The LSU Health Isché Library would like to welcome our new librarian, Rowan Marye! Rowan joined us this month as our new Circulation Librarian and School of Nursing Liaison.
Rowan received their Master of Library and Information Science degree from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL and their Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking from Louisiana State University. They have worked in public libraries in Illinois for over a decade. Most recently, they worked in a library consortium in central Illinois. They are excited to be back in New Orleans.
Thanks for joining us in welcoming Rowan to the team!

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 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 Andrew Olinik.
From 7am to 12pm on Saturday, November 5th, there will be tests of the emergency power system that will result in 5-10 second power outages in the Library building.
These are planned outages to the campus power as they test the new East Campus Standby Power Plant.
Please be aware that they will be happening, as they may result in minor disruptions, but do not be alarmed.

The hyperlinks above will take you to our catalog pages and you can click on the “Access” links to go to Ovid from there, or you can access the full ebook collection from our Database page.
A new LibGuide has been created to help faculty, staff, and students with information about Open Researcher and Contributor IDs (ORCID). An ORCID id is a free, unique, persistent identifier that help disambiguate and identify individual researchers and their scholarly output like publications, datasets, software, and more. Check it out at this link: https://libguides.lsuhsc.edu/orcid
If you use the Discovery search box from the Library’s home page with the Safari browser, you will have issues regardless of whether you are on campus or off.
For Discovery/EDS Health, the first thing you’ll notice is the more streamlined appearance:
Even with this new look, the basic functions of Discovery/EDS Health remain the same. You’ll still have the ability to search numerous databases at once and link to tens of thousands of ebooks and articles whenever you need information about a topic.
Linking to resources is a bit different in the new EDS. Look for the Access now menu to see where the article or ebook is available:
More information about the new Discovery/EDS Health search is available on our LibGuide.
The E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List has also received a makeover:
You’ll still be able to browse and get links to the majority of ebooks and journals the Library subscribes to, along with the many resources available in databases, as well as a variety of free and open access titles.
This new iteration of the A to Z List also brings back a feature that has been missing for a few years. You’ll once again be able to see what titles you have access to by the publisher or package of those resources by clicking the Browse Databases option:
As with most Library resources, you will be asked to log in when accessing from off campus, or when connected via LSUHSC-Secure, Citrix, the VPN, or if you are in the 1542 or CALS buildings. See our Off Campus LibGuide if you need help with logging in.
We have a video about the new Discovery/EDS Health search here, and one on the new A to Z List here.
We hope you will like these changes to Discovery/EDS Health and the A to Z List, but if you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us.

October 12, 2022 Update: This problem has been resolved, so you should be prompted to log in when needed while getting journal articles when connected to LSUHSC-Secure, the VPN, Citrix, or when in the 1542 building. If you run into any issues, please contact us with the citation of the article you’re having difficulty getting to as well as what network you’re using on your computer.
We are aware there is a problem that is affecting accessing articles via the LibKey products when connected via LSUHSC-Secure, the VPN, Citrix, or when in the 1542 building.
The authentication that is needed to get to articles is not being carried over to the links LibKey provides at this time. We are working with LibKey support to resolve the problem.
Until it is fixed, if you run into a problem when accessing an article via the Library’s link resolver or directly using any of the LibKey products, you can go to the journal’s web site using the Library Catalog or the E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List. You will be prompted to log in as needed to access articles.
If you need any help with this or any other Library resources, contact us.

Due to a large price increase, limited functionality, and low usage, our subscription to the American Heart Association ebooks will be discontinued effective Monday, October 31, 2022. This includes BLS, ACLS, and PALS manuals. Both the downtown and dental libraries have copies of those manuals in print on reserve. If you need further assistance, please contact a Collection Development team member at LibraryTech@lsuhsc.edu.
On Wednesday, September 28th, Frank Wagner, M.D., SoM Class of 1961, will present his book “Two Men and a Hospital: the Evolution of Algiers General Hospital Via Henry A. LaRocca, M.D. & Ernest A. Schiro M.D.” in the Moreau Center at the University of Holy Cross.
The book details, in part through personal interviews and illustrations, how Algiers got its first hospital after 200 years of existence due the efforts of two men, including Dr. Henry A. LaRocca, who was part of LSU School of Medicine’s first graduating class in 1933.
The presentation is being hosted by the Blaine S. Kern Library at the University of Holy Cross. For more information, email schaubhut@uhcno.edu.
