EXPLORE each title by quickly locating people and places cited, images, and contributors. Hover mouse over index for article preview.
BROWSE for books not only by subject, title or type but now by Dewey or Library of Congress classifications.

Network Issues

Some of the network issues have been resolved, but there are still a few computers that aren't able to access the Internet. The computer technicians think it is a configuration problem. They believe they can solve this problem very soon.

Network Problems

There has been a problem with the student computers on the library's internal network. Our technician is working hard to remedy the situation. In computer troubleshooting it is a process of elimination. First you have to troubleshoot the hardware, and then look at the software. Mr. Reitzhammer of GIS has spent several days looking at computer setups all over the library to find the problem. He has worked with ITC without any luck. Each day he gathers more and more data but so far nothing we have done has worked to changed the situation.

Please be patient with us as we attempt to solve the problem.

Learning Express

Learning Express has been made available to us by the Louisiana Library Network consortium. The link will be added soon to our web page on GSU and on TigerNet. In the meantime if you are on campus, you can use this URL:

It's Here!

The EBSCOhost 2.0 interface has replaced the previous version. I'd love to hear your opinions about it. Please feel free to leave your comments after you try some searches.

Lexi-PALS Drug Guide added to EBSCO

The Lexi-PALS Drug Guide is a database of Patient Advisory Leaflets from Lexi-Comp that provides vital education on medications for patients. The approach for each pamphlet is to present each medication in an easy to follow and understand question-and-answer format. The database consists of over 1,450 medication and natural product leaflets, with an additional 600 Spanish language leaflets representing the most subscribed and commonly used medications. The database is updated monthly.
