Is a cadaver your best friend this semester? Then you must be one of the many students taking Anatomy. There’s good news for you lab rats though — the library has several online atlases of anatomy available that you can use in the lab, through your laptop!

Miss the PDA expo today on the 2nd floor of the MEB? It’s OK. We’ll be back in the same spot tomorrow for the New Residents Orientation. Even if you’re not in Medicine, drop by for literature on a variety of PDA resources available to you for free as faculty, student or staff of LSUHSC.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and if you’re an incoming third year medical student — welcome back!
The Library is hosting a PDA Expo this morning. It features the products available for your PDA FREE from the Library. Check it out in the MEB Lobby 2nd floor.
INNOPAC is back online.
The Libraries’ Online Catalog, INNOPAC, is down for maintenance.
Summer semester is in full swing, and for some of you that means anatomy class. Before you start hacking away those cadavers, consider hacking of a different kind: using an e-book in the lab, direct from your laptop, to identify that fatty tissue.
Whoa! You mean I don’t even have to open a book???
Thieme ElectronicBook Library has over 20 atlases of the human body, including Pocket Atlas of Human Anatomy, Color Atlas of Human Anatomy, Vol.3, & The Human Body.
AccessMedicine, AccessSurgery & AccessEmergency Medicine are also good resources. Though no specific anatomy books are in here, a keyword search for any body part can give you lots of results from a ton of different e-books.
Computers are lame. Giving me the print edition
Not into the e-book thing? Good news — you can browse our extensive anatomy section of the library by going to the 4th floor books & looking for the call number QS 4 ot QS 17.
INNOPAC, the Libraries’ online catalog for books and journals, will be down for scheduled maintenance on Thursday, June 21st beginning at 8 a.m. The downtime will be anywhere from 4 to 8 hours.
