AccessMedicine Changes Access Profile Authentication

October 9, 2025: For several weeks now, AccessMedicine has been notifying users of an upcoming change to the authentication process for users who have registered for an Access Profile. Across the top of most of their web pages you will have seen the following banner:


This has been accompanied by a pop-up as well:


If you have an Access Profile you will need to update your profile information by October 14th to ensure it includes your current institutional email address, which you will have to use to sign in to your Access profile.
Institutional authentication methods are not changing. If you are not registered for an Access profile and are just clicking in via the Library’s catalog or database pages, you shouldn’t notice any change in authentication.

New Resource Guide for PubMed Searching

A Resource Guide has been created to provide guidance for searching biomedical literature in PubMed database. It provides a description of the contents of PubMed along with basic and advanced searching tips. It also includes guidance for creating a My NCBI account, which is now required to save searches, email results, and interact with other features in the database.

The new Resource Guide can be accessed at this link.

PubMed can be accessed through the Library database page or directly at Pubmed.gov.

Please reach out to the Libraries at reference@lsuhsc.edu if you have any questions or need assistance with searching PubMed.

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.
