The Libraries are excited to announce a new digital collection in LSU Health Digital Scholar: The Tiger Student Newspaper.
Published bimonthly from September 1932 to May 1940 by the Students of Louisiana State University Medical Center, the Tiger offers a rare and unique glimpse into the history of the school, campus life, local and national events from that era, as well as medical case studies and a brief history of Charity Hospital.
This is an ongoing digitization project undertaken with technical assistance provided by Tulane University Rudolf Matas Library of the Health Sciences. Each digital document is viewable and searchable as a PDF. Currently, The Tiger Vol. 1, No.’s 1-13 are available; new issues will be uploaded as they are completed.
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 23, 2025: The problem with the Discovery/EDS search box showing an old interface has been fixed, and you should now see the updated version of the Discovery service.
May 22, 2025: If you use the Discovery/EDS search box that’s on a few of our webpages, you may have noticed that the search results appear a bit more cluttered than usual. We experienced some issues with our EBSCOhost databases, and as a result of a fix for that problem, our Discovery/EDS was reverted to an old version of the interface we have not used since October 2022.
May 20, 2025: Due to scheduled maintenance, Wolters Kluwer has advised us that Bates Visual Guide will not be available this evening. Per the notice we received this morning, the module will be undergoing scheduled maintenance from Tuesday, May 20 at 8:45 pm until 3:00 am on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. During this period, some functions may be temporarily unavailable, including password reset, new user registration, and administrative functions. If you were planning on using Bates Visual Guide during that time frame and think you might need to reset your password or you need to register, you might consider doing so before the scheduled maintenance begins.
In response to the NIH accelerating the implementation date of its Public Access Policy to July 1, 2025, the Libraries have updated the Data Management Resource Guide. Authors will now be required to publicly share their manuscripts and supporting data immediately upon publication of their work without an embargo.
Please review this resource and reach out to the Data Services Librarians, Sharon Duffy (sduffy@lsuhsc.edu) and Matthew Folse (mfols3@lsuhsc.edu), with questions related to this new policy.
UPDATE : May 7, 2025: The problem has been fixed, so all links via the Library’s link resolver should be working as expected. If you want more information about the link resolver and how to easily get from databases to journal articles, be sure to sign up for our Library class on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at noon: https://www.lsuhsc.edu/library/services/classes.aspx.
UPDATE: May 6, 2025: We are now seeing this issue with Firefox in both Windows and MacOS, as well as Chrome in Windows and MacOS. At present, Safari is the only browser not currently displaying this error.
We will need to open a ticket to have this issue addressed, but if you run into any problems, please contact us.

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.
May 2, 2025: On Sunday, May 4, 2025, starting at 3pm until 9:40pm, EZproxy will be undergoing maintenance. There may be issues when attempting to access resources using Library links and services.

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.
February 25, 2025 EBSCO will perform scheduled maintenance on the EBSCO eBooks system platform tomorrow at 7AM and expect it to be completed within 4 hours.
Per EBSCO: “During the maintenance window, users will not be able to download DRM-protected eBooks from the new user interfaces, classic Ehost/EDS, or the EBSCO Mobile App. All other eBook access is unaffected: users will continue to have access to read eBooks in the online viewer, download chapters, and download DRM-free eBooks.”
EBSCO apologizes for any inconvenience that this necessary maintenance may cause.
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.
EBSCO will be performing scheduled maintenance on their eBooks system on February 9th. The scheduled maintenance will start at 1AM our time and should last about 3 hours. Per their announcement, “During the maintenance window, users will not be able to download DRM-protected eBooks from the new user interfaces, classic Ehost/EDS, or the EBSCO Mobile App. All other eBook access is unaffected: users will continue to have access to read eBooks in the online viewer, download chapters, and download DRM-free eBooks.”
EBSCO goes on to “apologize for any inconvenience this scheduled maintenance may cause”.
LSUHSC Libraries now subscribes to Cabells Journalytics Medicine and Predatory Reports. These products will assist authors with evaluating scholarly journals for quality and impact and identifying predatory publishers.
Journalytics Medicine provides detailed reports on over 9,000 medical journals to assess their scope, history, quality, and impact.
Predatory Reports offers the largest database of predatory journals with reports on over 17,000 titles. It tracks the use of misleading metrics, irregular publication practices, and other predatory characteristics and then details all violations for a transparent view of each journal.
Look for an upcoming class from the Libraries about these new Cabells products and learn how to use these powerful resources to get the highest impact for your journal publication.
EBSCO eBooks will undergo maintenance on Sunday, January 19th, shortly after midnight lasting a few hours, and some features will not be available.
From EBSCO…
During this maintenance window, users will not be able to download DRM-protected eBooks from the new EBSCO user interfaces (EBSCOhost, EDS, Explora), classic EBSCOhost and EDS, or the EBSCO Mobile App. All other eBook access is unaffected: users will continue to have access to read eBooks in the online viewer, download chapters, and download DRM-free eBooks.
