Update on Library Services
Although the collection is in storage, the dental library has myriad resources and services to offer dental faculty, students, and staff.  Dental librarians Julie Schiavo and Liz Strother work in the South Campus library office, now in Building 3005, Room 104, three days per week, normally Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  When not in Baton Rouge, you can reach us at the Isché Health Sciences Center Library by phone or email.  Among the services we offer are database searching, document delivery, reference service, and assistance with library patron registration and barcodes.

Contact us in New Orleans:
Julie Schiavo, jschia@lsuhsc.edu, 504-568-6104
Liz Strother, estrot@lsuhsc.edu, 504-568-7698

Most of the books that were checked out to patrons when Katrina hit have been returned and are now available for circulation in the office on South Campus.  In addition, the library is beginning to purchase new titles, which are also shelved in Room 104.  The usual circulation rules apply, so except for books on reserve, all titles can be checked out for two weeks.   Cataloged books in the South Campus collection are listed in Innopac with the location "Dental Library Office-BR."  Requests for new purchases are welcomed!

Most journal issues from 2005 and 2006 are now shelved at the Isché Health Sciences Center Library in New Orleans. The LSUHSC-NO libraries subscribe to a large number of dental and medical journals online, so dental faculty, staff, and students can read or print articles in PDF format from any location.  Because South Campus is not on the LSUHSC network, all access from the dental school is "off campus" or remote, requiring a library barcode.  See the article on remote access for further details.
