Going Electronic
Online Books

The LSUHSC-NO Library has many electronic resources (link removed) including full-text, online books. The books can be accessed from anywhere using your LSUHSC UserID and password or your name, library barcode and PIN. The 6 primary online book services are LWW Books @ Ovid (link removed), McGraw-Hill's Access Medicine (link removed), MDConsult (link removed), Mosby's Nursing Consult (link removed), STAT!Ref (link removed), and Thieme Electronic Library (link removed). You can use the Library's Electronic Resources (link removed) page to link to each of these services, or you can link out directly from a title via our library catalog, INNOPAC (link removed). Each product updates titles with new editions as they are released in electronic format. New titles are added, and sometimes titles are removed. We strive to keep our catalog as up-to-date as possible, and make updates on a weekly basis.

Currently we have access to over 70 Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins titles via Ovid including Devita's Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, Carpenito's Nursing Diagnosis, and Field's Virology. We have access to over 40 McGraw-Hill titles via Access Medicine (link removed) including classic works such as Harrison's Online, Hurst's the Heart, and Schwartz Surgery Online, as well as Basic & Clinical Biostatistics, Jawetz, Melnick, & Adelberg's Medical Microbiology, and Vander's Renal Physiology. MDConsult (link removed) includes over 50 titles including Cecil's Textbook of Medicine, Middleton's Allergy, Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, and Cummings' Otolaryngology: Head & Neck Surgery. Through STAT!Ref (link removed) we have access to over 80 titles including Control of Communicable Diseases Manual, Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses, The Red Book, and USPDI - v.1 & 2. The Thieme Electronic Library (link removed) provides us with access to over 30 color atlases and texts including Clinical Tests for the Musculoskeletal System, Color Atlas of Biochemistry, and MRI Parameters & Positioning.

There are also a few sources of free online books such as NCBI's Bookshelf (link removed), the National Academies Press (link removed) collection, and FreeBooks4Doctors (link removed). Select books are added to our catalog with links to the online source.
