1. Select the 4th floor printer
On the Printing screen after selecting Color Printer

Ische Library Closed Sat. 8/7

The Isché Library will be closed on Saturday, August 7th. The New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board will be working in the area and the Resource Center Building will have no running water. The Library Commons will be closed as well until the late afternoon or early evening, whenever work is complete.

The Library will re-open at 1:30 pm on Sunday, August 8th.

Award Recipients

The Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Library was chosen as a recipient for the Historical Preservation and Digitization Award. This $25,000 grant is awarded by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine South Central Region.

The title of the project is ÔÇ£Digitization of the Aristides Agramonte Collection on Yellow FeverÔÇØ and will be led by the Principle Investigators, Deborah Sibley and Molly Knapp.

The goal of the project is to digitize 149 rare books and journals identified as the first materials acquired for the LSU medical school library. The books belonged to Dr. Aristides Agramonte, a prominent pathologist and a proposed department chair at LSU before the School of Medicine opened; he passed away before he could begin his position. His collection includes a large number of early publications on yellow fever. Dr. Agromonte is a central figure in the historical Enrique Alferez frieze entitled ÔÇ£The Conquest of Yellow Fever.ÔÇØ This sculpture now hangs in the Library Commons.

Happy 4th of July

Happy Anniversary, Blog!

Today (March 29th) the Libraries’ blog (LSUHSC-NO Libraries News is the formal name) will celebrate it’s 3rd anniversary. This post will be the 736th since we started with 17 authors, 48 categories, and 50 tags. The 18 authors is the most significant number to me; the entire Library Staff (both at the Isché & Dental Libraries) is only 22 people. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to make the blog a success.

As for our readers, is there a topic we’ve been missing? Or something you’d like to see more of? Please don’t hesitate to let us know. On to year 4!

And in case you were wondering, the traditional gift is leather and the modern gift is crystal. The leather would probably be more practical in the Library; perhaps a donated volume?

More Commotion @ Ische

On Monday, March 29th the old furniture from behind the Isché Circulation Desk will be removed beginning at 8 a.m. The old circulation desk will be broken down on Monday afternoon and the new desk will be set up Tuesday morning. In preparation for all these changes, reserve materials will be removed from behind the desk on Friday. We apologize for any inconvenience to our patrons.

Commons Closed Mon & Tues night

The Library Commons (24 hour study space) will be closed on Monday, March 22nd & Tuesday, March 23rd from midnight until 6 am. Outside contractors will be conducting core drilling on all floors of the Resource Center Building during this time.
