Library News Upgraded

The LSUHSC Libraries’ Blog has been upgraded to WordPress v.2.8.4. The transition for our readers should appear seamless (but if it doesn’t please let me know). The biggest change is that the blog now works with campus security protocols. So if you would like to make a comment AND you’re an LSUHSC user, you can just login with your regular LSUHSC userid & password. For those non-LSUHSC readers, you are still welcome to create a login as a subscriber and comment away.

Computer Lab goes keyless

The archaic days of checking out a key to turn on a computer are behind us!

Beginning today, the computer lab on the fourth floor of the library is keyless. All you need to use it are a valid LSUHSC user ID and password. Stopping at the Circulation desk for a key is unnecessary if you plan to work in the lab.

The 8 computers outside the lab will continue to use key access for those patrons who either do not have a LSUHSC logins, or are having difficulty with their logins. To check out a computer key for those computers, you will still need a LSUHSC ID.

TIPS:
DO NOT save work to the computer. Use a flash drive or save to your personal drive on the network.

Computers are automatically erased every day. Anything left on the computer will not remain there the next day.

Computer lab use is expected to comply with the acceptable use policies as set forth under CM-42 – Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure. Failure to comply with these rules can result in revoked computer privleges. So keep it clean and work/school related, folks!

The Isché & Dental Libraries will be closed Sunday & Monday for the Labor Day holiday. The Isché Library will be open its normal Saturday hours of 9:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
