Royal Society Publishing has opened their archive to the public free of charge. This archive includes “all articles from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, first published in 1665 and officially recognised as the world’s first ever peer-reviewed journal.” The archive covers 250 years of scientific discovery and includes covers all the publishers journals. Only articles more than 70 years old will be accessible. My favorite from the first volume (1665) is “A Relation of Persons Killed with Subterraneous Damps.”
LSUHSC Libraries do have access to the most recent content that is not free to the public. Access to recent matieral is available to LSUHSC faculty, staff & students. It can be accessed off-campus with a valid LSUHSC library barcode & PIN. You can find more information at our remote access webpage.
ScienceDirect has a couple of bugs that make simply saving an article difficult. While the save icon may appear once you have opened the PDF of an article; clicking the icon does nothing. Of course, sometimes the icon doesn’t appear at all. Here are some work arounds to actually save your article.
Method 1: Right Mouse Click Save – Right mouse click over the PDF link in the Table of Contents display and choose “Save Target As.” This will save the PDF to your specified location. Be sure to change the default name. Unfortnately this method does not work on the Library public computers.
Method 2: Print & Re-Scan – Print the article & re-scan if you need an e-copy. Unfortunately this is wasteful.
Method 3: Print Virtually – If you have virtual print software (Adobe Acrobat but not Adobe Reader) loaded on your computer. Open the article. Click print, but select Print to PDF to virtually print the item to a new location. There are a number of free programs to accomplish this task.
Method 4: PDF Downloader – To use the ScienceDirect PDF Downloader, verify which articles on a Table of Contents page, you want.
a. Use the check boxes on the left, to select.
b. At the tope of the page is a link to the PDF downloader (see image below), click on this link.
c. A java update may need to Run to use the downloader.
d. A new popup box will appear that will allow you to select the naming convention and location of the download. 
e. This method does not work with all browsers.
Method 5: Email – Once the PDF is opened, select the Send icon from the top. You must have a default email client (not web-based email) for this method to work. Click Attach to Email & Send Copy (see images below).

We are working with Science Direct to correct these issues.
The Libraries have used the social bookmarking service, Delicious for several years to share important links. The service was recently sold by Yahoo and a new website was launched yesterday. Unfortunately, many of the Libraries’ webpages used tag cloud feeds which are not supported at the moment; this may change by tomorrow. Hopefully this will all be settled by the end of the week.
In case you missed it last week, the Libraries have updated the look of the catalog,INNOPAC.
We’re still updating all handouts, tutorials, and presentations. We hope to have that process completed soon.
If you’re on campus, the new version of the catalog will automatically default to New Orleans Libraries (one less click!) but if you’re off campus, you’ll see the full catalog that we share with the Shreveport Libraries. Just click on the Search New Orleans Libraries link or use the pull down menu to Limit to New Orleans Libraries

Micromedex Drug Information is now available for Android phones.
We’ve previously mentioned the Drug Information app for Blackberry and iPhone way back in January 2010, it’s nice to see this drug information app for that *other* mobile operating system.
The Aristides Agramonte Yellow Fever Collection was featured on the blog of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine/South Central Region and in the LOUIS: Louisiana Library Network newsletter (p.5-6). Great press for an important collection!
An obituary for Dr. Ruth Aleman, a revered New Orleans pediatrician, was recently added to the LOUISana Digital Library. Dr. Aleman made amazing strides for women in medicine in the early 1900ÔÇÖs, most noted is her status of being the only woman to head staff at Hotel Dieu.
Over a span of many years Dr. Aleman served as nurse during World War I, graduated from Medical School and worked as an instructor of pediatrics at the Hotel Dieu School of Nursing and Tulane University. For sixteen years she participated in private practice and between 1930 and 1945 she remained a visiting physician at Charity Hospital.
To read more about her accomplishments before her death on November 11, 1958 visit the LOUISiana Digital Library Collection or click here.
Interestingly enough, Dr. Aleman is also a relative of one of the circulation associates at the John P. Isch?® Library.
The Electronic Journals List will be unavailable Tuesday June 21st, from 7pm until 9pm. Links to journals from the Library’s catalog will still work during this outage.

Embryo is new app for iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad from the NLM. This app provides a collection of digital serial sections of early stage human embryos for mobile devices. Features include human fertilization videos, photo micrographs of early-stage embryo development, 2D and 3D digital images using visual stack dissections, and a pregnancy calculator.
Embryo is especially cool because LSUHSC-NO scientists were involved in it’s creation. The app is a collaborative project between the NLM, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD), the Virtual Human Embryo Project at LSUHSC-NO and the National Museum of Health & MedicineÔÇÖs Human Developmental Anatomy Center.
The Virtual Human Embryo Project was developed in the early 2000’s as a collaboration between embryologist Dr. Raymond Gasser at LSUHSC and the Human Developmental Anatomy Center in Washington DC. Dr. John Cork at LSUHSC joined the project at its inception as the software developer with a special interest in 3D-reconstruction. The images generated from the earlier project provide the basis for Embryo.

On Tuesday, April 26th, Dr. Catherine Ulbricht, co-founder of Natural Standard, will appear as an authoritative guest on the nationally syndicated television program, The Dr. Oz Show. Dr. Mehmet Oz will discuss Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and the stigmas that have long been associated with this specialty. Dr. Ulbricht is Chief Editor of both the Natural Standard Research Collaboration and Journal of Dietary Supplements, and she is the Senior Attending Pharmacist at Massachusetts General Hospital.
