Students! Get published in Public Health Reports

Interested in publishing? The Association of Schools of Public Health recently announced that it will begin a peer-reviewed Student Column in the Public Health Reports journal.

Potential submitters may be current students, current fellows, or recent graduates (within two years) of CEPH-accredited schools of public health. ASPH also seeks student reviewers for the column. For more information, visit www.publichealthreports.org.

E-Links are Working On-Campus

The Electronic Links in the catalog, INNOPAC, are working on-campus only. We are still working on off-campus access

E-Links in Catalog Not Working

Most of the E-Journal & E-Book Links in the catalog are still not working today. We are working with our support team to get the links working again. We hope to have them back up by mid-day today.

Off Campus Access Is Down

Off-campus access library resources using your library barcode & password is currently down. Some journals and databases may be unavailable off campus while we address this problem.

In the meantime, you can access the following Intranet resources using your LSUHSC username & password. (Don’t forget to add lsumc-master\ before your username.)

Micromedex: https://intranet.lsuhsc.edu/micromedex/
Ovid: http://ovid.lsuhsc.edu/
PubMed (free version – limited full text): http://www.pubmed.gov

For urgent article or research requests, please email reference@lsuhsc.edu. Your request will be handled by tomorrow morning.

Thanks for your patience while we sort this out!

INNOPAC is Back

Maintenance is complete.

INNOPAC down

The libraries’ online catalog will be down for the next 2 hours for scheduled maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Catalog Scheduled Downtime TODAY!

Innopac, the Libraries’ Online Catalog, will be down for sheduled maintenance from about 3 until 5 p.m. today. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Have the Walls Moved?

It’s not your imagination. The temporary plywood wall at the Isché Library has moved back about 3 feet. Progress is being made on the Library Commons.

Debunking Autism theory

An editorial in the New York Times today points to a new case-control study that attempts to replicate the controversial Wakefield study on autism, which in 1998 drew an inferential link between the MMR vaccine, gastrointestinal problems found in many autistic children and autism.

The new study, conducted by researchers from Columbia University, Massachusetts General Hospital and the CDC, tried and failed to replicate the earlier findings. The new study, published in PLoS One, is freely available on the web: http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0003140
