On Saturday, April 17th, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Bolivar Street will be closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic between Tulane Avenue & Perdido Street. In addition, Gravier Street will also be closed to all vehicular and pedestriantraffic between S. Roman Street & S. Prieur Street.
This will mean that the first floor entrance at the front of the Resource Center Building will be inaccessible for the majority of the Library’s Saturday hours.
If you plan on studying at the Library this Saturday, please be aware that you’ll need to make accommodations to avoid these street closures.

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 Reference Librarian Kathy Kerdolff and is available to the general public here or via the Library’s webpage. A PDF of a bibliography of this month’s addition is 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 Kathy Kerdolff.
The Libraries will be closed for the Easter University Holiday from Friday, April 2nd through Sunday, April 4th. Additionally the Isché Library will close at 6pm on Thursday, April 1st.
Both Libraries will reopen on Monday morning, April 5th.
If you prefer to search ScienceDirect for articles, books, or journals, please remember that we do not have access to everything that is available there. You can, however, do a couple of things to help you see what we do have access to that will make things easier.
If you’re searching ScienceDirect for a topic, when you get the search results look on the left side of the screen and select the box for “Subscribed journals”:
This will ensure that you can get the articles from journals we subscribe to and you will not run into any request to purchase the article.
If you prefer to browse for a book or journal, there is a similar setting you can use to just display those items you will be able to access. After clicking “Journals & Books” at the top of the page, the full list of titles on ScienceDirect will be displayed. On the left you have three options to limit that list:
Subscribed & complimentary: this shows the books and journals we have access to as well as a selection of free titles
Open access: these journals and books are available to everyone for free
Contains open access: there are articles in the journal that will be available for free; the Library may still not have access to the journal if this option is selected
We recommend that you choose “Subscribed & complimentary” to make sure you see books and journals you can get to:
Hopefully these tips will help make searching ScienceDirect a little easier. One important point to remember, though, is that when you’re searching ScienceDirect you’re just looking at the books and journals that are published by Elsevier and any societies that choose to have them host the society’s content. We also have access to Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science, which, along with PubMed, are among the many databases we offer that will search a variety of sources and publishers.
Another way to help you get to free articles and those we have access to through subscriptions when using ScienceDirect is the LibKey Nomad Browser extension. When in ScienceDirect, you will see an icon that says “Download PDF” for those articles you have access to:
Jennifer Avegno, MD, will be moderating a panel featuring six LSUHSC alumnae: Allison Augustus-Wallace, PhD, Kristi Soileau, DDS, A. Joanne Gates, MD, Elizabeth Fontham, DrPH, Kila Dabney-Smith, MD, and Brenda Kinard, MD.
The panelists will discuss the challenges they faced as women in STEM and how they have paved the way for future leaders.

Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of COVID-19 on the LSUHSC Campuses were updated today, March 17, 2021.
This guideline includes the following: Masks: LSUHSC requires that masks be worn properly (covering the nose and mouth) in all public settings on campus (unless one is eating). The CDC and LSUHSC recommend that masks be worn at all times except while you are in your own home. For a guide of acceptable masks, please refer to this CDC document:https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html
We continue to have issues with mask noncompliance in the Libraries and would appreciate patron cooperation.
If you need some guidance on how to use resources in Moodle or any course work, please join us on Thursday, March 18, 2021, at noon for IT Office Hours. Our presentation “Using Library Materials In Online Courses” will have information on what should and should not be used, how to locate Library materials for courses, and tips on creating links to resources.
Join Marlene Bishop, John Bourgeois, and Rebecca Bealer at the session where they will also be available to answer any questions you may have regarding using Library resources. Additionally, IT staff will be on hand to address any other issues you may be having.
You can find a link to add the session to your calendar on the IT Office Hours page, as well as recordings of the previous presentations.
It can be a struggle getting to articles when searching PubMed. Although we suggest you use our link to PubMed that turns on our link resolver, we know that’s not always the most convenient way. There is, however, a nifty little tool that makes getting articles in PubMed really easy.
LibKey Nomad is a handy browser plugin that enhances PubMed and brings the Library’s journal holdings to you. It is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Vivaldi, and Brave browsers.
When installed, you will see PubMed come to life with new links to articles:
You can get to articles directly from your search results, so no more clicking back and forth to view the abstract and then see if we have access to that article!
Installing LibKey Nomad is easy. Just start at https://libkeynomad.com and then choose your browser. Once you’ve installed it, search for LSU and then choose “LSU Health Sciences Center”:
Now you’re good to go and you’ll wonder how you ever searched PubMed without LibKey Nomad.
The benefits of LibKey Nomad are not exclusive to PubMed; if you search Scopus or Web of Science, this tool also works with those sites.
More information about setting up and using LibKey Nomad can be found on our LibGuide. However, if you need any information about this or any other Library resources please contact us.
