Wiley and Blackwell-Synergy journals will not be available this weekend, June 28-29. The Blackwell journals are moving to the Wiley Interscience site, with all content scheduled to be available by Monday, June 30. Unfortunately, we are unable to give specific times as to when this process will begin and when the journals will again be available.
We will keep you updated on any problems that might arise from this transition.
Catch the sounds in ‘Bump and Hustle’ and keep the music down!
A 2006 ASHA survey (that’s the American Speech and Hearing Association) indicated that 40% percent of students set their music players’ volumes too loud. In fact, a recent article in the Journal of Pediatrics found that most adolescents are aware that they listen to their music too loud, and (in the tradition of adolescents everywhere) really don’t care.
This online game from ASHA educates kids about the potential risk of hearing loss from unsafe usage of personal audio technology. The little buds even look like the headphones of an ipod. Cute!

“Drinking up to six cups a day of caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee daily won’t shorten your life span, a new study by Esther Lopez-Garcia shows.” The study is published in today’s issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
We’re happy to announce that we’ve finally launched a new component to INNOPAC, the library’s catalog. You’ll probably first notice that the link or links to the online version of a journal title are now available in two places:
The links under the “This title is available electronically via” area are part of a new product we’re using to manage our ever-increasing electronic access to journals. Eventually we will remove the pre-existing links used to get to the online versions, but rest assured the links and notes in this new addition to our catalog work the same.
We hope that you will spend some time exploring this new feature, but please do not hesitate to contact any of the Library staff if you need assistance.

70 years end on a high note
Monday night at Alex Box Stadium was a wonderful ending to the 70 years of LSU’s old baseball stadium. The Tigers trounced the UC-Irvine Anteaters 21-7, to advance to the NCAA College World Series in Omaha. LSU will play North Carolina in the opening round of the 2008 NCAA College World Series at 6 p.m. Sunday. The game will be televised nationally by ESPN 2.
No pain, no gain
According to NCAA injury surveillance data for men’s baseball from 1998-2004, college baseball has a relatively low rate of injury compared with other NCAA sports, but 25% of injuries are severe and result in 10+ days of time loss from participation. Injuries can include everything from tearing the cartilage in your shoulder to taking a ball in the face. In fact, there’s 130 articles in PubMed on college baseball alone.
A healthy Tiger is a happy Tiger
This article from the Journal of Athletic Training gives an overview of collegiate injuries for 15 sports, along with recommendations for injury prevention.
