LSU Health Digital Scholar has a new look! Our repository has grown significantly since it was established in 2023, and a redesign of the home page was undertaken to better reflect and navigate our many collections.
Digital Scholar is LSUHSC-NO’s Institutional Repository, a platform where scholarly output and events created and hosted by our academic community are shared. Here you will find Faculty Publications, Research Events, Dissertations & Theses, two journals: the Journal of the Louisiana Public Health Association and the Louisiana Journal of Counseling, Data sets, a collection of Campus Art & Images, and Historical Collections such as academic bulletins, graduation programs and student newspapers dating back to the first days of the originally named “Louisiana State University Medical Center”.
Digital Scholar is growing in content daily and we actively seek out items to include on this open-access platform! Possible submissions include:
Faculty bibliographies
LSUHSC-affiliated authors’ articles or research suitable for open-access publication
Post-embargo Dissertations & Theses
Research Days, Events, or Symposia – past and present
School- or Department-specific professional development seminars
Data sets suitable for open-access publication or storage
Benefits to having your work or event archived in LSU Health Digital Scholar include: reader analytics and tracking, a consistent URL for inclusion in CVs and communications, access to a broader network of research, proceedings, and data sets, and contributing to the impressive body of LSUHSC scholarly output! If you are interested in submitting a scholarly work or event to the repository or have any questions, please reach out to DigitalScholar@lsuhsc.edu.
You can navigate to LSU Health Digital Scholar from the Libraries homepage, or visit it directly via digitalscholar.lsuhsc.edu. Digital Scholar is a member of the Digital Commons Network representing over 500 institutions in the Medicine and Health Sciences disciplines and over 700 academic institutions across all disciplines.

EBSCO will be performing scheduled maintenance on their eBooks system on February 9th. The scheduled maintenance will start at 1AM our time and should last about 3 hours. Per their announcement, “During the maintenance window, users will not be able to download DRM-protected eBooks from the new user interfaces, classic Ehost/EDS, or the EBSCO Mobile App. All other eBook access is unaffected: users will continue to have access to read eBooks in the online viewer, download chapters, and download DRM-free eBooks.”
EBSCO goes on to “apologize for any inconvenience this scheduled maintenance may cause”.
Rebecca Bealer will be presenting at IT Office Hours today, November 21, 2024 at noon, via Zoom. She will be speaking about using LibKey Nomad to better discover accessible research materials. If you can’t attend today, the presentation will be archived on the IT website.
UPDATE, Thursday, October 24, 2024: All problems with the Library catalog, the system the staff uses, and the WebBridge link resolver have been fixed. If you encounter any issues, please contact us.
Wednesday, October 23, 2024: We are experiencing extreme slowness and non responsiveness from the Library catalog. It is also making it difficult to check out and renew items in the Library.
This issue is also affecting any traffic that is going to our local WebBridge link resolver; the majority of link resolver traffic is handled by LibKey, so you may not see any problems when accessing articles.
We will update when we have more information about this issue.
