To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the LSUHSC Libraries are collecting materials relating to the storm, the catastrophic flooding of the LSUHSC-NO campuses as well as surrounding partners and communities, the emergency and disaster management tasks undertaken by faculty, staff and students, and the monumental efforts toward rebuilding. This collection is being archived and made available to the public on LSU Health Digital Scholar, the LSUHSC-NO institutional repository.
This growing archive will include oral histories of LSUHSC faculty and staff of the time sharing their experiences, LSUHSC Facilities daily and biweekly campus repairs updates from 2005-2012, photos and videos (some available digitally), bibliographies of Katrina-related research and publications authored by LSUHSC-NO community members, and other materials from the years after the hurricane.
The mission of this collection is to focus on the institution and its community members in their capacity as LSUHSC employees at the time of the event; personal experiences beyond what might be shared during an interview, photos or videos of personal belongings or family, and personal items in general are not to be included in this archive.
This collection is in process; every effort is being made to ensure supporting files and documents meet PDF/UA v1 standards of accessibility. If you have any comments or questions about this collection in particular, or about the institutional repository in general, please contact DigitalScholar@lsuhsc.edu.
The Libraries will be closed Saturday, August 30 – Monday, September 1 for the Labor Day Holiday. Both Libraries will reopen at their regular times on Tuesday, September 2.
The LSU Health New Orleans Libraries are excited to announce the launch of our Hurricane Katrina Archive hosted in our institutional repository LSU Health Digital Scholar! Two parts of the collection, the Facilities Updates and Oral Histories, are live. Both collections are a work in progress, and more entries will continue to be added to these collections. In the future, three more collections: Bibliographies, Images and Videos, and Reports and Presentations, will be added to the LSUHSC Hurricane Katrina Archive when they are ready to be made public. The LSUHSC Hurricane Katrina Archive can be found here: https://digitalscholar.lsuhsc.edu/hka/.
GraphPad Prism, a statistical analysis and graphing software program, has been updated on the computers in the Library Commons on the third floor of the Resource Center Building
It is available to all LSUHSC faculty, staff, and students.

The old Medical School Library at 1542 Tulane had a high-end paging system installed in the mid 1960s which was donated by the School of Medicine Class of 1963. That system was mover to the Resource Center Building in the summer of 1989 and reinstalled.
For the last year or so, that system has been failing. As of yesterday, a brand new intercom system was installed which will make the Library safer in emergencies and make it clearer to our users when we’re closing. Thank you to Campus Facilities Department for replacing our antique equipment with some actually from this century!
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
