INNOPAC Course Reserves

Last Fall, the Library launched our Course Reserves module in INNOPAC (link removed), the Library's online catalog. Through the Course Reserves feature patrons can identify which of their course books are available via the Library by searching a course name or professor. To search the Course Reserves module, access INNOPAC from the library's web page, then select Items in the New Orleans Libraries (Ische & Dental) (link removed) where the Course Reserve menu is located:

Here are some tips:

  • Course names are entered 2 ways:
    • Course number and title: ex. BIOS 6102 - Biostatistical methods II
    Course name: ex. Biostatistical methods II
  • The course numbers are entered using the standard school or program prefixes (ex. BIOS - Biostatistics; NURS - Nursing; SPM - Science and practice of medicine). If you are unsure of the correct prefix for your course check your class syllabus, schedule or the LSUHSC 2010/2011 Catalog/Bulletin (link removed).
  • Searching the first letter(s) of a course or professor will retrieve all results starting with that letter; likewise, searching a course prefix will retrieve all courses listed for that program.

  • Searching an asterisk (*) will retrieve all courses or professors listed alphabetically.

    • We are currently gathering title information for the spring semester. If your current course is not listed, please submit a booklist or syllabus to the Library (or request that your instructor do so). Keep in mind that due to budget limitations we are not able to purchase every recommended or required book, but we try our best to acquire essential materials.

    Please contact your Library Liaison (link removed) or Collection Development Librarian, Marlene Bishop (link removed) for further information. For general assistance with Course Reserves or any of the Libraries' resources, please contact a Reference Librarian (link removed) at the Isché Library (504) 568-6102 / (504) 568-8339, or at the Dental Library (link removed) (504) 941-8158.
