New England Journal of Medicine redesigned their website, and the “Download PDF” link has a new appearance. Instead of a link that says “Download PDF”, it is now represented by an arrow pointing down. The download arrow symbol is located on the left side of each article’s page.
Here’s where you need to look now:

Dr. Rebekah Gee, secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health, has renewed the standing order for Naloxone, an antidote medication for the reversal of opioid overdose. This action allows laypeople to continue to receive Naloxone without having to get a direct prescription from a doctor.
For more information, see the full health information bulletin.
Parlez vous francais? Sprechen sie Deutsch? If you can understand those questions and can answer yes, then you may want to explore our last-but-not-least groups from the ScienceDirect EBS Collection.
The French Health Sciences category contains an array of medical topics, all in French. You will find ebooks on physical therapy, anesthesia, cardiology, and more specialties, which will offer you a chance to hone your language skills while you glean knowledge about your chosen subject.
The same can be said of the category German Medical. There seem to be quite a few books on orthopedics and psychiatry. I’m just guessing though because I speak neither French nor German. At any rate, you might want to take these categories for a spin and test your language skills.
This concludes the weekly spotlight on the ScienceDirect EBS Collection. This varied group of ebooks will be available until June of this year. At that time, we will be reviewing the usage of the collection and keeping the most used texts. This is your opportunity to let us know what you want and need to be able to access. By viewing a book you are voting for it. And if there is a particular ebook in the collection you feel strongly about, let us know. We appreciate your input about these ScienceDirect offerings!
Both Libraries and both campuses are open once again. Fingers crossed for no more freezing weather!
Both the downtown and the dental campuses will remain closed on Friday, January 19th. The rest of the weekend is a question mark, depending on water pressure.
If water pressure to our buildings improves, then the downtown library will open on Saturday and both libraries will reopen on Sunday.
*Edit* water pressure continues to be insufficient for plumbing use. The Libraries remain closed for the weekend.
Due to anticipated poor weather conditions. The entire campus will be shutting down at 3pm today. The Libraries and both the downtown and dental campuses will remain closed on Wednesday, January 17th. The Libraries plan to reopen on Thursday, January 18th at 8am. For the latest news consult: http://911.lsuhsc.edu/
Stay warm!
*Edit* Campus remains closed on Thursday, January 18th because of frozen streets. Current plan is to reopen on Friday.
The main line for the Isché Library has been down since Sunday, January 14th. If you call, voicemail picks up. Please contact us on a different line or via chat or email. Sorry for the inconvenience.
*Edit* 10:10am Telephone access to 504-568-6100 has been restored.
This week we are highlighting the Energy category of the ScienceDirect EBS Collection.
At first glance there doesn’t seem to be too much of interest that would be applicable to our field here at LSUHSC. But there are some gems that might interest the eco-minded researcher and chemist. There are a wealth of ebooks on the subject of renewable energy, and some of the texts examining research in the petrochemical field may have health-related implications here in our neck of the woods. So don’t write this category off. You may find just what you need for that last piece of the puzzle.
Please take some time to review all of the categories in this valuable collection. We will only have this opportunity until the end of June. Then most of these selections will be disappearing. After the review period, we will only be retaining those texts that receive the most hits.
Both the Isché & Dental Libraries will be closed on Monday, January 15th in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr Day. Both Libraries will be open their regular hours on Sunday.
The Library is happy to announce we finally have subscriptions to six sections of JoVE/Journal of Visualized Experiments. This is one of our most-requested journals, and although we were unable to subscribe to the full journal, we hope the sections we are able to get will be of use.
You now have access to the following sections via a Library subscription both on- and off-campus:
One issue we would like to point out is indexing of JoVE in PubMed: all sections are handled as belonging to one journal, so please be sure the video you need belongs to one of the six sections above.
If you need any help with this or any other Library resources, please do not hesitate to contact us.
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.

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.

Please come to the Library and view these recent publications by our research community.
As we wind down our exploration of the ScienceDirect EBS Collection, we are exploring the category of Neuroscience. This group is especially interesting. The ebooks here cover a wide range of applications in the neurosciences field. Subjects range from Alzheimer’s and pain management to stress and substance abuse.
Researchers involved in the field of Geriatrics might want to review Nutritional Modulators of Pain in the Aging Population, edited by , or Physical Activity and the Aging Brain, edited by .
Substance abuse researchers might be interested in The Complex Connection Between Cannabis and Schizophrenia, edited by , or The Neuroscience of Cocaine, edited by .
Dealing with stress (and who isn’t these days)? You might want to check out Stress: Concepts, Cognition, Emotion, and Behavior, edited by , or Neuroscience of Pain, Stress, and Emotion, edited by .
As you can see, this category has it all. Take it for a spin and see if you can’t find something that is relevant to your particular interests. But don’t wait too long. These ebooks will only be available until the end of June. After that, only the most viewed selections will be added to our permanent ebook collection.
