Power Blips? May 11th RCB and May 12th Dental

Facilities is conducting its annual emergency generator load bank testing from May 8th through the 16th. The Isché Library will be affected on May 11th from 8am to 12 noon. The Dental Library will be affected on May 12th either in the morning or the afternoon; there are 2 generators at the Dental Campus and they are each being tested. We are unclear which one is connected to the Administration building.

During testing, the system is supposed to automatically switch to generator power with no disruption to users. However, if something fails, generator power will be restored within 30 minutes.

LibGuides Have a New Look!

LSU-HSC New Orleans LibGuides have been changed from a top “tab” navigation style to a side navigation style. This was done to match the rest of the LSU-HSC New Orleans websites, as those are all also side navigation. In addition to the navigation change, profile boxes of the guide’s owners are now available, this was done to make contacting the person who owns a certain LibGuide easier, and would be the person to contact if there is a question about a LibGuide and its content.
