• Library computer labs closed
  Re-carpeting has begun on the library's first floor. Both computer labs will be closed for several days. During this period, computing facilities on the library's first floor will not be available. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, and hope to have the computer labs available again on or about Thursday, July 10th.
• Library re-carpeting project
  A project to recarpet all three floors of the library will begin on Thursday, July 3rd. The contractors will be working in the library from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. everyday for six weeks. Since this will require shifting of the book and print journal collections, there will unfortunately be some noise, and parts of the library may be temporarily inaccessible. However, we will attempt to minimize the inconvenience as much as possible. We appreciate your patience during this project. If you have any questions, please call the library's Director, Marianne Comegys (x5-5450).
• New Database: DynaMed
  Thanks to a collaborative project between the medical library and the Louisiana Rural Health Information Exchange (LARHIX), LSUHSC-S and the 41 LARHIX hospitals have gained access to DynaMed, an online clinical reference tool intended for use primarily at the point of care. It includes clinically-organized summaries for nearly 3,000 topics. Updated daily, DynaMed monitors the content of over 500 medical journals, evaluating each article for its clinical relevance and scientific validity.
• Holiday hours
  The Library will be closed on Friday, July 4th, for the Independence Day holiday. Regular library hours will resume on July 5th.
