Remote Access to Library Resources
The LSUHSC-NO libraries have established a system, Web Access Management, that allows patrons to access many library resources, including databases and electronic journals and books, from off-campus.  Web Access Management (or WAM for short), requires you to log in at the beginning of each browser session when you click on one of the linked resources from our catalog or website. 

Three items are necessary for you to log in to WAM:

• Name (first and last name as you registered in the library)
• Library barcode number (14 digit number on the back of your LSUHSC ID)
  If you don't have a library barcode, please see us in the library in New Orleans or Baton Rouge so we can issue one to you.  This is not the barcode that you used to check out charts when the New Orleans campus was open.
• PIN (you create this combination of up to 8 numbers or letters the first time you use WAM)

 For remote access to databases, select the “Off Campus” link:

 For journals, click on the link in the catalog record:

 You will be taken to the WAM login screen:

Click on "Proceed to the Database."  In the next WAM screen, retype your name and barcode, then create a PIN. 

 The next screen will allow you access to resources just as if you were in the library in New Orleans!

Some common error messages you might encounter:

• Cannot locate patron record: your record is no longer in the library database, your record has expired, or you are not eligible for WAM access.
• Hourglass image: the system is busy or your record may be blocked.
• Invalid PIN: You mistyped or misremembered your PIN.  Contact the library to reset your PIN.
• AOL users cannot use the AOL browser with the WAM product; they are incompatible.

 If you have any questions or forget your PIN, please contact the dental librarians:

• (225) 334-5459, in Baton Rouge
• (504) 568-7698 or (504) 568-6104, in New Orleans
