ScienceDirect seems to be having a nation wide problem. Attempting to access a PDF article will result in an error message. We have no timeline for this to be corrected. ~EDIT @ 1:30 p.m. Progress of sorts? The error message is gone, but now SD is asking for a login…which we don’t have. Hoping it will be fixed by later this afternoon. ~Edit~ @ 1:55 p.m. Elsevier has corrected the problem; all SD subscribed PDFs should once again be available.
Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary – 21st Ed. (2009) provides audio pronunciations for 30,000 terms.

pachymenia
saccharomyces cerevisiae
xiphoid
Taber’s is available in Stat!Ref, one of the library’s electronic textbook databases.
EMBASE.com is functioning properly and has some new features.
The best new feature is the suggested EMTREE descriptors at the search box. EMBASE.com uses controlled vocabulary (EMTREE terms and phrases) to focus the literature search to find articles about the topic. Just select the EMTREE term and search. The EMTREE term will be searched as well as the keyword.
A number of patrons have been receiving a certificate error when attempting to use the Library’s Remote Access system (WAM).
The certificate was renewed by LSU-Baton Rouge but is not propigating properly for some reason. To install the certificate, click on the from the following link. And then choose Open and then Install. Accept any other default settings. *Please note that this certificate only works with Internet Explorer & not Firefox.*
Once installation is complete (takes about 10 seconds), attempt the off-campus link from the Library’s webpages again.
~EDIT~ This issue is now resolved thanks to the efforts of the IT staff.
When on-campus many users are experiencing problems accessing videos in both Current Protocols and Springer Protocols. This seems to be an issue with Internet Explorer only. If possible try accessing the same sites in Firefox (neither Chrome or Safari worked for me). We are working with campus IT to have this matter resolved quickly.
The 2010 edition of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?óÔé¼Ôäós Yellow Book includes new or expanded sections on medical tourism, traveling safely with chronic diseases and conditions, and expert perspectives on popular travel itineraries worldwide.

Our EMBASE.com problem was fixed over the weekend. Please let us know if you encounter any problems: reference@lsuhsc.edu.
~Edit~ Users are reporting that this new version is very glitchy. We are working to resolve the issue. (3:15 pm/Aug. 3, 2009)
EMBASE.com is being transitioned to it’s new version. Unfortunately during that transition (in the Netherlands), our subscription information seems to have been lost. Since Amersterdam has already started their weekend, access will probably not be reinstated until Monday.

as well as from a vast number of Laboratory Handbooks, such as The Biomethods Handbook, The Proteomics Handbook, and the Springer Laboratory Manuals.
