LSU Health Digital Scholar – New Look!

LSU Health Digital Scholar has a new look! Our repository has grown significantly since it was established in 2023, and a redesign of the home page was undertaken to better reflect and navigate our many collections.

Digital Scholar is LSUHSC-NO’s Institutional Repository, a platform where scholarly output and events created and hosted by our academic community are shared. Here you will find Faculty Publications, Research Events, Dissertations & Theses, two journals: the Journal of the Louisiana Public Health Association and the Louisiana Journal of Counseling, Data sets, a collection of Campus Art & Images, and Historical Collections such as academic bulletins, graduation programs and student newspapers dating back to the first days of the originally named “Louisiana State University Medical Center”.

Digital Scholar is growing in content daily and we actively seek out items to include on this open-access platform!  Possible submissions include:

• Faculty bibliographies
• LSUHSC-affiliated authors’ articles or research suitable for open-access publication
• Post-embargo Dissertations & Theses
• Research Days, Events, or Symposia – past and present
• School- or Department-specific professional development seminars
• Data sets suitable for open-access publication or storage

Benefits to having your work or event archived in LSU Health Digital Scholar include: reader analytics and tracking, a consistent URL for inclusion in CVs and communications, access to a broader network of research, proceedings, and data sets, and contributing to the impressive body of LSUHSC scholarly output! If you are interested in submitting a scholarly work or event to the repository or have any questions, please reach out to DigitalScholar@lsuhsc.edu.

You can navigate to LSU Health Digital Scholar from the Libraries homepage, or visit it directly via digitalscholar.lsuhsc.edu. Digital Scholar is a member of the Digital Commons Network representing over 500 institutions in the Medicine and Health Sciences disciplines and over 700 academic institutions across all disciplines.
