INNOPAC

The Library Catalog, INNOPAC, is currently acting a bit wonky. It seems to have lost the ability to distinguish between New Orleans and Shreveport. Customer Support is working on the problem.

*Edit* And all issues were resolved (#fingerscrossed) at 10:50am

Accessing Resources from the Hospitals

The wired and wireless networks at UMC, Children’s, and any of the other hospitals are neither part of nor managed by the Health Sciences Center, so if you need to access Library resources while at the hospitals you will need to do the following:

• Go to http://www.lsuhsc.edu and choose the Citrix icon
•  You can also go to http://citrixweb.lsuhsc.edu directly
• Log on using your LSUHSC user i.d. and password; you may also be prompted to install the Citrix Receiver before you are able to log in
• Choose “Desktop-New”
• When your Citrix session is up and running, go to the Start Menu to open up Internet Explorer
• From the LSUHSC homepage, choose “Libraries” on the left
• You can then choose which resource you would like to use
  • To find out whether the Library has access to a particular book or journal, click the link for “Library Catalog/INNOPAC”
  • If you wish to search for articles through PubMed, want to use AccessMedicine, or any other databases, choose “Databases” from the left and then go to the page for that resource
    • Be sure to click the “Off Campus” link for any database you want
    • Citrix sessions are sometimes not recognized as being on campus, so you may also be asked to provide your name, barcode, and PIN that is used to access Library resources when off campus

Photogrammar – WPA photos

FSA (Farm Security Administration) dentist and migrant child in the FSA dental trailer at the FSA camp for farm families. Caldwell, Idaho (November 1941) – Russell Lee

Yale University and the National Endowment for the Humanities have indexed the 170,000 photos created by the US Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information. All photos were created from 1935 through 1945. Photogrammar organizes the photos so they are searchable via map location, photographer, classification tags (medicine and health for instance), and eventually by treemap, metadata dashboard and colorspace.

CDC – Bring Your Brave

We’re almost half way through breast cancer awareness month. Bring Your Brave is a new campaign focusing on young women with breast cancer. While breast cancer usually effects women over the age of 45, it does occur in about 11% of younger women. Breast cancer can be hereditary however that’s not always the case. There are ways you can reduce your risk of getting breast cancer such as limiting your alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy weight and breastfeeding.

Breast cancer symptoms include but are not limited to:

• Lump in the breast or underarm/armpit area
• Thickening or swelling of part of the breast.
• Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast.
• Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood.

It is important to get screened if you notice any symptoms early on, in order to start fighting back sooner than later.

Tulane Ave Streetscape Project

The nearly 5 million redesign of Tulane Avenue began a couple of weeks ago. Mid-City Messenger has the story (with illustration). The project encompasses Claiborne to Carrollton and is expected to be complete in early 2016.

Being able to legally turn left on Tulane Ave? Inconceivable.!
