Isché Library
Saturday, Oct. 30th 9:30-6

and we promise that no zombies or Zombrarian will be present. But just in case, here’s the University of Florida Libraries Zombie Survival LibGuide.
Wired Ports on the downtown campus will be switched over to using the 802.1x protocol at 9 am on Monday, October 25th. This is the same protocol that has been in use on the wireless network for sometime.
The email from the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Information Technology (on October 21st at 10:40 am to all LSUHSC New Orleans faculty, staff, and students) states “If you do experience a problem with a wired connection, please make an appointment with your schoolÔÇÖs IT supporters to have the problem addressed. In the interim, please use your wireless connection.”
Starting at 5 am on Saturday, October 9th, there will be a partial electrical shutdown at the Resource Center Building. Receptacles and lighting on the Gravier Street side of the Resource Center Building will not be operational during this outage. The work will last approximately 8 hours.
The Library and Library Commons will remain open despite the outage.
Are your library skills a little rusty? Come to one of our General Library Orientation classes and learn about the our resources, how to search the online catalog and PubMed, and how to request an Interlibrary Loan. The schedule is now posted for October-December. Contact Carolyn Bridgewater for more information.
Still not sure how to manage and write your bibliographies using Refworks? Look no further.
Introduction to RefWorks will be offered on Wednesday, September 29th from 2-3 pm in the Isch?® Library’s computer classroom (room 405).
If you cannot make this date, the class will be offered in the same location on Thursday, November 4th, 10-11 am.

The Wired Ports in the Library have reverted to allow “guest” laptops to work.
————————————
Computer Services pushed through a change to all wired (requiring a cord) ports on the downtown campus yesterday, including the ones in the Library and the Library Commons. The ports will now required that any laptop connecting will need to be included in the network. (How to tell if your laptop is “in the network?” Do you use your LSUHSC userid and password to login? Then yes. If not? Then no.) Users who have “guest” computers will notice a message in the tray of their taskbar saying their Local Area Network has Limited Connectivity. 
Wireless access is still available for non-network laptops.
