For those who are new to campus or are returning from summer break, the 5th Floor is now home to a major project to remove over 30,000 bound volumes and shift the entirety of the remaining 90,000+ volumes to make room for a new IT data center. As our previous project diaries show, this continues to be an involved, chaotic, and, at times, very loud undertaking. There is an illustration at the top of the stairs on the 5th Floor showing what areas are affected and describing more about this project.
The past few days, though, have been ones to make magicians jealous with the quick disappearance of thousands of volumes.
Some may have been in awe of The Stack on the 5th Floor:
By Tuesday morning, August 8, The Stack was no more:
However, with an additional 7,000 or so volumes still needing removal, The New Stack will arise in its place.
If you have any questions about this project or need assistance with any Library resources, please contact us.
A new selection of articles has been added to the Faculty Publications display in the Isché Library. These eight articles, as well as all the articles in LSU Health Digital Scholar, are authored by at least one member of our research community here at LSUHSC-New Orleans. Each month the Library is proud to present copies of eight of these publications in a rotating display of 16. Check out the display below:
LSUHSC Digital Scholar is an institutional repository and is a service of the LSU Health Science Center Libraries. Research and scholarly output included here has been selected and deposited by the Libraries, as well as individual university departments and centers on campus.
Publications cited in LSU Health Digital Scholar are harvested from a variety of sources, such as PubMed, SCOPUS, and CINAHL, to name a few. In addition to articles, they include books, book chapters, papers, editorials, letters to the editor, and meeting abstracts, all authored by at least one member of the LSUHSC-NO community. You can access LSU Health Digital Scholar at https://digitalscholar.lsuhsc.edu/.
If you have an article that you would like us to highlight or if you have any questions regarding the display or the database, you can contact our Librarians at reference@lsuhsc.edu.
The Library has launched an Instagram account, which can be found under the username @lsuhscnolibrary on Instagram. The Library plans to use this account to post about new and existing resources, events happening at the library, holiday closures, and other fun and interesting content related to the Library and the community it serves.
The account can also be accessed via desktop browser at this link (https://www.instagram.com/lsuhscnolibrary/). However, please note that Instagram does not always load correctly on web browsers without being signed into an Instagram account, so some issues may occur reaching the account this way.
As the project to make room for the IT Data Center continues, please be aware that the events affecting a certain kingdom have now spread to the 5th Floor of the Library.
Gloom Hands were encountered this week near a stack of journals to be removed:
As soon as this menace was handled, just around the corner another threat was faced:
Your intrepid Library staff dispatched of these nuisances, but please be careful as you go about the floor.
Room continues to be made where the shifting of the journals progresses:
Please remember that as this project continues, there will be additional noise and a lot of commotion throughout the 5th Floor during weekdays.
If you have any questions about this or need assistance with any Library resources, contact us.
Beginning on Monday, July 31st, for the first time since March 2020, the Isché Library will be open its full hours. We have slowly re-added hours over the last couple of years, but now we are back up to full staff!

The project to make room for IT’s data center is progressing well. The shifting of journals remaining has reached the R titles, with the move starting from the end of the alphabet.
The process to remove the 30,000+ print volumes is also moving along, with volumes removed into the G titles, also working backwards.
If you are anywhere between Clinical Proceedings and Journal of Toxicology, you will likely see where volumes are being stowed for their eventual removal:
If you need assistance or have any questions about this project, please contact us.
The project to shift the journal collection and clear space for the relocation of IT’s data center is progressing to where you can now see tangible evidence of the effort throughout the floor.
As we remove journals and tighten up existing space, we’re creating empty shelves to accommodate the space that will be lost:
However, since over 30,000 bound volumes are being removed, you may see some odd places where these journals are being stored as they await the next step in this project:
If you need assistance locating a journal or help with any Library resources, please contact us.
The coffee kiosk in the 3rd floor Library Commons, just outside of the Ische Library, has officially moved to its new home in the 3rd Floor MEB/AHN Atrium. For more information, please visit the Dining Services page: https://www.lsuhsc.edu/administration/ae/cafeteria.aspx
GraphPad Prism, a statistical analysis and graphing software has been added to the. The three computers in the Library Commons, on the third floor of the Resource Center Building. The software is thanks to a license from the School of Graduate Studies.
The project to make room for the relocation of the IT Data Center is picking up each day. Shifting of the titles and volumes to be kept has begun in earnest:
Since 28 rows of shelving will be lost, we have a combination of removing titles and tightening up the remaining volumes. The stacks of what will eventually be over 30,000 removed bound volumes of journals grows each day:
As Library staff works through shifting journals and pulling the titles to be removed, there will be an increase in noise and activity on the floor.
If you have any questions about this or any other Library topics, please contact us.
The LSUHSC Libraries will be closed on Tuesday, July 4th in observance of the 4th of July holiday. The Isché Library will be open from 11:30am-8:00pm on Sunday, July 2nd, and from 7:30am-6:00pm on Monday, July 3rd. The Dental Library will be open from 8:00am-5:00pm on Monday, July 3rd.
