Locally Created Databases For Dental Materials Reviews, Julie Schiavo indexes articles from publications not indexed in MEDLINE, so you can find evaluations and reviews of specific products. The Dental Clippings File is an index of newspaper articles on the history of LSUSD. The actual articles are filed by date in the library workroom. The LSUSD Faculty Publications databases include citations to journal articles, books and book chapters, and selected meeting abstracts.
Donations to the Library Dr. William Pelon, long-time professor of Microbiology, Immunology and Parasitology, passed away in 2005. In his will, he left endowed donations to numerous LSUHSC entities including $125,000 to the Dental School Library and $100,000 to the Isché Medical Library. The endowed principal remains intact while the interest will be available annually to support library activities. Dr. Pelon, who is fondly remembered by many dental school faculty and alumni, was an avid library user and his gift will be a lasting reminder of his spirit, kindness, and generosity.
