On Monday, July 7th, the Library stairwell will be blocked by the construction crew. They will be taking out the large glass panels and replacing them with a wall. The work should last approximately 3 days. The Library elevator is available to travel between floors.
The library will be closed Friday, July 4th and Saturday, July 5th for a University Holiday. We re-open at 1:30pm Sunday, July 6th for our regular hours.
And for you Residents working the ER this weekend, maybe now is the time to review “Not another 4th of July report: uncommon blast injuries to the hand” from the Emergency Medicine Journal. (If you’re on campus, you should be able to get the full text by clicking the purple LSUHSC icon in the abstract.)

We switched RSS feeds this morning. Our old one started using adverstising, so we’re trying a new widget. Let us know how you like it.
We’re happy to announce that we’ve finally launched a new component to INNOPAC, the library’s catalog. You’ll probably first notice that the link or links to the online version of a journal title are now available in two places:

The links under the “This title is available electronically via” area are part of a new product we’re using to manage our ever-increasing electronic access to journals. Eventually we will remove the pre-existing links used to get to the online versions, but rest assured the links and notes in this new addition to our catalog work the same.
We hope that you will spend some time exploring this new feature, but please do not hesitate to contact any of the Library staff if you need assistance.

Construction is proceeding at the Isché Library. The temporary walls are being built as I type; these walls will encompass the elevator lobby on the 3rd floor. For the next few days, only elevator #4 can be used to access the Library. *EDIT* All elevators are still currently working. The limited access won’t happen until later this week.
