Nursing journals upgrade at 9AM today

Nursing journals we subscribe to through Ovid will be undergoing an upgrade today at 9AM. If you are in an OvidSP or Nursing@Ovid session at that time, your session will continue uninterrupted until you log out or your session times out.

Please let us know if you encounter any problems with access.

More info.

Use 2.0 to keep up!

Having trouble keeping up with those journals that are piling up? Don?óÔé¼Ôäót remember where those email reports are about your committee work? Well?óÔé¼?ª..

You can set up your personal Google Reader which accepts RSS feeds to monitor your favorite journals, keep track of your own publications and get notified when someone cites you, and stay up to date with society/association announcements, and your favorite blogs.

Don?óÔé¼Ôäót know what I just said? You should contact a reference librarian reference@lsuhsc.edu immediately. She will assist you in using these 2.0 technologies. This technology will simplify your life. You can wow your kids at the same time! The drawback? Once you get the hang of 2.0 technologies it will be 3.0 technologies!

    New E-Journals List

    Check out the new link on the Library’s webpage: Electronic Journals List.

    The List includes titles that are included in INNOPAC, the Library’s Catalog, and titles that we have access to through consortial resources that are considered “out-of-scope” like art, business, or any non-health sciences title.

    Videos available for Journal of Periodontology

    Do you want to see Journal of Periodontology (JOP) manuscripts come to life? That option is now available through supplementary videos in the online Journal. Visit the online Journal Web site to view our first video by Dr. Dan Holtzclaw, based on the case report “Alternative Anesthetic Technique for Maxillary Periodontal Surgery,” published in the September 2008 issue.

    Select authors will be invited to produce 3- to 5- minute videos to supplement material published in their peer-reviewed manuscripts. Videos will be linked to the published paper and can be viewed by selecting the hyperlink “supplementary material” located under the article title in the online Table of Contents. Manuscripts featuring a video will be indicated by an icon within the Table of Contents.

    Visit joponline.org often to see exciting new additions! Launching soon: supplementary PowerPoint presentations with audio.

    You can also access the video through the Library Catalog by looking up Journal of Periodontology and displaying the full text of the journal.

    Students! Get published in Public Health Reports

    Interested in publishing? The Association of Schools of Public Health recently announced that it will begin a peer-reviewed Student Column in the Public Health Reports journal.

    Potential submitters may be current students, current fellows, or recent graduates (within two years) of CEPH-accredited schools of public health. ASPH also seeks student reviewers for the column. For more information, visit www.publichealthreports.org.

    E-Links are Working On-Campus

    The Electronic Links in the catalog, INNOPAC, are working on-campus only. We are still working on off-campus access

    E-Links in Catalog Not Working

    Most of the E-Journal & E-Book Links in the catalog are still not working today. We are working with our support team to get the links working again. We hope to have them back up by mid-day today.

    INNOPAC down

    The libraries’ online catalog will be down for the next 2 hours for scheduled maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Tutorials for Full-Text Journals

    Molly Knapp has completed a Windows Media Video tutorial for accessing full-text journals via the Libraries’ catalog, Innopac. Don’t forget there is also a video for accessing materials remotely.

    Wiley and Blackwell journals back online

    We’re happy to report that Wiley and Blackwell journals are now back online after this weekend’s downtime. The most significant change you’ll notice is that the online versions of the Blackwell titles look like those from Wiley as they are all now available on the Interscience platform. There are a handful of titles that are experiencing some hiccups, but we’ve been assured by the folks at Wiley that they are feverishly working on solving the problems.

    If you need any help with these or other titles, please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Wiley and Blackwell downtime this weekend

    Wiley and Blackwell-Synergy journals will not be available this weekend, June 28-29. The Blackwell journals are moving to the Wiley Interscience site, with all content scheduled to be available by Monday, June 30. Unfortunately, we are unable to give specific times as to when this process will begin and when the journals will again be available.

    We will keep you updated on any problems that might arise from this transition.

    A new look for links

    We’re happy to announce that we’ve finally launched a new component to INNOPAC, the library’s catalog. You’ll probably first notice that the link or links to the online version of a journal title are now available in two places:

    ERM screenshot

    The links under the “This title is available electronically via” area are part of a new product we’re using to manage our ever-increasing electronic access to journals. Eventually we will remove the pre-existing links used to get to the online versions, but rest assured the links and notes in this new addition to our catalog work the same.

    We hope that you will spend some time exploring this new feature, but please do not hesitate to contact any of the Library staff if you need assistance.
