Workers are upgrading the computer wiring systems in the library. Expect it to be noisy on the Gravier St side of the library today.
If you notice a difference on the Public PCs, that’s because we’ve recently updated the homepage to match our regular library homepage. Links to PayPaw and LSUHSC Webmail can be found at the bottom of the library homepage.
Yesterday was the autumnal equinox. On the equinoxes the sun spends the same amount of time on either side of the equator. THANKS TO OUR NEW EXPANDED HOURS, you can now spend equal amounts of time in and out of the library.
NEW LIBRARY HOURS
Sunday 1:30 p.m. – 12 midnight
Monday – Thursday 8 a.m. – 12 midnight
Friday 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Saturday 9:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
The LSUHSC Wireless Network is back online.
Information Security is reporting issues with the LSUHSC Wireless network relating to authentication. They are investigating.
In the meantime you can check out a network cable or use any of the laptop ports in the library.
The Isché Library will have new regular hours beginning on Sunday, September 23rd.
Sunday 1:30 p.m. – 12 midnight
Monday – Thursday 8 a.m. – 12 midnight
Friday 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Saturday 9:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Don’t forget we will have expanded hours for Final Exams as well as limited hours for Thanksgiving and Winter Break.
It turns out the Library was running a different version of Vista then most of our students; the corrected version is now available on our website.
The 1st step in upgrading all the wiring in the Library will happen tonight; unfortunately it’s going to be noisy. Alterations must be made to the wiring closets on all 3 floors of the Library. The work will occur tonight (Wednesday, Sept.12th) and tomorrow night (Thursday, Sept.13th) from 5 – 10 p.m. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Check out the latest issue of the Library Newsletter. It’s hot off the html editor!
To bring you better Internet access, Computer Services will be tweaking our wireless network this afternoon, so coverage may be a bit spotty today. If you see a guy on a ladder, try moving to another area of the library to get better wireless access.
