April’s Diversity and Inclusivity Book Club Pick

“The vigorous effort by many public figures, governments, and everyday citizens of the world to ignore climate change has forced storytellers to confront some dark forces in human nature. Namely, our greed, our stubbornness, our willingness to get ahead personally no matter the steep collective cost.”  – John Freeman, Tales of Two Planets: Stories of Climate Change and Inequality in a Divided World 

This month the Diversity and Inclusivity Book Club, hosted by the School of Public Health’s Diversity and Inclusivity Committee, will discuss Tales of Two Planets: Stories of Climate Change and Inequality in a Divided World edited by John Freeman as its April read.

The Book Club will discuss Tales of Two Planets on Zoom on Wednesday, April 14th at 12pm. If you’d like to read and take part in the event, the Library provides access to an eBook version through EBSCO, with a limit of one user at a time.

For more about the Diversity and Inclusivity Book Club, including information on next month’s Book Club pick and meeting time, email sphdiversity@lsuhsc.edu.

Tips for searching ScienceDirect

If you prefer to search ScienceDirect for articles, books, or journals, please remember that we do not have access to everything that is available there. You can, however, do a couple of things to help you see what we do have access to that will make things easier.

If you’re searching ScienceDirect for a topic, when you get the search results look on the left side of the screen and select the box for “Subscribed journals”:

This will ensure that you can get the articles from journals we subscribe to and you will not run into any request to purchase the article.

If you prefer to browse for a book or journal, there is a similar setting you can use to just display those items you will be able to access. After clicking “Journals & Books” at the top of the page, the full list of titles on ScienceDirect will be displayed. On the left you have three options to limit that list:

• Subscribed & complimentary: this shows the books and journals we have access to as well as a selection of free titles
• Open access: these journals and books are available to everyone for free
• Contains open access: there are articles in the journal that will be available for free; the Library may still not have access to the journal if this option is selected

We recommend that you choose “Subscribed & complimentary” to make sure you see books and journals you can get to:

Hopefully these tips will help make searching ScienceDirect a little easier. One important point to remember, though, is that when you’re searching ScienceDirect you’re just looking at the books and journals that are published by Elsevier and any societies that choose to have them host the society’s content. We also have access to Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science, which, along with PubMed, are among the many databases we offer that will search a variety of sources and publishers.

Another way to help you get to free articles and those we have access to through subscriptions when using ScienceDirect is the LibKey Nomad Browser extension. When in ScienceDirect, you will see an icon that says “Download PDF” for those articles you have access to:

You can find more information about this handy tool on our LibKey Nomad LibGuide.

If you need help with searching or any other Library services, please contact us.

March 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 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.

Masks still required On Campus

Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of COVID-19 on the LSUHSC Campuses were updated today, March 17, 2021.

This guideline includes the following: Masks: LSUHSC requires that masks be worn properly (covering the nose and mouth) in all public settings on campus (unless one is eating).  The CDC and LSUHSC recommend that masks be worn at all times except while you are in your own home. For a guide of acceptable masks, please refer to this CDC document: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html

We continue to have issues with mask noncompliance in the Libraries and would appreciate patron cooperation.

Join us for IT Office Hours March 18th

If you need some guidance on how to use resources in Moodle or any course work, please join us on Thursday, March 18, 2021, at noon for IT Office Hours. Our presentation “Using Library Materials In Online Courses” will have information on what should and should not be used, how to locate Library materials for courses, and tips on creating links to resources.

March’s Diversity and Inclusivity Book Club Pick: Solito, Solita

“All of the stories (and mine) share a similar creation myth, yet we are much more than refugees, than child migrants, than people who have experienced trauma.”  – Javier Zamora, Solito, Solita: Crossing Borders with Youth Refugees From Central America 

This month the Diversity and Inclusivity Book Club, hosted by the School of Public Health’s Diversity and Inclusivity Committee, will discuss Solito, Solita: Crossing Borders with Youth Refugees From Central America edited by Steven Mayers and Jonathan Freedman as its March read.

The Book Club will discuss Solito, Solita on Zoom on Wednesday, March 10th at 12pm. If you’d like to read and take part in the event, the Library provides access to an eBook version through EBSCO, with unlimited users at a time.

Use PubMed? Then get LibKey Nomad!

It can be a struggle getting to articles when searching PubMed. Although we suggest you use our link to PubMed that turns on our link resolver, we know that’s not always the most convenient way. There is, however, a nifty little tool that makes getting articles in PubMed really easy.

LibKey Nomad is a handy browser plugin that enhances PubMed and brings the Library’s journal holdings to you. It is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Vivaldi, and Brave browsers.

When installed, you will see PubMed come to life with new links to articles:

You can get to articles directly from your search results, so no more clicking back and forth to view the abstract and then see if we have access to that article!

Installing LibKey Nomad is easy. Just start at https://libkeynomad.com and then choose your browser. Once you’ve installed it, search for LSU and then choose “LSU Health Sciences Center”:

Now you’re good to go and you’ll wonder how you ever searched PubMed without LibKey Nomad.

The benefits of LibKey Nomad are not exclusive to PubMed; if you search Scopus or Web of Science, this tool also works with those sites.

More information about setting up and using LibKey Nomad can be found on our LibGuide. However, if you need any information about this or any other Library resources please contact us.

Libraries closing at noon 2/15

The Libraries will close at noon on Monday, February 15th due to weather conditions.

The Libraries are also already scheduled to be closed on Tuesday, February 16th for Mardi Gras in an LSU System-mandated holiday.
