UPDATE: PubMed personal account login and Library’s link to PubMed

UPDATE May 22, 2024: There will be no fix for this issue, so if you wish to log into your personal PubMed account, use this link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?otool=lsunolib. Installing the LibKey Nomad browser extension will help you get to articles when using PubMed.

April 25, 2024: If you use the Library’s link to PubMed, please note that there is a problem that prevents you from logging into your personal account when in PubMed. This personal account is used to save searches, citations, and create alerts, but does not affect accessing articles. We are contacting the company that maintains our EZproxy to see if there is a fix to this issue.

Until we receive more information about a resolution to this problem, follow this link to PubMed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?otool=lsunolib. If you do not need to log into a personal account, or if you do not need to email citations from a PubMed search, you can use the Library’s link to PubMed with no added troubles.

This is also a good opportunity to check and see if you have the LibKey Nomad browser extension installed. When you have this add on, searching PubMed and getting to articles is super easy! If you use Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Brave, or Vivaldi browsers, you can install the LibKey Nomad extension and find articles effortlessly. It can also be installed in Chrome in your Citrix desktop. Check out our LibKey Nomad LibGuide for more information.

LWW Online journals maintenance April 18th

April 18, 2024: Journals available through LWW Online will be unavailable this evening starting at 8:30pm CDT for about an hour while the publisher performs maintenance on the site.

Changing proxy settings in Zotero

April 16, 2024: If you use Zotero’s browser extension that aids in accessing Library resources, please note that you will need to change the proxy settings to work with the Library’s new service.

When changing the Zotero settings or preferences, look for the Proxies area, where you will need to change anything that has ezproxy.lsuhsc.edu to lsuhscno.idm.oclc.org:

Imminent deactivation of old EZproxy service and links

April 15, 2024: Our old EZproxy server will be shut down in the next few days, and any links that point to it will no longer work. Here are some tips on making sure you will be able to access Library resources:

How can I tell if I have an old link? If you have a bookmarked link or come across a page on a website with a link that starts with https://ezproxy.lsuhsc.edu…, it will no longer work when the old service is deactivated.

What should the new links look like? The new links will need to start with https://lsuhscno.idm.oclc.org/login?url= in order to work correctly going forward.

What do I need to do? Contact us! We can help you change your links. You can also fill out this form to let us know and get assistance changing your links.
