New journal archives now available

We are happy to announce we have expanded the back issues of a number of journals, and they are now available online.

First, we’ve greatly expanded our access to now offer all issues published for Science going back to its start in July 1880.

We also now have online the older volumes of the majority of Clinics of North America journals. These are available on the ScienceDirect platform.

You can get to all of these by going to the Library’s Catalog, E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List, as well as through the Library’s link resolver and directly through the publishers’ sites.

If you need help or have questions about these or any other Library resources, contact us.

Construction at the Dental Library

Starting Monday, 6/13/2022, contractors will begin repairing the exterior walls and windows in the Dental Library. The perimeter of the Library will be blocked off and there will be some noise, especially at the beginning of the project. Construction is expected to take 3-4 weeks.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. If you need a quiet place to study, please use the Isché Library on the downtown campus. It is on the 3rd floor of the Administration and Resource Building at 433 Bolivar St.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this process.

June 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 PubMedSCOPUS, 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 will be available to the general public here or via the Library’s webpage. A PDF of a bibliography of this month’s addition will be available here. 

A special thank you to Kathy Kerdolff for doing an amazing job curating the most recent publications from Faculty, Residents, and Students to be displayed each month for so many years.

JAMA Cardiology now available!

We are happy to share that starting today we now have subscribed access to JAMA Cardiology. Our access starts with the first issue published in 2016.

The journal can also be accessed directly by going to https://ezproxy.lsuhsc.edu/login?url=https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology, but please remember that you will be asked to login if you are off campus.

KN-95 masks are also acceptable and required for those exposed or recently returning from a previous case of COVID. Of course, the campus clinic can provide further information.
