LSUSD Faculty Publications | Q4-2023

Dec. 2023 | As an extension of the faculty publication provided by the Ische’ Library, each quarter the Dental Library presents the published work of the LSUHSC – School of Dentistry community. These articles and more found in the LSU Health Digital Scholar, are authored by at least one member of the LSUHSC – New Orleans research community. Current publications are stored digitally and can be accessed here:

Paper copies of the articles listed above are located on the “LSUSD Publications” shelf and can be read in the Dental Library. Publications are harvested weekly from a variety of sources, such as PubMed, SCOPUS, and CINAHL. In addition to articles – books, book chapters, papers, editorials, letters to the editor, and meeting abstracts are included. All publications are authored by at least one member of the LSUSD community. If you have an article that you would like us to highlight or if you have any questions regarding the display or the database, you can contact our Librarians at reference@lsuhsc.edu.

UPDATE: Catalog/INNOPAC slowness

UPDATE: The problem has been resolved and the catalog is back up and running as usual.

Thursday, December 14, 2023: After an outage earlier this morning, we are experiencing slowness with the Library Catalog/INNOPAC. We have reported the issue to the vendor, and will update when we have more information.

In the meantime, you can search for the majority of the books and journals we have online through the E-Books & E-Journals A to Z List, or contact us if you need any assistance.

UPDATE: Problems access Wiley content through EZproxy

UPDATE: The problem appears to be fixed as of 2:45pm 12/11/2023, but if you encounter any problems please contact us.

If you are trying to access a Wiley book or journal with a link that goes through our EZproxy system, those are currently not working correctly. All EZproxy users are experiencing this problem, and it affects links to Wiley titles in the Library’s catalog and the E-Journals & E-Books A to Z List. In all instances, there is a Cloudflare connection check, and the EZproxy links are stalling and will not redirect to the content after logging in.

Until this problem is fixed, you can access Wiley journals and books directly by using OpenAthens.

Start at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com. When at the Wiley site, click Login/Register on the right of the screen:

Next, click on Institutional Login at the bottom right of the box:

Then, click on Sign in with your OpenAthens account:

On the next screen, enter LSU and click on LSU Health Sciences Center Library:

Then you will be able to enter your LSUHSC-NO full e-mail address and current password, after which you can access all of the Wiley titles we have access to through our subscriptions.

If you are attempting to get to an article in a Wiley journal from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, etc., those links appear to be working as expected.

We will update when we have more information about this issue, but if you need any help with this or other Library resources please contact us.

• American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene

Articles published in 2024 from any of these journals may be requested through our Interlibrary Loan service.

If you need help with this or any other Library resources, please contact us.

RESOLVED: Email login to Library resources currently unavailable

UPDATE: Logging in using an email or via OpenAthens at publishers’ sites is working again.

Wednesday, December 6, 2023: Logging in using your LSUHSC-NO email address to use Library resources is currently unavailable. The OpenAthens service is experiencing an outage, and that is preventing us from using that option both through our EZproxy service and directly at publisher’s websites.

Until this problem is resolved, there is an alternate way to log into Library resources. When you see this screen, click on the green bar:

Then, enter your username (without the @lsuhsc.edu), and your current password in the two boxes:

We will update when we have more information about this problem, but if you need assistance please contact us.
