You can get the answers to such questions as…

What is "red diaper" syndrome?

Which database should I use to obtain citations to journal articles about nursing theory?

All these questions and more can be answered by clicking on the Electronic Reference Service icon on the LSUHSC Library Homepage and then entering your LSUHSC ID and password. These are the same ID and password you use to access Ovid and your email account. An information screen will appear and ask you to provide some information, then type and send your question. The questions are answered by the Library's knowledgeable and friendly Reference Librarians. It is as easy as pie!! So hurry to ask YOUR question today!!
