December Faculty Publications

The last selection of articles for this year 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/.  

If you have an article that you would like us to highlight or if you have any questions regarding the display or the database, you can contact our Librarians at reference@lsuhsc.edu.

Small changes to logging into Library resources

November 13, 2024: We’ve made a couple of changes in the background systems that help you log into Library resources, and you may see some small changes here and there.

If you are on campus using a wired workstation or connected to the LSUHSC-Secure wireless network, you may be asked to enter your full LSUHSC-NO email address when you see this screen:

After you’ve entered your entire LSUHSC-NO email account or chosen your LSUHSC-NO account you’ve previously used, you may see this box, where you will just need to enter your username (the bit before the @lsuhsc.edu) and your current password:

When off campus, you will notice you may be asked to complete the Multifactor Authentication (MFA), where you will need to enter a two-digit number in your Microsoft Authenticator app or confirm via a phone call that you are trying to log in:

If you’ve logged in elsewhere in your session, such as to access the Office 365 Outlook webmail, you may not be asked to provide any of the above as your previously-entered credentials will transfer to the systems that help with logging into Library resources.

Also, if you log in directly to sites using the Library’s OpenAthens setup, you will see the same prompts as above.

If you do not have Multifactor Authentication set up, you will see a message similar to this and will be unable to proceed:

If you see this screen, you will need to set up Multifactor Authentication to continue to log in to Library resources. You can do so by referring to the “Enroll in MFA” section on this page: https://www.lsuhsc.edu/admin/it/security/mfa/microsoft-mfa.aspx. If you need assistance with this, please contact the Help Desk or your school’s computer supporters.

If you have any questions about this or need any other assistance with Library resources, please contact us.
