Faculty Publications Database

The Library not only purchases searchable databases. It also creates them! The LSUHSC Libraries maintain eight separate original local databases. These include:

  • Dental Materials Reviews,
  • Faculty Publications,
  • Journal Supplemental Material,
  • Louisiana Dental Newsletter,
  • Louisiana Morbidity Report,
  • Newspaper Clipping File (LSUHSC affiliations),
  • State Morbidity, and
  • State Morbidity Newsletter.

    • Information about these databases can be found at http://www.lsuhsc.edu/no/library/resources/local.html link removed. And the databases are located on the Web at http://lsuhsc-proteus.lsuhsc.edu/ris/risweb.isa link removed. While each of these databases is useful to various specialties or departments on campus, the Faculty Publications Database includes citations for publications of the faculty of each school on the New Orleans campus.

    The Faculty Publications Database is comprised of bibliographic citations and is broken into three separate files by year, 2004, 2003, and 1998-2002. Each file may contain a few citations from the previous year due to late indexing. Searchable fields include author, keywords (including medical subject headings), journal title abbreviation, year, and title.

    Included in the database are citations to editorials, letters to the editor, meeting abstracts, technical notes, book reviews, and papers in the scientific periodical literature as received weekly from the Institute for Scientific Information. Additional references are retrieved from PubMed link removed, a search system of the National Library of Medicine link removed that provides access to MEDLINE and other related databases. Also included in the Faculty Publications Database are citations to books and book chapters, which are contributed directly by faculty members and by vendor alerts.

    Faculty members are invited and encouraged to submit citations for inclusion in the current database. Please send complete references to
