We are still experiencing some technical difficulties with our Board Vitals subscription. It seems that most of the issues are with relatively new accounts.
We have contacted support for assistance and will update the blog when the issue has been resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
There is a plumbing issue on the 5th Floor of the Library. As a result of the measures that will need to be taken to fix the problem, there will be a lot of noise and movement on the floor for the foreseeable future.
Journals have been relocated in order to accommodate the necessary demolition and repairs. If you need assistance retrieving a print journal for anything from Journal of Toxicology Toxin Reviews through Journal of Vascular Surgery or Tissue and Cell through Virchows Archiv, please ask Library staff for assistance.
Also, please avoid sitting in the immediate area as it will not be conducive to studying.
All of this has been caused by coffee grounds poured down a sink. The moral of this story, then, is to find more appropriate places to dispose of coffee grounds other than a sink because you never know what it might cause.
“Underlying data feminism is a belief in and commitment to co-liberation: the idea that oppressive systems of power harm all of us, that they undermine the quality and validity of our work, and that they hinder us from creating true and lasting social impact with data science.” – Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren F. Klein, Data Feminism
This month the Diversity and Inclusivity Book Club, hosted by the School of Public Health’s Diversity and Inclusivity Committee, will discussData Feminismby Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren F. Kleinas its February read.

The Louisiana Department of Health has launched COVID Defense which uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to track potential COVID-19 exposures. It collects no personal data and does not track your location. The more people in our area who use the app, the more helpful it will be. It is available in both the App Store and Google Play.
The Library was able to add a current subscription to and purchase the available backfiles for ASHA Perspectives. You can now read all of the Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups from 2016 to present.
You can also access the archives of all 19 sections of the ASHA Special Interest Groups. Most are available for 1997 through 2015.
We hope these additions will be of help, but if you have any questions about this or any other Library resources please contact us.
The Library has made a new subject guide meant to help online instructors use library materials in their classes. More information and the subject guide can be found HERE.

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 additions will soon 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 Kathy Kerdolff.
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr Day, the Libraries will be closed on Monday, January 18, 2021. The Isché Library will be open its current regular hours over the weekend.
Update: As of Monday, January 25, we are able to access JAPMA for 1996 to present.
Original post: We have lost all online access to articles for the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association. The Library does have print issues for 1985 through 2005, and we are working to have the problem resolved.
