Happy Anniversary to the Libraries’ Blog
Today is the 2nd anniversary of the LSUHSC New Orleans Libraries’ Blog. (No need for gifts, but the traditional gift is cotton and the modern gift is china.) In the last 2 years, we have published 452 posts which is a new post approximately every 1.6 days. We have had 8 authors and over 50 categories. Is there a subject that we’ver overlooked? Or something exciting/interesting/odd that you want us to focus on? Please don’t hesitate to let us know. We’re looking forward to great year 3. Thanks to all the Library Staff who have contributed.
World TB Day
March 24th is World TB Day. Although TB rates continue to decline in the United States (according to the CDC), the pace of that decline is slowing. Louisiana continues to have a higher than average number of cases. And while it didn’t rate a special Google logo, World TB day is featured from their search page.
Network Crash
The LSUHSC New Orleans campuses experienced another significant network crash this morning. Services are coming back online. Unfortunately, the Library’s catalog, INNOPAC, is not one of them yet. Stay tuned.
~Edit~ INNOPAC came back onine at 10:40 a.m.
Medical Words
Medlineplus.gov, the National Library of Medicine‘s consumer health information website, has created a tutorial on medical terms to assist consumers in understanding and using medical language.

The Ische Library elevator has been taken out of service.

The National Museum of Health and Medicine has been digitizing many of its historic photos. While some of these are available in their online galleries, others are located on a Flickr page.

March is National Nutrition Month
Every March the American Dietetic Association sponsors National Nutrition Month. One fun feature of their website is a fad diet timeline; I don’t think I would have wanted to try Lord Byron‘s vinegar & water diet (1820) or the sleeping beauty diet (1976) which featured heavy sedation for several days.
