February is Children’s Dental Health Month.
In recognition of this annual event, Julie Schiavo, Reference Librarian at the LSUHSC Dental School, and the Pediatric Dentistry Department worked together to create a brochure on good dental habits for children. The pediatric dentistry department will be distributing this to their patients and it will also be going to the school nurses in the New Orleans Recovery School district.
All issues have been resolved.
Another Blackboard update:
As of 3:45 am 2/14/08, we are still waiting on the complete restore of the Blackboard software/databases. The process is taking longer than expected.
We’ll keep you updated as the situation changes.
Happy Valentines Day!
Currently the Blackboard system has encountered a major problem, that will require a major shutdown of the system. Blackboard Tech support needs to do a complete rebuild of the operating system.
A backup of all user information was created at 2am 2/13/08, and all transactions since that time is being stored on the transaction server that works in conjunction with the database server. Once we get the database server back online, all user accounts will be updated once it syncs up with the transaction server.
Bottom line: Blackboard is still down for the time being.
The Blackboard server is currently experiencing problems. You will experience problems with ID Works, and other services. Blackboard is aware of the problem and they are working on trying to resolve the issue.
Mardi Gras is over, but we can’t resist one final Carnival connection between LSUHSC and the glittering courts of faux royalty.
If you read Sunday’s (2-10-08) Times-Picayune Living section’s “Splendid ending: a confluence of crowns”, you may have noticed that 1982 Nobel Prize winner Dr. Bengt I. Samuelsson attended the Rex Ball. Dr. Samuelsson and his colleagues received the 1982 Nobel Prize in Medicine for their work with prostaglandins and related biologically active substances. Dr. Nicolas Bazan, Director of the LSU Neuroscience Center of Excellence, also made mention. He took a day off from synaptic signaling to sling beads at Carnival revelers Tuesday morning.
(Eds note: If you have any boeuf gras left, Dr. B, the library is taking donations!)
Welcome to LSUHSC and thanks for reading our blog! Here’s some useful tips to get a good start to your studies.
GET YOUR LSUHSC ID & LIBRARY BARCODE
