Stay warm!
*Edit* Campus remains closed on Thursday, January 18th because of frozen streets. Current plan is to reopen on Friday.
The main line for the Isché Library has been down since Sunday, January 14th. If you call, voicemail picks up. Please contact us on a different line or via chat or email. Sorry for the inconvenience.
*Edit* 10:10am Telephone access to 504-568-6100 has been restored.
This week we are highlighting the Energy category of the ScienceDirect EBS Collection.
At first glance there doesn’t seem to be too much of interest that would be applicable to our field here at LSUHSC. But there are some gems that might interest the eco-minded researcher and chemist. There are a wealth of ebooks on the subject of renewable energy, and some of the texts examining research in the petrochemical field may have health-related implications here in our neck of the woods. So don’t write this category off. You may find just what you need for that last piece of the puzzle.
Please take some time to review all of the categories in this valuable collection. We will only have this opportunity until the end of June. Then most of these selections will be disappearing. After the review period, we will only be retaining those texts that receive the most hits.
Both the Isché & Dental Libraries will be closed on Monday, January 15th in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr Day. Both Libraries will be open their regular hours on Sunday.
The Library is happy to announce we finally have subscriptions to six sections of JoVE/Journal of Visualized Experiments. This is one of our most-requested journals, and although we were unable to subscribe to the full journal, we hope the sections we are able to get will be of use.
You now have access to the following sections via a Library subscription both on- and off-campus:
One issue we would like to point out is indexing of JoVE in PubMed: all sections are handled as belonging to one journal, so please be sure the video you need belongs to one of the six sections above.
If you need any help with this or any other Library resources, please do not hesitate to contact us.
A new selection of articles has 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. They can be viewed in the Reference area, on the wall between the main entrance and the Library elevator, on the third floor of the Resource Center Building.
Here is a list of the newest articles to be featured, with the LSUHSC-NO researchers in bold print:

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. For a PDF of a bibliography of this month’s additions, click 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.
Please come to the Library and view these recent publications by our research community.
As we wind down our exploration of the ScienceDirect EBS Collection, we are exploring the category of Neuroscience. This group is especially interesting. The ebooks here cover a wide range of applications in the neurosciences field. Subjects range from Alzheimer’s and pain management to stress and substance abuse.
Researchers involved in the field of Geriatrics might want to review Nutritional Modulators of Pain in the Aging Population, edited by , or Physical Activity and the Aging Brain, edited by .
Substance abuse researchers might be interested in The Complex Connection Between Cannabis and Schizophrenia, edited by , or The Neuroscience of Cocaine, edited by .
Dealing with stress (and who isn’t these days)? You might want to check out Stress: Concepts, Cognition, Emotion, and Behavior, edited by , or Neuroscience of Pain, Stress, and Emotion, edited by .
As you can see, this category has it all. Take it for a spin and see if you can’t find something that is relevant to your particular interests. But don’t wait too long. These ebooks will only be available until the end of June. After that, only the most viewed selections will be added to our permanent ebook collection.
A new Blue Bike station has been installed across the street from the Resource Center building, on the corner of Bolivar & Gravier streets.
Blue Bikes is a bike share program for the city of New Orleans. For more information, check out their website at http://nola.socialbicycles.com/.
Rent a bike to ride downtown for a Saints game or for Carnival festivities!
The Dental Campus (and Library) are closed today (1/3/18). There is no running water on campus.
*Edit* The Dental Campus & Library reopened this morning, Thursday, January 4th.
As tax time approaches, thoughts turn to the complexities of finance and mathematics. Or maybe not. At any rate, this week will focus on two related categories of the ScienceDirect EBS Collection.
The Finance group of ebooks contains a selection of books relating to funding for research in pharmaceuticals and health services. If you are considering expanding your horizons in 2018, you might want to take a look at Global Mobility of Research Scientists: The Economics of Who Goes Where and Why.
And – heads up biostatistics people! – the Mathematics category may be of particular interest to you. There are several tomes on statistics and data mining, as well as texts relating to mathematical applications in simulation modeling.
So give these categories some of your attention. This special collection is available until the end of June. After that, only the most viewed books will be added to our permanent ebook collection. Your participation is critical to our selection process.
Both Libraries are now closed for Winter Break. All online library resources are available even if we aren’t.The Library Commons (downtown) should be available at all times, unless the building is closed for some reason.
See you January 3, 2018
Due to low use or extremely high cost-per-use, the following journals will not be renewed for 2018:
We examined statistics for these journals over a number of years in order to get a better picture of usage trends. The Library will still maintain access to older volumes, and if you need a more recent article you may request it via our Interlibrary Loan Service.
If you have any questions or need assistance with any Library resources, please contact us.
Wireless access on campus will be upgraded this evening starting at 5pm. Expect intermittent access for at least 30 minutes.
*Update* Maintenance was complete by 5:21pm
