Both the Isché and Dental Libraries will be closed December 24th through January 3rd. Both Libraries will resume Phase 3 hours when we reopen in January.
UPDATE: The problem appears to be resolved and all journals are available as usual.
A platform that provides access to multiple journals is currently undergoing maintenance, so the journals hosted by Atypon are unavailable.
This maintenance is affecting journals from the American Chemical Society, ASHA, the American Physiological Society, Mary Ann Liebert, New England Journal of Medicine, and multiple others.
We were not notified of this maintenance but will update as soon as we have more information

The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) today adopts the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recently updated guidance that allows people who may have been exposed to COVID-19 to shorten their quarantine period from 14 days to 10 days, or as few as 7 days with a negative test.
Still, the shorter quarantine periods do come with a risk that a person may be infectious when he or she leaves quarantine, and should be carefully evaluated when weighing options.
The full news release can be read HERE on the Louisiana Department of Health website.
LSU Health researchers used ADI (Area Deprivation Index) to study the relationship between poverty and COVID in Louisiana, finding that people in deprived neighborhoods had as much as a 40% increased risk of COVID-19 compared to people in less deprived neighborhoods, in an article published last week.
The research was taken on to find answers about Louisiana’s high per capita rate of COVID this past summer, with highest COVID rates among African Americans.
The authors explain that risk factors “exist not only at the individual or biological level; neighborhood-level factors and their interactions with individual-level factors are also responsible for the observed disparities. Lack of access to health care, unemployment, less education, and poor housing conditions significantly increase the risk of COVID-19 infection.”
The authors hope the study can be “utilized to promote public health preventions measures besides social distancing, wearing a mask while in public and frequent handwashing in vulnerable neighborhoods with greater deprivation.”
You can read the article and see the findings at PLOS ONE. The LSUHSC Newsroom has also published a piece on the article.
This brand new publication was developed in partnership with LSU Health – New Orleans School of Public Health and the Louisiana Public Health Association and will focus on public health initiatives throughout the state.

The 3D Printing/Scanning equipment at the Dental Library has stopped working. Because of a parts shortage, it doesn’t appear that the units can be repaired.
If 3D printing resumes, funding for new equipment will need to be found.
