Bento Search

Search all of LSU Libraries in one place. This includes the catalog, research guides, scholarly repository, website, etc.

What does bento search?

Bento searches all of the available resources at LSU Libraries. Please note that while Discovery does include Catalog results, the dedicated Catalog search can still be accessed.

Discovery
Searches our local print and electronic materials including e-books, journal articles, peer-reviewed articles, news, and magazines.
Research Guides
Searches the full-text of research guides published by LSU Libraries. A research guide is a curated, librarian‑built document that pulls together the most important resources for a topic, course, or assignment. It’s designed to help students, faculty, and researchers quickly find high‑quality, relevant information without having to sift through everything on their own.
Scholarly Repository
Searches the full-text of the Scholarly Repository. The LSU Scholarly Repository collects, preserves, publishes, and makes openly accessible the research and scholarship contributed by LSU faculty, staff, students, and units. Research and scholarly archived materials can include articles, monographs, books, theses & dissertations, audio-visual presentations, working papers, technical reports, conference proceedings, special collections, data, and publicly funded research.

Molecular diversity of cox1 and LSU rDNA sequences of Sarcocystis bertrami (syn. S. fayeri) (Apicomplexa: Eucoccidiorida: Sarcocystidae) in horses.
Food poisoning caused by consuming raw horsemeat contaminated with Sarcocystis is a significant public health concern. Two morphotypes of sarcocysts in horsemeat, characterized by upright and folded villar protrusions, are typically identified as Sarcocystis fayeri and S. bertrami , respectively. However, recent molecular studies focusing on the ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (cox1) have indicated a conspecific relationship between these two morphotypes using a limited number of specimens. To explore further genetic diversity in equid sarcocysts, cox1 and large-subunit (LSU) rDNA sequences were analyzed in sarcocysts extracted from horsemeat inspected from 150 horses (76 and 41 horses imported from Canada and France, respectively, and 33 horses reared in Japan). Sarcocysts were detected in the muscles of 71, 2, and 3 horses from Canada, France, and Japan, respectively. Fifty-eight sarcocysts underwent cox1 and the LSU rDNA sequencing. Newly obtained cox1 sequences (n = 53) and sequences labeled as equid S. bertrami , S. fayeri and S. asinus retrieved from GenBank (n = 53) exhibited conspecific relationships. Inter-individual variation in cox1 sequences was observed among various sarcocysts, even within a single host animal, although no intra-individual variation was observed. However, nuclear-embedded mitochondrial DNA (NUMT: cox1 pseudogene) sequences were obtained using inappropriate techniques using certain primers. The LSU rDNA of sarcocysts (211 cloned sequences from 54 sarcocysts) exhibited inter-individual and robust intra-individual variations, indicating significant intragenomic rRNA array mosaicism in S. bertrami. These findings confirmed the conspecificity of classically defined species without geographical subpopulations. [Display omitted] • Notably divergent cox1 and LSU rDNA sequences of Sarcocystis bertrami in horses. • Mitochondrial cox1 is a reliable molecular marker for specific identification. • PCR amplification of cox1 pseudogene segments misleads specific identification. • Nuclear rRNA array mosaicism causes divergent rDNA sequences in Sarcocystis spp. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

My interlibrary loan is due but I still need it. Can I keep it longer?
One renewal (loan extension) is allowed per request, unless "NO RENEWALS ALLOWED" is printed on the book band. Approval and length of the extension is up to the lending library. Renewals are usually granted for 2-4 weeks. Renewal requests can be made starting 10 days before due date and cannot be requested after the due date has passed. If the due date has passed and you still need the item, place a new request and we will get the item from another library. Return the overdue item ASAP. To request a renewal: - Logon to your ILL (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/services/ill) account. - Under "View Your Requests" click Checked Out /Renew. - Click on the transaction number (TN) of the item you want to renew. - If the item is eligible for renewal (within 10 days of the due date) click the Renew Request link in red, your new due date is a 3-day extension of the original due date. If the lender grants a full extension (usually 2-4 weeks), you will receive a notification with a new due date. Answered by: Jacob Fontenot
How do I know when something I checked out is due back to the library?
Library staff will provide you with a due date slip for all materials at their time of checkout. You can also log into your catalog or interlibrary loan accounts to review your checkouts and due dates (see links below). Please remember that due dates for reserve and Gear 2 Geaux items often are time-specific.

What print books are available on ______ topic? Where do I find them?
There are two ways to locate print books in the library's collection: - Print books are searchable in the LSU Libraries catalog (https://lsu.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/lsu/?rm=MORE+SEARCH+OP0%7C%7C%7C…) . To find books on a certain topic, you can either search for the topic as a keyword, or use the advanced search to look for subject tags. - Print books can also be found searching the library's Discovery (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/) search tool, the default search box on the library's homepage. It searches across many of the library's databases and the catalog. Answered by: Electronic Resources
How can I see or pay library fines?
Recent fines accrued by LSU Library patrons will appear on their library account. You can see any current fines by logging into your library catalog account using the link below. We accept cash, check, and TigerCash payments at the checkout desk in room 241 LSU Library. Please use your library catalog account to pay using a bank or credit card. Fines applied to student accounts will roll from the library to the bursar at the end of the month, at which point they will be applied to the student's fee bill. If you have questions about library fines, please email us at libcirc@lsu.edu (mailto:libcirc@lsu.edu) so that we can investigate. Note: Fines applied to public patron accounts must be paid in order for patrons to renew items or check out new materials. LSU Libraries | Library Catalog Account Answered by: Access Services Staff
What databases do we have on the subject/topic of ______?
To see what databases we have available, click on the databases tab on the library homepage (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/) . Then click " All Databases (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/az.php) " under the "Database Links" drop-down menu. There are several drop down menus, but the one on the left lets you sort by subject. If you would like more hands-on assistance, you can make an appointment with your subject librarian (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/about/staff/specialists) , and they will meet with you either in person or virtually to show you what resources and databases are best for your assignment/research as well as how to navigate them.
