In preparation for the walkway resurfacing next week, the Isché Library bookdrop has been relocated temporarily. It is normally between the guard’s booth and the vending machines, but is currently located in the 2nd floor lobby. It will be moved back to it’s original location the week of July 6th.
If you’ve been in the Isché Library in the last couple of weeks, you may have noticed some shifting projects going on. The Library Staff has moved or will be moving materials on all 3 floors of the Library. The 1st phase of shifting on the 4th floor (the section in front of the elevator) should be completed this week. The huge shifting project on the 5th floor will begin on Monday, June 29th. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience that the noise of shifting causes.
The latest issue of the Library?óÔé¼Ôäós Newsletter has been released. Archives of the newsletter are also available from 1998 to the present.
The LSUHSC Libraries have recently purchased over 70 health sciences books in multiple subject areas of medicine, nursing, and allied health through the Rittenhouse R2 Digital Library. R2 is available on campus and remotely through WAM. Please use our library Electronic Resources R2 page for access: http://www.lsuhsc.edu/no/library/ss&d/data/r2library.html. Searches can be performed on our entire R2 collection, a subject collection or an individual book. You may also browse a book from beginning to end or use the Table of Contents to help navigate your way. To see all currently purchased titles, please click “View all Titles.” To see books in a particular subject, click the subject menu tabs at the top or the subject “books” in the center. Dentistry and public health titles are included under the subject of medicine, and dental hygiene titles are included under the subject of allied health. You can also register for a free account which will allow you to customize your R2 Library by bookmarking chapters, saving images, assigning course links, and more.

Yesterday workers began adding bracing to the tops of all the shelves on the 4th & 5th floors of the Isché Library. The project should be completed in about a week. The bracing is being added to ensure the stability of the shelves; we don’t want our library ending up like the one in the Mummy.
~edit~ The project was completed on Friday, June 12th.

Just in time for Mental Health Month comes PsychiatryOnline.com’s Book of the Month for May: Yager & Power’s Clinical Manual of Eating Disorders.
ACCESS NOW: Clinical Manual of Eating Disorders
Clinical Manual of Eating Disorders provides sound therapeutic advice based on current research and clinical practice. It includes detailed discussions of various aspects of assessment and treatment, featuring up-to-date evidence- and consensus-based information. Ranging from the determination of initial treatment approaches to problems posed by unique groups of patients, it marks the first APPI volume specifically directed toward the clinical management of patients with eating disorders-and the first book to focus squarely on what psychiatrists need to know about the clinical assessment and management of patients with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorders, and obesity.
You can access the Book of the Month from the home page, at www.PsychiatryOnline.com. You’ll have access to Clinical Manual of Eating Disorders as a PDF download for the month of May.
