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.

The LSU-Argonne conversion electron spectrometer: A new detector for the X-Array and SATURN decay station
A new conversion electron detector has been commissioned at the ATLAS/ CARIBU facility at Argonne National Laboratory. The LSU-Argonne Conversion Electron Spectrometer (LACES) is a LN2-cooled Si(Li) detector system designed to be incorporated into a decay station that comprises the dedicated HPGe clover array with a box geometry (X-Array) and the Scintillator and Tape Using Radioactive Nuclei (SATURN) device. This integration enables simultaneous measurements of conversion electrons and gamma-rays in decay experiments, yielding novel information on transition multipolarities, electric monopole transitions, and isomeric states that decay mostly via conversion electrons. A measurement of the energy resolution of LACES yielded 2.3-keV FWHM at 975 keV for electrons and 1.3-keV FWHM at 75 keV for X-rays. A detailed study of the absolute detection efficiency (at 5 mm from the source) was performed, where this quantity was determined experimentally in the range of electron transition energies between 25.5 keV and 1047.8 keV and subsequently simulated using the GEANT4 code. Measurement and simulations are found to be in excellent agreement. A precise characterization, for this type of detector system, of the absolute detection efficiency for such a wide energy range is reported for the first time.
Evaluation of MALDI-TOF MS, sequencing of D2 LSU rRNA and internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) for the identification of filamentous fungi isolated from a pharmaceutical facility
The identification of filamentous fungi through culture characterization may be hampered by phenotypic variability. Information obtained from the identification of microorganisms are important for investigation of sources of contamination of a product or process. The aim of this study was to identify filamentous fungal strains (n = 50) isolated from a pharmaceutical facility by using Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), as well as D2 domain of the large-subunit (LSU) ribosomal RNA gene and internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) sequencing. MALDI-TOF MS system only identified five strains at the species level, while 45 were not identified. The analysis through GenBank allowed the identification of up to 19 strains at the species level, while MycoBank allowed the identification of up to nine strains at the species level. The databases identified up to 11 genera: Penicillium, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Chaetomium, Coniochaeta, Curvularia, Diaporthe, Fusarium, Trichoderma, Rhizopus and Microdochium. MALDI-TOF MS showed an insufficient database to identify the species of fungi. DNA sequencing was the best methodology to identify to the genus level but was unable to differentiate between closely related species. Therefore further methods for the identification of filamentous fungi from pharmaceutical areas at species level need to be developed.

The library holds an article I need in one of its print journals. Can someone scan it and send it to me?
Yes, request it through your Interlibrary Loan (ILL) account. Once logged into your account, choose "Article" or "Book Chapter" from the left menu, complete the form, and submit the request. Scans usually arrive in 24-48 hours.

I'm trying to view an ebook, but it says it's in use. Is there another way for me to view the ebook?
Of all the ebook collections the library has access to, EBSCO ebooks are the most restrictive in terms of how they are accessed and used. For example, some of them will require you to download Adobe Digital Editions to view the ebook. Also, many of them are single-user access only, so if you receive a message that the ebook is in use, you will have to check back later to see if it is available. The EBSCO ebook LibGuide (https://ebsco.libguides.com/ebooks/users) will assist you in using EBSCO ebooks. eResources Staff Answered by: Electronic Resources

Race Relations in America
Based at Fisk University from 1943-1970, the Race Relations Department and its annual Institute were set up by the American Missionary Association to investigate problem areas in race relations and develop methods for educating communities and preventing conflict. Documenting three pivotal decades in the fight for civil rights, this resource showcases the speeches, reports, surveys and analyses produced by the Department’s staff and Institute participants, including Charles S. Johnson and Thurgood Marshall.
