The Library Catalog, INNOPAC, is currently acting a bit wonky. It seems to have lost the ability to distinguish between New Orleans and Shreveport. Customer Support is working on the problem.
*Edit* And all issues were resolved (#fingerscrossed) at 10:50am
The Isché Library will have extended hours for exams, from Sunday, November 29th through Thursday, December 17th. The hours are as follows:
FSA (Farm Security Administration) dentist and migrant child in the FSA dental trailer at the FSA camp for farm families. Caldwell, Idaho (November 1941) – Russell Lee
Yale University and the National Endowment for the Humanities have indexed the 170,000 photos created by the US Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information. All photos were created from 1935 through 1945. Photogrammar organizes the photos so they are searchable via map location, photographer, classification tags (medicine and health for instance), and eventually by treemap, metadata dashboard and colorspace.
Election Day is fast approaching and if you’re a registered voter in Louisiana, then early voting for the October 24th primary started this past Saturday. Early voting concludes on Saturday, October 17th.
Consider downloading the GeauxVote app, for assistance with your ballot. Or go to GeauxVote.com on the web to discover your polling location and your sample ballot. In my precinct there are 8 elections and 4 constitutional amendments to decide on.
The nearly 5 million redesign of Tulane Avenue began a couple of weeks ago. Mid-City Messenger has the story (with illustration). The project encompasses Claiborne to Carrollton and is expected to be complete in early 2016.
Being able to legally turn left on Tulane Ave? Inconceivable.!
Due to an emergency water shutdown in the Resource Center Building, the Isché Library will close at 6 pm on Monday, September 14th. There will be no water available at water fountains or in restrooms for the entire building from 6 pm to 12 midnight. The Library Commons will also be affected.
The Library will reopen at 8 am on Tuesday morning.
The Isché and Dental Libraries will be closed on Sunday and Monday in observance of the Labor Day Holiday. The Isché Library will be open from 9:30 am to 6 pm on Saturday, September 5th. Both Libraries will reopen on Tuesday morning at 8 am.
Whew..Thanks for the information from Janice Nugent, MD, MSN, School of Medicine.
Here’s a quick timeline of the various hospitals grouped together as New Orleans Charity Hospital condensed from John Salvaggio’s History of Charity Hospital (available in print in the Isché Library) with additions since its 1992 publication.
The first Charity Hospital was the provisional Ursuline Convent at Bienville and Chartres in 1736 and was called L’Hospital des Pauvres de la Charité or Hospital of St. John.
The second (built 1743 and destroyed 1779 by hurricane) and third, San Carlos Hospital or Hospital of St. Charles, (built 1785 and destroyed 1809 by fire) hospitals were built near Basin St.
The fourth hospital opened in 1815 at State House Square (Canal, Common, Philippa and Baronne) or roughly the location of the Roosevelt Hotel.
The fifth hospital was completed in 1833 and was designed to house 400 – 550 patients. The Daughters of Charity took over the administration of the hospital in 1834. A photo of this location from the 1921 resides in the Library Commons.
The sixth hospital (Big Charity) opened its doors in 1939 and closed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The seventh hospital, the Interim LSU Hospital, functioned from 2006 through 2015.
University Medical Center New Orleans, which opened on August 1st, is the 8th hospital in a direct line from that first hospital over 275 years ago.

*EDIT* And the server came back online at 3:35pm
INNOPAC is currently down due to a system upgrade. It should be back up shortly.

The National Library of Medicine has launched a medical device database, AccessGUDID, currently in beta. Searching is by device name, identification number or manufacturer. They are seeking input from users on ways to improve the database.
The Network Center in Baton Rouge unexpectedly lost power around 7:30 am this morning. Systems have been slowly coming back online as the IT department finds alternatives. Full power will not be restored until the end of the day (fingers crossed).
At this moment, we do not have access to our online catalog, INNOPAC, but the Libraries’ webpages have been restored. Please contact us for work arounds.
Our chat and email services do seem to be back up. And telephone service was unaffected.
PayPaw will be down for most of Thursday, May 14th for scheduled maintenance. All printers and photocopiers will be inoperable during this window. This outage will be campus-wide.
