NEW USERS, PLEASE USE THE SECOND LINK ON OUR BOARDVITALS DATABASE PAGE WHEN YOU REGISTER. (SEE BELOW)
If you have already registered, and you are not able to see the question banks for LSU Health Sciences Center – New Orleans, please contact the library for assistance. You can check your access by going to “Add/Manage Question Bank Favorites”.
If you see LSU Health Science Center – New Orleans, you are good to go.
If you see Louisiana State University – Shreveport, your access is not correct and we will need to have BoardVitals correct your account.
Please let us know if you have any problems or need further assistance.
We are still experiencing some technical difficulties with our Board Vitals subscription. It seems that most of the issues are with relatively new accounts.
We have contacted support for assistance and will update the blog when the issue has been resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology is no longer offering an institutional subscription to their ebooks, and as such, our access will expire on November 15, 2020.
The library has shared the cost of this subscription with the Department of Ophthalmology for the past few years, and we have enjoyed working with the department to provide access to these books.
The Chronicle of Higher Education has reported a data security incident. Some account holder names, email addresses, usernames, and passwords for some online accounts to chronicle.com, philanthropy.com, and/or chroniclevitae.com were posted online by unauthorized parties. Account holders should have received notification from the Chronicle, and the Chronicle reset all passwords. If account holders use the same usernames and passwords for any other online account, The Chronicle recommends that they change the passwords to those accounts as well. Complete information about what happened can be read at https://www.chronicle.com/page/notice-of-data-breach.

McGraw-Hill accidentally turned off access to some of our paid subscriptions. Sorry for the inconvenience! Hopefully they will fix this as soon as possible!
McGraw-Hill additional access is through June 1st. Those resources are AccessBiomedical Science, Cardiology, Pediatrics, Physiotherapy, and F.A. Davis PT collection (part of AccessPhysiotherapy).
Ovid/LWW additional access is through May 19th. Those resources are 5-MinuteConsult, Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy, Bates Visual Guide to Physical Examination, LWW Health Library Clerkship/Clinical Rotations, LWW Health Library Exercise Science, LWW Health Library PA Rotations/Specialties.
It looks like our LWW Health Library access has been restored. We are still seeing a few books listed in our collections that we shouldn’t be seeing, but the good news is access is mostly fully restored. LWW also opened up a few extra collections during the CovID-19 outbreak. We have extra access to the following collections through May 19th: Clerkship/Clinical Rotations, PA Rotations and Specialties, and Exercise Science. We will blog more about those and a few other things as soon as the details are wrapped up. Thanks to Ovid/LWW for offering us those extended trials during this challenging time.
