Good luck on Match Day!
Matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match…
In this case, the matchmaker is the National Residency Matching Program. Match Day ceremonies at medical schools across the country begin at noon today.
Last year, exactly half of the 246 graduating students from Louisiana State University’s medical schools in New Orleans and Shreveport stayed in Louisiana, according to a 2008 article from the Times-Picayune.
Good luck to all our medical students, we hope you get your first choice! Whether you do or don’t, you may want to pick up the book Match Day: Young Doctors in Hell for what is in store for you.
University-Wide Network Issues
If you can read this, then access to the Internet may have been restored. All systems came to a halt at around 2 p.m. today. Computer services is working to restore connectivity, but services have been going up and down all afternoon.
~Edit~ All issues were resolved around 7 p.m. The problem was a series of power issues in Baton Rouge.

Faculty Pubs – 2008
Check out the LSUHSC ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ New Orleans Faculty Publications database for your 2008 publications to make sure yours are included. I check Biological Abstracts, CINAHL, Web of Science, PubMed, SCOPUS, and EMBASE.com for publications from LSUHSC ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ NO. Books, book chapters, and local and regional conference abstracts are not indexed in these resources and may have been overlooked.
If your 2008 publication is not there, please submit citation information to Kathy Kerdolff, Reference Librarian (kkerdo@lsuhsc.edu).
See you next year
The LSUHSC Libraries (Dental and Isché) are closed for the Winter Break (university holidays). Both Libraries will re-open on January 2nd at 8 a.m.
Alferez Frieze – Library Commons’ Sculpture
Yesterday another milestone was reached in the completion of the Library Commons. “The Conquest of Yellow Fever” frieze by Enrique Alferez was mounted in a specially prepared wall. (Specially prepared because the frieze weighs about 2 tons.)
Conquest of Yellow Fever frieze by Enrique Alferez
The frieze originally hung on the 2nd floor of the original School of Medicine building and was completed sometime before 1933. The frieze was removed from the wall at 1542 Tulane Avenue in 1987 when a proposed drop ceiling would have covered it; the sculpture’s champion was former LSUHSC Libraries Director Judith Caruthers. Sometime before it’s removal it was accidentally painted institutional green (prior to 1961) covering the original aluminum coating (over plaster). It was stored in the Library (both at 1542 and at the then new Resource Center Library, now John P. Isché Library). It was sent to a conservator for restoration in 1999.
Alferez frieze pre-restoration
The conservator will complete the restoration now that the piece is in place. The frieze will be beautiful addition to the Library Commons.
