The elevated walkway over Bolivar Street will be closed from 6pm Friday, January 14th to 6pm Monday, January 17th
During this time, the Resource Center Building and the Library will be accessible from the 1st floor entrance only, via your LSUHSC ID. Most of the walkways will be closed over the long weekend, so please plan your visit accordingly.
Paypaw (which controls printing and photocopying) in the Libraries and across campus will be unavailable on Monday, January 10th and Tuesday, January 11th for maintenance and upgrades.
This affects both the Downtown and Dental campuses.
The Isché Library has packs of KN-95 masks available for those in need of them. The masks will be located on the Circulation Desk in the front of the Library, and will be available during all Library hours.
As a reminder, it is campus policy that KN-95 masks are required indoors at all times in public and shared spaces. This includes all areas of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors within the Library.
A new selection of articles have been added to the Faculty Publications display in the Ische Library. These eight articles, as well as all of the articles in our Faculty Publications database, are authored by at least one member of our research community here at LSUHSC-New Orleans. Each month the Library is proud to present copies of eight of these publications in a rotating display of 16. With the currently changes, we’ve decided to post the publications digitally. Check out the display below:
Publications cited in the Faculty Publications database are harvested weekly from a variety of sources, such as PubMed, SCOPUS, and CINAHL, to name a few. In addition to articles they include books, book chapters, papers, editorials, letters to the editor, and meeting abstracts, all authored by at least one member of the LSUHSC-NO community. The database is maintained by Reference Librarian Kathy Kerdolff and will be available to the general public here or via the Library’s webpage. A PDF of a bibliography of this month’s addition is available here. If you have an article you would like us to highlight or if you have any questions regarding the display or the database, you can contact Kathy Kerdolff.
The Isché Library will be closing at 6pm from Monday, December 20th through Thursday, December 23rd.
Both the Dental and Isché Libraries will be closed from Friday, December 24th through Monday, January 3rd for the official university holidays. The Libraries will re-open on Tuesday, January 4th at 8am and will resume normal hours.
Electronic access to books and journals will be available during the break but chat, circulation and research services will not. Additionally the Library Commons downtown should be available while the Libraries are closed.
Despite LSU main campus dropping their mask mandate today, as a healthcare facility, the mask mandate remains in effect on the LSUHSC campuses. This was confirmed by an email to all faculty, staff and students from VC of Clinical Affairs, Christian Winters today.
The Libraries ask that all library patrons comply with this university policy.

*EDIT* The power came back on at 10:45am. The Ische Library re-opened at 11:15 am. Fingers crossed that it stays on!
*EDIT* Spoke to soon and jinxed the power. The power to the RCB and the SoN/AH building went out again at 5:30am on Wednesday, the 21st. No estimated repair time at the moment.
Power was restored to the Resource Center Building around 4:30pm on Tuesday, July 20th. The Ische Library will re-open on Wednesday morning at 7:30am. Phew!
*Edit* The latest power restoration is 4pm. The Ische Library will not open today. Hopefully, we’ll be open again tomorrow.
Parts of the downtown campus continue to be without power, including the RCB. The Ische Library will be closed this morning… or until power is restored. The current restoration estimate is 12 noon. Library staff will be working remotely and available via chat/email.
*EDIT* With no power or AC, the Downtown Library closed at 3:15pm. Hopefully we’ll have power again to reopen at 7:30am on 7/20/2021.
