The New England Journal of Medicine Group, in partnership with the Skin of Color Society Foundation and VisualDx, is hosting a webinar series on The Impact of Skin Color and Ethnicity on Clinical Diagnosis and Research, with the aim of reducing health disparities of underrepresented minority populations.
The second part in the series “Hair Disorders in People of Color” will be held tomorrow, Thursday, November 12, 1:00-2:15 PM ET (12-1:15 CT).
From the event page: “Panelists will define and discuss hair disorders in people of color. External and systemic diseases can cause hair loss. Misdiagnosis often occurs when hair loss is considered cosmetic and not a medical problem. Ethnicity affects the significance and cultural meaning of hair loss, and physicians need to know how each patient is being affected. Hair disorders constitute a significant health problem and affect health care access because of the length and complexity of the visits.”
The American Academy of Ophthalmology is no longer offering an institutional subscription to their ebooks, and as such, our access will expire on November 15, 2020.
The library has shared the cost of this subscription with the Department of Ophthalmology for the past few years, and we have enjoyed working with the department to provide access to these books.
The LSUHSC Libraries (both downtown and Dental) are open today, their normal hours. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, all campuses continue to be limited to badge holders.
Another week, another Hurricane… the Libraries will close at noon on Wednesday, October 28, 2020 due to threat from Hurricane Zeta. We hope to reopen on Thursday, October 29th at our regular time of 8am.
A new selection of articles have been added to the Faculty Publications display in the Ische Library. These eight articles, as well as all of the articles in our Faculty Publications database, are authored by at least one member of our research community here at LSUHSC-New Orleans. Each month the Library is proud to present copies of eight of these publications in a rotating display of 16. With the currently changes, we’ve decided to post the publications digitally. Check out the display below:
Publications cited in the Faculty Publications database are harvested weekly from a variety of sources, such as PubMed, SCOPUS, and CINAHL, to name a few. In addition to articles they include books, book chapters, papers, editorials, letters to the editor, and meeting abstracts, all authored by at least one member of the LSUHSC-NO community. The database is maintained by Reference Librarian Kathy Kerdolff and is available to the general public here or via the Library’s webpage. For a PDF of a bibliography of this month’s additions,click here. If you have an article you would like us to highlight or if you have any questions regarding the display or the database, you can contact Kathy Kerdolff.
Are you finding it difficult to get the full text or PDF of articles? Frustrated by having to log in over and over? LibKey Nomad is here to help!
With so many activities happening off campus, it’s sometimes a bit more difficult to get to the articles you need. We have quite a few tools that can help, including a browser extension called LibKey Nomad. It is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Vivaldi, and Brave browsers and it brings the Library’s journal holdings to you.
Although it’s usually best to start off at the Library’s site to start your research, if you are going directly to publishers’ sites through Google Scholar or a similar site, LibKey Nomad will provide links to get you to the articles very easily.
When you get to a page with a journal article, just look for one of the LibKey Nomad icons that will get you to that full text:
You will be asked to log in when needed, but you may also be directed to a free version of the article if it is available.
LibKey Nomad also makes using PubMed and Scopus super easy, so be sure to check it out. More information about this extension, including videos, download links, and other tips can be found on our LibKey Nomad LibGuide.
If you need any help with this or any other Library resources, contact us.
The Libraries will close at 3pm on October 9, 2020, as a result of expected conditions with the approach and landfall of Hurricane Delta.
The Dental Library is closed on Saturday per their current LSUHSC-NO Phase 2 schedule, but the Isché Library anticipates being open as usual at 9:30am on Saturday, October 10th.
