September Faculty Publications

A new selection of articles has been added to the Faculty Publications display in the Isché Library. These eight articles, as well as all the articles in LSU Health Digital Scholar, 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. Check out the display below:

LSUHSC Digital Scholar is an institutional repository and is a service of the LSU Health Science Center Libraries. Research and scholarly output included here has been selected and deposited by the Libraries, as well as individual university departments and centers on campus. 

Publications cited in LSU Health Digital Scholar are harvested 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. You can access LSU Health Digital Scholar at https://digitalscholar.lsuhsc.edu/.

Isché Library WiFi Equipment Updated

On July 25th we received a suggestion that we upgrade the WiFi in the Isché Library. The equipment was on the list for our IT department to replace as it was nearing end of life. IT sent out a staff person to walk through and do a survey of signal strength on all three floors and took note of all issues.

Today, August 14, 2024, all equipment has been replaced and some equipment has been shifted for better coverage. This was an accelerated timeline for IT to complete but they made their best effort to get this up before the Fall semester is fully in session.

Library email list now available!

We are happy to introduce our new Library Announcements email list! We will send out information about Library news, classes, and resources, but with no more than five posts per month.

You can sign up by filling out this form with your LSUHSC-NO email address and first and last name: https://forms.office.com/r/UZaB8zVpJr.
