iOS Wi-Fi Instructions Updated

Would you like to use your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch on the campus Wi-Fi but don’t know where to start? We have updated instructions that will walk you through the steps needed in order to get your favorite iOS device to work on the LSUHSC Wi-Fi network. The handouts can be found via the Library’s site under Mobile Devices and Wireless Instructions.

E-Journals List Outage

The Electronic Journals List will be unavailable Tuesday June 21st, from 7pm until 9pm. Links to journals from the Library’s catalog will still work during this outage.

ScienceDirect titles now working

We’re happy to report that all ScienceDirect titles are now working. If you encounter any problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.

ScienceDirect titles now working

Currently we are unable to access all of our ScienceDirect titles. This also affects articles you might be attempting to access via PubMed’s LinkOut. We apologize for the inconvenience, but will update as soon as our access has been restored.
Science Direct titles should be working again. Please call the Library at 504-568-6100 if you experience problems.

Wiley and Blackwell journals back online

We’re happy to report that Wiley and Blackwell journals are now back online after this weekend’s downtime. The most significant change you’ll notice is that the online versions of the Blackwell titles look like those from Wiley as they are all now available on the Interscience platform. There are a handful of titles that are experiencing some hiccups, but we’ve been assured by the folks at Wiley that they are feverishly working on solving the problems.

If you need any help with these or other titles, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Wiley and Blackwell downtime this weekend

Wiley and Blackwell-Synergy journals will not be available this weekend, June 28-29. The Blackwell journals are moving to the Wiley Interscience site, with all content scheduled to be available by Monday, June 30. Unfortunately, we are unable to give specific times as to when this process will begin and when the journals will again be available.

We will keep you updated on any problems that might arise from this transition.

A new look for links

We’re happy to announce that we’ve finally launched a new component to INNOPAC, the library’s catalog. You’ll probably first notice that the link or links to the online version of a journal title are now available in two places:

The links under the “This title is available electronically via” area are part of a new product we’re using to manage our ever-increasing electronic access to journals. Eventually we will remove the pre-existing links used to get to the online versions, but rest assured the links and notes in this new addition to our catalog work the same.

We hope that you will spend some time exploring this new feature, but please do not hesitate to contact any of the Library staff if you need assistance.
