The LSUHSC Campus will be closed on Wednesday, September 11th in anticipation of Hurricane Francine. The Libraries will be closed this day. Monitor campus information sources to learn whether or not we will reopen on Thursday, September 12th or Friday, September 13th.
The CINAHL class scheduled for tomorrow will be rescheduled for a future date.
On July 25th we received a suggestion that we upgrade the WiFi in the Isché Library. The equipment was on the list for our IT department to replace as it was nearing end of life. IT sent out a staff person to walk through and do a survey of signal strength on all three floors and took note of all issues.
Today, August 14, 2024, all equipment has been replaced and some equipment has been shifted for better coverage. This was an accelerated timeline for IT to complete but they made their best effort to get this up before the Fall semester is fully in session.
The Isché Library returns to its regular hours, Thursday, August 1st. The Library is open from 7:30am to 11pm Monday-Thursday, 7:30am to 6pm on Friday, 9:30am to 6pm on Saturday, and 9:30am to 11pm on Sunday.
The Dental Library returned to regular hours on July 1st.
University IT has updated the EndNote download site, on July 22, 2024. There are instructions for installing EndNote21 on your personal computer or on campus InTune computers. If you have an older campus computer, you may need to create a ticket with your local supporter. EndNote is now available for all faculty, staff and students thanks to an annual subscription courtesy of University IT.
The Libraries have created a Resource Guide to support EndNote, as well as RefWorks, an alternate citation manager.
*Edit* Wednesday, July 10, 2024 11am – the stairs have reopened!
The Isché Library stairs are unavailable due to recarpeting. The elevator is the only way to access the upper floors of the Library at the moment. Hopefully this project will be complete soon.
Both Libraries will be closed on Thursday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day. Additionally the Dental Library will close at 5pm on Wednesday, July 3rd and the Isché Library will close at 6pm on that day.
*Edit 7/2/2024 2:30pm – the Commons area is now reopened for use.
The main study area of the downtown Library Commons will be closed on Tuesday, July 2, 2024 for carpet tile replacement and may still be closed on Wednesday, July 3rd.
*Edit* Monday, July 1 – only one side of the TV area was completed on Friday, the other side will be worked on today.
The Library Commons area with the television monitors will be closed tomorrow, June 28, 2024 for carpet replacement. The furniture will be moved out of those spaces into the tiled area, so there will be some noise while this is happening.
