Success! Medical Information Day 2005
The LSUHSC John P. Isché Library celebrated Medical Information Day on April 11, 2005. The theme this year was "Information Emergency!" An exhibit was assembled in the Atrium (between the Nursing/Allied Health and Medical Education Buildings). Information on Library resources was handed out to hundreds of LSUHSC faculty, staff, and students.

Additionally, the Library offered 5 classes the following week focusing on specific Library resources. The classes were as follows:

¤ Cited Reference Searching in the Web of Science Database (link removed),
¤ MICROMEDEX (link removed),
¤ Navigating E-Journals (link removed),
¤ PubMed Basics (link removed), and
¤ RefWorks (link removed).

The classes were well attended and will be offered again in the coming months. For information on any of these classes, please contact a Reference Librarian at the Isché Library (504) 568-6102 / (504) 568-8339.

The Medical Library Association has declared April 11th as "Medical Information Day." The observance celebrates the invaluable information and vast range of services medical librarians provide for their institutions and local communities.
