The Libraries presented updated information about the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy on July 2, 2025. It included an explanation of the new requirements for NIH grant awardees and how they can show compliance for new publications arising from their grant funding. The recording is available to view here and the slides are available to review. There is also information available on the Libraries’ Resource Guide.
Librarians are available to help with any questions about complying with the new NIH policy when you’re ready to publish your findings. Also, we have agreements with a number of publishers to waive any fees if you want to publish an open access article. Our Open Access and Fee Waiver Agreements page has more information about these opportunities.
We are excited to introduce our new Book Exchange in the Moerschbaecher Library Commons located behind the glass display cases as you get off the elevators!
Stop by to browse the selection (of non-medical) books and feel free to take, donate, or exchange!
If you have any questions, please come visit us at the desk or email icirc@lsuhsc.edu

The Library is pleased to announce that room 401C on the Gravier side of the building is back in service as a study room which brings the Library up to 9 study rooms. We are hoping to have 3 more rooms that had been repurposed into offices post-Katrina, restored to study room use by the end of the year.
The monitor is not yet installed in this room but should be in the next 2 weeks.
