The Library is excited to announce a license for EndNote for LSU Health Shreveport students, faculty & staff. EndNote manages citations, produces bibliographies, and more. To request the software, follow the directions at https://tinyurl.com/y3h7fvjk. Requests must be made from LSUHSC email. The download is not immediate – ITG first verifies requests on business days before sending download instructions. EndNote software retails for $115-$250 per user, so this is a significant savings to improve our school’s publications.
For help using or downloading EndNote, contact the Library at shlibref@lsuhsc.edu.

Health sciences library faculty used time wisely during the work-at-home orders to earn additional credentials from the Medical Library Association.

She also earned the association’s Disaster Information Specialization and an Annual Meeting Grant.
