If your LSUHSC password is ready to expire, it might be a safer bet to change it at a wired computer, rather than attempting to change it while connected (or attempting to connect) to the wireless. Because of individal computer caching issues, the new password does not always work perfectly. Passwords may be changed at any of the Library’s public PCs by accessing your LSUHSC webmail.
ScienceDirect seems to be having a nation wide problem. Attempting to access a PDF article will result in an error message. We have no timeline for this to be corrected. ~EDIT @ 1:30 p.m. Progress of sorts? The error message is gone, but now SD is asking for a login…which we don’t have. Hoping it will be fixed by later this afternoon. ~Edit~ @ 1:55 p.m. Elsevier has corrected the problem; all SD subscribed PDFs should once again be available.
The following Resource Guides have been updated:
Resource Guides are instructional tools to introduce users to basic information. If you think the Library should add a Resource Guide, please let us know.

With so many students returning to campus for the Fall semester, we’re seeing a number of issues accessing the wireless network. If the directions that the Library or Nursing School have posted aren’t working out. Try not checking off any of the certificate authorities. When the popup box comes up to accept the security certificate, wait a few moments before clicking OK. It seems like if you click through the boxes too quickly, you end up stuck in a login loop.
If this doesn’t work, we can try to help in the Library or you can hunt down a computer supporter in your school.
