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.
UPDATE: August 21, 2025: You may still encounter some issues when accessing articles published prior to 2023 for these three journals. You may be brought to a search result that will lead you to the article, but sometimes this solution does not work as expected. If you need any help getting articles from these or any other journals, contact us.
August 20, 2025: We are aware of an issue affecting linking to International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants, International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, and International Journal of Prosthodontics when using links from the Library’s link resolver, LibKey Nomad, and BrowZine. This issue affects articles published prior to 2023.
If you try to get to an article using the link resolver, LibKey Nomad, or BrowZine, you will be brought to the main page for Quintessence Publishing or may see a German error page. We have reached out to those who manage LibKey and BrowZine and hope to hear from them soon.
In the meantime, you can use the following links to access the journals directly, after logging in using your LSUHSC-NO email address and current password if prompted to do so:
If you need any assistance with this problem or if you have questions about any other Library resources, contact us.

June 24, 2025: The LibKey integration that brought Cabells alerts about problematic and potentially predatory journals will end on June 28, 2025.
We were waiting for additional login functionality to be implemented before we officially announced this new functionality for our LibKey products, but you may have noticed these indicators of a problematic journal:
May 30, 2025: ClinicalKey will be performing scheduled maintenance on Saturday morning, May 31st, from 6am to 10am our time. During that time, some functionality or content may not be available.
Thieme MedOne PlasticSurgery is available for a trial period from May 19th – June 17th. Click on the link below for authentication and access. This online resource includes books, journals, videos, and procedures. Board Review questions and assessments are also available.
UPDATE May 6, 2025: We have identified all affected journals and you should be able to access all journal content using Library links. Contact us if you have any trouble or need any assistance.
May 6, 2025: We are currently experiencing troubles when attempting to access some journals using Library links. There is an issue with a handful of publishers and the IP addresses they use to recognize our users and allow access to our journal subscriptions. As a result, you may not be able to get articles or content from journals and may be asked to pay.
We are currently working through the problem by contacting publishers, but if you run into an instance where you cannot get an article, please contact us.

UPDATE: Monday, March 17, 2025: The issues with accessing all BMJ journals appear to have been resolved for now, so all Library links to content in these journals will work as usual now.
Monday, March 17, 2025: Irish eyes are not smiling on BMJ journals today. There is a problem that is affecting all subscribers’ access to all BMJ journals, both on an off campus. We are currently unable to get to any articles that are hosted on bmj.com sites.
We will update when we have more information. Please contact us if you need assistance with any other Library resources.
UPDATE: February 10, 2025: The issue has been resolved, and new links to journals will go back to how they usually appear in the Library catalog as we work through the backlog of adding the link to the records. Please contact us if you need any assistance.
January 30, 2025: Due to a problem in the system that runs the Library Catalog, new links to journals will appear a bit different until the underlying issue is resolved.
Any new links added to journal records will now look similar to those you find in the ebook records:
In some instances, you will see the old links to journals grouped in one area, but the current access will be in the topmost link:
The links will work like all others in the Library Catalog, and you may be prompted to log in if you’ve not yet authenticated on or off campus.
If you have any questions about this or any other Library resources, contact us.
UPDATE: Friday, January 10, 2025: The problem has been fixed, and all Library links to our De Gruyter subscriptions should work as expected now.
Friday, January 10, 2025: We are currently having problems when trying to access the journals Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine and International Journal of Nursing Education Scholarship published by De Gruyter. If you use Library links to these journals, you will not be able to access our subscribed content.
We have reached out to the publisher to fix the problem, but please contact us if you need an article from either of the journals or if you run into any other problems.
UPDATE: The problem has been fixed, but contact us if you run into any problems or need any other assistance.
Monday, October 7, 2024: We are currently experiencing issues accessing content for the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT) from all Library links. This affects links to the journal from the Library’s catalog, link resolver, E-Journals and E-Books A to Z List, and all LibKey products.
We are working with the publisher and our proxy service to resolve the issue.
Until the problem is fixed, please contact us if you need an article from this journal.
April 18, 2024: Journals available through LWW Online will be unavailable this evening starting at 8:30pm CDT for about an hour while the publisher performs maintenance on the site.
Any links we have to journals on LWW Online are in addition to our primary access through Ovid, or the LWW Total Access Collection, so hopefully the impact of this maintenance will be minimal.
If you have any questions about this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
The following Springer Publishing journals will be unavailable on December 5, 2023, from 8am until noon for system maintenance:
Journal of Doctoral Nursing Practice
Journal of Nursing Measurement
Journal of Perinatal Education
Neonatal Network
If you need assistance with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.

We are happy to report that through the great generosity of Quintessence Publishing we are able to provide easier access to their journals.
Now, instead of having to log in with a password, you can get to the full text of Quintessence journals by logging in via EZproxy when prompted. The records in our online catalog for the affected journals are updated to reflect this change, and you can get to those journals by clicking on the links on this page.
There are some issues with the links on the E-Books & E-Journals A to Z List, but we will have these updated to use the new access method as soon as we can.
This new access method is accompanied by a revamp of many of the Quintessence journal sites. There are a couple of things to look out for when trying to access the full text of articles on these new pages.
First, to get the PDF of an article, click the “Full Text” link underneath the article’s title to the left, and ignore the greyed out PDF link to the right:
Second, to browse through the issues of a title, scroll down when on the journal’s main page:
We hope this makes accessing content from the Quintessence journals easier. We would also like to thank Quintessence Publishing for their generosity in providing complimentary access to many of the journals we receive from them.
If you need help with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.
UPDATE: Please see our post from September 15, 2023, regarding resolution of this issue
Quintessence Publishing recently updated their website, and we are having problems logging into the online content for journals on the new site. Most links from the records in the catalog go to the old site, where the logins work correctly. However, if you are redirected to the new site, please note you are unable to log in to get articles.
We are working with our subscription agent to resolve the issue and will update when we know more.
Please let us know if you need help with this or any other Library resources.
