Expanded Access to MD Consult
The LSUHSC Library is pleased to announce that the School of Medicine (New Orleans) has generously expanded the availability of MDConsult to the LSUHSC Community. It is accessible as a hyperlink from the Library's web page http://www.lsuhsc.edu/library/NO link removed as well as directly from the LSUHSC web site http://www.lsuhsc.edu/mdconsult link removed.
MDConsult is available to all LSU Health Sciences Center personnel with their LSUHSC User ID and Password. First time access requires that several questions be answered, and a "sign up" agreement accepted. Subsequent logins then require only the LSUHSC User ID and Password.
What is MDConsult?
MDConsult is an online resource containing full-text access to over 35 reference texts link removed, 45 clinical journals link removed, 600+ practice guidelines, drug information, patient handouts and more. MDConsult, while designed with medical clinicians in mind, will provide additional resources for the Allied Health, Dentistry, Graduate School and Nursing professions as well.
The Reference Librarians are incorporating instruction of MDConsult into their Computer Classes. Contact one of the Librarians via the Electronic Reference Service link removed or in the Reference Department at (504) 568-6102 or (504) 568-8339 on the Main Campus or (504) 619-8507 on the Dental Campus for information on searching MDConsult, registering for or setting up a class, or for any additional information about the Library's resources. User ID and Password questions should be directed to the individual department's computer support personnel.
Remember: LSUHSC - NO has a limited number of simultaneous user licenses. Please use the official MDConsult "Log Off" option upon completion of the session to allow other LSUHSC users access.
After logout, the user is directed to MDConsult's Main web page. LSUHSC User IDs and Passwords will not be accepted at this location. LSUHSC personnel must login through the University's server.
