Faculty Pubs – 2008

Check out the LSUHSC ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ New Orleans Faculty Publications database for your 2008 publications to make sure yours are included. I check Biological Abstracts, CINAHL, Web of Science, PubMed, SCOPUS, and EMBASE.com for publications from LSUHSC ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ NO. Books, book chapters, and local and regional conference abstracts are not indexed in these resources and may have been overlooked.
If your 2008 publication is not there, please submit citation information to Kathy Kerdolff, Reference Librarian (kkerdo@lsuhsc.edu).

Noon on Sundays

The John P. Isché Library will start opening at 12 noon on Sundays starting, January 11th. The Library will continue to close at 12 midnight.

Ische Internal Elevator Down

The Isché Library elevator will be out of service for the forseeable future. It is being upgraded along with the main elevators for the building. It was taken out of service on December 23rd.

See you next year

The LSUHSC Libraries (Dental and Isché) are closed for the Winter Break (university holidays). Both Libraries will re-open on January 2nd at 8 a.m.

Winter Break Hours

Exam hours for the Isché Library will end on Thursday, December 18th. Winter Break hours will begin on Sunday, December 21st and will end on Sunday, January 4th. The hours are as follows:

Alferez Frieze – Library Commons’ Sculpture

Yesterday another milestone was reached in the completion of the Library Commons. “The Conquest of Yellow Fever” frieze by Enrique Alferez was mounted in a specially prepared wall. (Specially prepared because the frieze weighs about 2 tons.)

Conquest of Yellow Fever frieze by Enrique Alferez

Alferez frieze pre-restoration

The conservator will complete the restoration now that the piece is in place. The frieze will be beautiful addition to the Library Commons.

Ische Library Internal Elevator

The Isché Library’s Internal Elevator will be taken out of service on Monday, December 22nd. It will be completely overhauled and will be put back in service sometime in January. The internal stairwell will be available for accessing the 4th & 5th floors. For patrons who are unable to use the stairs, check with the Circulation Desk staff for other options.

At the same time elevators #1 & 2 for the Resource Center will be taken out of service. So access to the Library will switch back to elevators #3 & 4 (closest to Tulane Ave).

Jump on the Midnight Train

The Isché Library will be open until midnight tonight (Friday, Dec. 12th) to allow extra study time for student still in exams. The Library will also be open tomorrow (Saturday, Dec. 13th) from 9:30 to 12 midnight and on Sunday (Dec. 14th) from 12 noon to 12 midnight. Jump on the midnight study train!

Ische Library Closing at 5 p.m.

Due to the anticipated icy conditions after dark this evening, the Isch&ecute; Library will close at 5 p.m. The Library will re-open at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning (Friday, Dec. 12th) and will remain open until 12 midnight. The hours for Saturday are 9:30 – 12 midnight and on Sunday are 12 noon – 12 midnight.

Spring 2009

Chancellor Hollier announced that the Library Commons will be complete in Spring 2009 during the Town Hall meeting yesterday evening.

Elevator Switcheroo

Because of the ongoing tiling, access to the Isché Library will be via elevators #1 & 2 again. These are the elevators closest to the Eye Center Building.

Additionally, the door to the Library will be inaccessible for a few hours while that space is tiled so a temporary entrance has been created adjacent to the regular door location.

Burn the Midnight Oil

Remember the Isché Library will be open until midnight tonight (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday). On Sunday, the Library will open at noon and close again at midnight. Come and get your study on.

Use Elevators #3 & 4

To access the Isché Library, please use Resource Center elevators #3 & 4 (the ones closest to Tulane Ave.). Elevators #1 & 2 are unusable for the next few days so that tiling can be completed.
