Scheduled Maintenance for ClinicalKey, September 20, 2025

September 18, 2025: If you were planning on getting up early Saturday to delve into the latest edition of Clinical Chemistry on the ClinicalKey database, you might want to sleep in. The ClinicalKey database will undergo scheduled maintenance this Saturday morning, September 20, 2025. The affected time will be from 5:30 am to 8 am our time. During the maintenance period, some functionality or content which would normally be accessible in the database may not be available or operate as it normally would. ClinicalKey, and the Library, appreciate your patience, as always.

Announcing the LSU Health Digital Scholar Hurricane Katrina Archive

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the LSUHSC Libraries are collecting materials relating to the storm, the catastrophic flooding of the LSUHSC-NO campuses as well as surrounding partners and communities, the emergency and disaster management tasks undertaken by faculty, staff and students, and the monumental efforts toward rebuilding. This collection is being archived and made available to the public on LSU Health Digital Scholar, the LSUHSC-NO institutional repository.

This growing archive will include oral histories of LSUHSC faculty and staff of the time sharing their experiences, LSUHSC Facilities daily and biweekly campus repairs updates from 2005-2012, photos and videos (some available digitally), bibliographies of Katrina-related research and publications authored by LSUHSC-NO community members, and other materials from the years after the hurricane.

The mission of this collection is to focus on the institution and its community members in their capacity as LSUHSC employees at the time of the event; personal experiences beyond what might be shared during an interview, photos or videos of personal belongings or family, and personal items in general are not to be included in this archive.

This historical collection can be accessed via the “Hurricane Katrina Archive” button on the Digital Scholar homepage https://digitalscholar.lsuhsc.edu/ or via this direct link: LSUHSC Hurricane Katrina Archive | LSU Health Sciences Center Research | LSU Health Digital Scholar.

This collection is in process; every effort is being made to ensure supporting files and documents meet PDF/UA v1 standards of accessibility. If you have any comments or questions about this collection in particular, or about the institutional repository in general, please contact DigitalScholar@lsuhsc.edu.

The Art of Medicine!

The Libraries are pleased to present the latest collection added to LSU Health Digital Scholar: The Art of Medicine! This gallery collection showcases the creative talent of more than 50 medical school students, faculty and staff. Visual art pieces including sculpture, painting, mixed media, pen and ink, glass and metal work, and ceramics were presented, along with live music by members of the LSUHSC-NO community.

The event was sponsored by SIGMA, the Student Interest Group for Music and the Arts, and organized by LSU School of Medicine L4 Class President Jonathan Legier and SIGMA Vice President Joe Starns. It was held February 21, 2025 in the Lions Building.
