For February only, download a free PDF copy of Solomon Snyder’s Science and Psychiatry: Groundbreaking Discoveries in Molecular Neuroscience. A free, monthly book download is part of the subscription from Psychiatry Online, your one-stop online shop for (free) psychiatric textbooks.
Solomon Snyder has been instrumental in the establishment of modern psychopharmacology?óÔé¼ÔÇØas a pioneer in the identification of receptors for neurotransmitters and drugs and in the explanation of the actions of psychotropic agents. Science and Psychiatry is a collection of some of his best scientific papers, publications ranging over forty years that represent important advances in psychopharmacology and molecular biology. Audacious and unanticipated when they first appeared, these papers opened up new areas of understanding and revolutionized the modern study of the brain. Republished here, they show why fundamental research into the ?óÔé¼?ômessengers of the mind?óÔé¼?Ø is as essential for clinicians as for researchers.
You can access the book from PsychiatryOnline’s home page:

The permanent glass panels which will divide the Isché Library from the Library Commons are being installed today. The new front doors to the Library are scheduled for installation tomorrow.
A new study from Australian Family Physician found “no clear ‘winner'” between DynaMed, MD Consult and UpToDate when it came to answering clinical questions.
You can read the full report free online here:

Honestly, I’m happy if you just use an evidence-based clinical resource instead of Google.

We spoke too soon about our elevator working yesterday. It is once again out of order. We’ll post again when it’s working.
The renovations to the Isché Library elevator are complete. Come take a ride!
The construction workers have been working on the new lobby to the Commons & the Library since Friday. This morning they started working on the doorway into the Isché Library. Don’t worry you still have access. Work on the doorway should be completed in a few days.

RefWorks in 15 Minutes
While the ideal way to teach users the basic features of RefWorks is to conduct a full training session, we realize that in some situations you may have only a few minutes to demonstrate the power of RefWorks. During this session, you’ll rapidly learn: how to create an account; direct export citations from two databases; create a folder; create a bibliography from a list of citations; and create a bibliography using Write N’ Cite.

Just a quick reminder that most LSUHSC-New Orleans resources are available off campus (any where not on the LSUHSC network). This includes full-text materials, books & journals. Check out our handy tutorial.
The Library of Congress had created a history of presidential inaugurations page.
To watch today’s inauguration on campus, there are two choices:
“The broadcast will be shown in the Medical Education Building, Lecture Room A, from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM. Classes will end at 10:45 AM. Due to the continuing construction on the 2nd floor of the MEB, please use the 1st floor to enter and leave the Lecture Room.
In addition to the Lecture Room, for those wishing to view the coverage from their computer, the broadcast will be available from our web servers at http://webdev2.lsuhsc.edu/inauguration/ To view the broadcast, click on the preceding link using Internet Explorer on a computer with a wired connection. The broadcast will be available at the Schools of Dentistry and Public Health and all buildings on the downtown campus. The broadcast will not be available at the LSU Interim Hospital or via Citrix, VPN or wireless connections.” from an email from the Chancellor.
For new students or ones that haven’t been to the Isché Library in awhile, the construction zone will be the new Library Commons. This space when completed will feature study tables, video rooms, a coffee shop, exhibit space, and 24/7 access. Work began in May 2008 and should be completed in Spring 2009.
Check out the LSUHSC ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ New Orleans Faculty Publications database for your 2008 publications to make sure yours are included. I check Biological Abstracts, CINAHL, Web of Science, PubMed, SCOPUS, and EMBASE.com for publications from LSUHSC ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ NO. Books, book chapters, and local and regional conference abstracts are not indexed in these resources and may have been overlooked.
If your 2008 publication is not there, please submit citation information to Kathy Kerdolff, Reference Librarian (kkerdo@lsuhsc.edu).
The Isché & Dental Libraries will be open regular hours on Sunday, January 18th. But will be closed on Monday, January 19th in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a university holiday.
