LSU Health New OrleansEBSCOhost – all new & pretty
EBSCOhost has launched its new design. “EBSCOhost 2.0 offers a clean new look and feel, for a technologically sophisticated, yet familiar search experience.” Check it out for yourself.
VPN Changes
The LSUHSC Office of Computer Services provides secure remote access through a VPN (virtual private network) . Last summer, a new VPN client, SSLVPN was rolled out.
On July 29th, users who are still using the old VPN client, SecuRemote, will no longer have access to the Library’s catalog, Innopac. If you have SecuRemote (old client) installed, it must be uninstalled before installing SSLVPN (new client) (directions are available). Please contact your local computer supporter for more information.
Barcode & PIN (WAM) access will be unaffected.
Insomniacs Watch Out
The ILLiad server will be down for maintenance from 3 a.m to 6 a.m. tomorrow. You’ll have to wait a couple of hours to submit your important interlibrary loan requests!

Take our Elevator, Please.
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.
Library closed July 4th & 5th
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.)
New Dental Library Hours!
The Dental Library expanded their hours this week. The Dental Library is open on Sundays once again; it also now has evening hours until 10 p.m. Monday – Thursday.
Wiley and Blackwell journals back online
We’re happy to report that Wiley and Blackwell journals are now back online after this weekend’s downtime. The most significant change you’ll notice is that the online versions of the Blackwell titles look like those from Wiley as they are all now available on the Interscience platform. There are a handful of titles that are experiencing some hiccups, but we’ve been assured by the folks at Wiley that they are feverishly working on solving the problems.
If you need any help with these or other titles, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Go Mobile guide available
PDA medical software provider Epocrates has produced a healthcare professional’s guide to choosing and using a mobile device. Although this guide is produced by a company that is trying to sell you something, it is still a decent introduction to mobile devices and the various jargon associated with them.

Wiley and Blackwell downtime this weekend
Wiley and Blackwell-Synergy journals will not be available this weekend, June 28-29. The Blackwell journals are moving to the Wiley Interscience site, with all content scheduled to be available by Monday, June 30. Unfortunately, we are unable to give specific times as to when this process will begin and when the journals will again be available.
We will keep you updated on any problems that might arise from this transition.
Listen to your buds
Catch the sounds in ‘Bump and Hustle’ and keep the music down!
A 2006 ASHA survey (that’s the American Speech and Hearing Association) indicated that 40% percent of students set their music players’ volumes too loud. In fact, a recent article in the Journal of Pediatrics found that most adolescents are aware that they listen to their music too loud, and (in the tradition of adolescents everywhere) really don’t care.
This online game from ASHA educates kids about the potential risk of hearing loss from unsafe usage of personal audio technology. The little buds even look like the headphones of an ipod. Cute!
Library Newsletter Summer Issue Available!
The latest issue of the Library?óÔé¼Ôäós Newsletter has been released. Archives of the newsletter are also available from 1998 to the present.
Dental applications for iPhone
Planet DDS, a provider of web-based dental software, has recently created an interface with the iPhone, Medical iPhone blog reports. Denticon Web-Based Practice Management on iPhone has capabilities for scheduling, records management, insurance billing, digital radiography, and more.
