According to the January issue of the European Heart Journal, moderate drinkers (1-14 drinks per week) who engage in leisure-time physical activities lower their risks of fatal heart disease. So, get off that streetcar and walk to the parades and don’t forget the key words: moderate drinkers.
If you want to read the whole article we have it available full-text online through our card catalog, INNOPAC.
Researchers who receive funds from the NIH take note: most U.S. biomedical scientists will have to send copies of their accepted, peer-reviewed manuscripts to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) for posting in a free archive (or as us librarians like to call it, PubMedCentral). If they don’t, they could have trouble renewing their grants or even lose research funding, reports ScienceNOW Daily News
The New NIH public access mandate was announced January 11th and will take effect in early April 2008. To learn more about how this may affect you, including a list of journals that already submit to the archive (meaning no further action is needed to comply with the submission requirement of NIH Public Access Policy) click here.
Turns out video games aren’t SO bad, at least if you’re planning to be a surgeon. A report from New Scientist magazine posits that surgeons perform better after warming up with Wii, — and that study’s authors are now planning to develop surgery training software for the video game platform.
“NATURE! We are surrounded and embraced by her: powerless to separate ourselves from her, and powerless to penetrate beyond her.” – JW Goethe
So opened one of the foremost science journals in history. Even back in 1869, Nature: the international weekly journal of science was pondering topics like science education in schools, the impact of environmental projects such as the Suez Canal, and recent solar eclipses.
Now that LSUHSC library has online full-text access to Nature from 1869 – present, you yourself can trace historic scientific events as they unfold in the biomedical literature, all from the comfort of your office or home computer!

Welcome to LSUHSC and thanks for reading our blog! Here’s some useful tips to get a good start to your studies.
GET YOUR LSUHSC ID & LIBRARY BARCODE
As you stop by the Registrars office (Library ?óÔé¼ÔÇØ 4th floor) for your official university ID, make sure to drop by our Circulation desk for a library bar code. You?óÔé¼Ôäóll need it to check out books & get off-campus access to our many online resources.
SET UP YOUR PAYPAW ACCOUNT
Once you have your ID & library barcode, drop by the LSUHSC bookstore on the 2nd floor of the Resource Center Building (433 Bolivar St) to set up your PayPaw account. You can use it in the cafeteria (for food) & the library (to print). You can also add money to it online.
QUESTIONS ABOUT LOGINS, PASSWORDS, EMAIL ACCOUNTS?
See our handout explaining campus logins.
Contact the LSUHSC help desk at 568-HELP for any questions you might have concerning access to WebCT, Blackboard, email, or other computer related services. You can also contact your school?óÔé¼Ôäós computer support directly.

We mentioned back in December that Web of Knowledge (the database which, among other things, allows you to see how many times an article has been cited) is changing. The switch is now only 13 days away!
Curious about how YOU can use the new ISI Web of Knowledge? Whether you’re a student, professor, vice provost, or librarian, Web of Knowledge can serve your needs. Check out this quick tour to see how the new face of knowledge can work for you.
Still insisting on using Google to do your research?
While we can’t force you use authoritative resources like PubMed or EBSCOhost’s CINAHL Plus with Full Text to search for journal articles (though we STRONGLY ENDORSE IT and YOU SHOULD), we can supply you with these tricks from Lifehacker.com for the times when Google is your tool.
For example, you can use Google to compare items with “better than” and find similar items with “reminds me of”. In fact, a search for LSU “better than everyone” gets over 19,000 hits!
As the Libraries have moved from print journals to electronic ones, the current journal shelves have been used less and less. So today they’ve been removed. Current print issues will be shelved with the full journal runs on the 5th floor of the Isché Library.
The Library continues to re-organize the 3rd floor to offer an optimum study environment.
That’s all the remaining time the library is open today!
In honor of the upcoming Buckeye beating BCS championship game, LSUHSC-NO campus closes at NOON today.
We will open again for regular hours Tuesday, January 8 (tomorrow) at 8AM.
The Libraries (and really the entire campus) will close at 12 noon on Monday, January 7th. The LSU Tigers are playing in the BCS National Championship in the Superdome. The Buckeyes don’t stand a chance.
Gearing up for gross anatomy? Check out this free online anatomy tool:
http://www.e-anatomy.org/index.html

Images were labeled using Terminologia Anatomica.

Today is LSUHSC’S School of Nursing Family Day. Welcome!
