UPDATE: The problems should be fixed so Springer Protocols and journals should be available as usual via all Library links. If you run into one that is not or need any assistance, contact us.
We are currently experiencing problems accessing the Springer Protocols and all Springer journals both on campus and off campus through the Library’s EZproxy service (this would affect all links from Library pages and our Catalog).
If you need to access any Springer resources, you can do so using OpenAthens, but only when off campus. When you go to this page (https://link.springer.com/athens-shibboleth-login?previousUrl=https://link.springer.com/) under “Log in via Athens” find and select LSU Health Sciences Center. You will then need to enter your LSUHSC-NO e-mail and password, but once logged in you should be able to use all Springer resources to which the Library subscribes with no trouble.
We will update when we have more information, but if you need any help please do not hesitate to contact us.
If you tried to log in today to any Library resources from off campus, you will hopefully have noticed that the page looks a little different:
The link to log in via OpenAthens using your LSUHSC-NO e-mail and password is more prominent. If you would prefer to log in using your Library barcode and PIN, click the green bar to expand that option:
If you need help with changing your password, PIN, or anything else, click on the blue Help bar and various options for assistance will appear:
More information about off campus access can be found in a number of places. We have a page with information including a video to help, along with LibGuides about OpenAthens and off campus access. If you have any questions about this or any other Library services, please contact us.
The Isché Library will begin Winter Break Hours tomorrow, Friday, December 13th. The hours will be as follows:
The Isché Library will return to regular hours on Monday, January 6, 2020.
The LSUHSC-NO Libraries would like to welcome our newest librarian, Andrew Olinik, MLIS!

A new holly, jolly 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.

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.
Both the Isché and Dental Libraries will close early on Wednesday, November 27th. The Dental Library will close at 5pm and the Isché Library will close at 6pm.
Both Libraries will remain closed on Thursday and Friday, November 28th and 29th. However, the Isché Library will reopen on Saturday, November 30th to accommodate students who’s exams begin on Monday. The Isché Library will be open its regular hours of 9:30am to 6pm.

*Edit* We were back up by 2pm. Thanks for your patience.
INNOPAC, our library system, will not be available starting at 12:45pm on Thursday, November 21st, and it could be out for at least two hours. This outage means that you will not be able to look up anything through the Library’s online catalog, and the link resolver in all databases will not work as well. There are, however, other options to find the resources you need during this time.
The Discovery/EDS Health search will still function and can help you locate a specific journal, book, or article:
There are many options presented that will still work, but some do rely on the system in order to work. As a result, any options to check the Library’s catalog or to use the WebBridge Link Resolver will not be available. However, particularly in the case of articles, there are many other options that can get you to what you need:
Another option to find a particular ebook or journal is the E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List.
If you need to access any resource when off-campus, you will need to use your LSUHSC-NO e-mail and password through OpenAthens; you will not be able to log in using your Library barcode and PIN while the system is unavailable:
In PubMed, you may be able to get to articles directly using the Library’s link resolver even though the system is unavailable. Since we are using the LibKey Link service in conjunction with our link resolver, if a direct link to the PDF of an article is available, then you will bypass our link resolver. However, if this direct link is not possible and our link resolver would be needed in order to find available full-text or get the article through InterLibrary Loan, you will be unable to proceed while the system is down.
You can also use the LibKey Nomad Chrome browser extension to access journals in PubMed or from publishers’ sites. This will be particularly useful in PubMed, as the extension indicates which articles are available through the Library’s subscriptions. However, since the Library’s link resolver will not be available, only those citations that have “Download PDF” or “Article Link” will work during our system outage:
Even though INNOPAC, the Library’s catalog, will not be available, Library staff will have other ways to get to journals and resources during this downtime, so please contact us if you need help.
The next Coffee for a Cause will be held on Thursday, November 21, 2019, from 7:30am until 9:00am. It is sponsored by the School of Public Health and will benefit The Cook Book Project and Second Harvest Food Bank.
*Edit* Power was restored at 11:30am.
Power is out in the Resource Center Building so there is no telephone/chat access to the Ische Library. It is unknown when access will be restored.
*update* The Nursing/Allied Health Building and Parking Garage are also on emergency power. Entergy is estimating a noon restoration.
