ILLiad Outage Scheduled

Because of maintenance in RCB, ILLiad will be offline from 5 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. on Monday, February 16th.

Color Copier

The Isché Library now has a color photocopier available for use. The costs of copies for this machine is 25¢ each. At this moment, it can only make color copies, so no 10¢ copies are available. It is currently housed on the 3rd floor.

Like all the photocopiers in the Libraries, it is administrated by Auxiliary Enterprises.

ILLiad Emails Working!

The ILLiad email service has been restored. Thanks for your patience.

Life Images Online

I stumbled across the Life Photo Archives this morning. The photos date from the 1750s through today and most were never published. Of course, I had to see if there were any photos relating to medicine and New Orleans. Here’s what I found:

This photo dates from June 1966 and features “Medical Technician Robert Mitchell working with the baboon that he taught to smoke for research on cancer & heart disease at the LA state Univ. medical school.” Photos are available for “personal non-commercial use.”

ILLiad Emails Down

We’ve just learned that the ILLiad (interlibrary loan service) emails have not been going through for th last week or so. We are working to correct this problem. And apologize for the inconvenience.

~Update~ It should be repaired by tomorrow.

Phelps Might Be in More Trouble than He Thought

A early release article from Cancer (off campus users will have to login using WAM) has found a link between frequent use of cannabis and testicular cancer. Research discovered that being a marijuana smoker at the time of diagnosis was associated with a 70% increased risk. Risk was especially elevated (about twice that of those who never smoked marijuana) for those who used the drug at least once a week and/or who had long-term exposure to the substance beginning in adolescence.

NLM Pubmed Tutorials Updated

Feeling Glassy

The permanent glass panels which will divide the Isché Library from the Library Commons are being installed today. The new front doors to the Library are scheduled for installation tomorrow.

Elevator Down

We spoke too soon about our elevator working yesterday. It is once again out of order. We’ll post again when it’s working.

Ische Library Elevator Working!

The renovations to the Isché Library elevator are complete. Come take a ride!

Ische Library Entrance

The construction workers have been working on the new lobby to the Commons & the Library since Friday. This morning they started working on the doorway into the Isché Library. Don’t worry you still have access. Work on the doorway should be completed in a few days.
