Can members of the public, visiting scholars, independent researchers, and other non-LSU affiliates borrow materials from LSU Library?
Some individuals not affiliated with LSU may receive limited borrowing privileges. These individuals include:
- Louisiana residents (age 18 or older) with valid photo ID
- Out-of-state residents who teach in Louisiana K-12 schools (must be requested by principal or superintendent)
- Out-of-state residents who attend LALINC institutions (must have LALINC Card)
- Out-of-state residents working for Louisiana state agencies
- OCLC Reciprocal Faculty Borrowing Program participants
- Visiting scholars from out-of-state institutions (must be requested by an LSU dean or department head)
- Graduate students from institutions located in other states or countries (must be requested by thesis advisor, department head, or a librarian at their home institution)
- Adjunct LSU Faculty with gratis appointments These privileges do not include offsite access to databases. Public Patrons may borrow up to 10 books for a period of 28 days. Audio-Visual items circulate for 7 days. All Special Borrowers are subject to all rules and regulations including all library fees. Please apply for a public patron account at the checkout desk in room 241 of LSU Library. Please direct any additional questions or concerns to libcirc@lsu.edu (mailto:libcirc@lsu.edu) .

How do I find U.S. Census data?
Visit census.gov (http://census.gov/) to browse quality information current and historical facts and figures about Americas people, places, and economy. An additional tool offered by the U.S. Census Bureau, the data.census.gov (https://data.census.gov/) is a platform designed to help users access demographic and economic data digitally. The Census Academy (https://www.census.gov/data/academy.html) has many short tutorials for searching this website. For more information, consult the Census Bureau's FAQ (https://ask.census.gov/) , or schedule an appointment with an LSU Libraries Librarian here (https://lsu.libcal.com/appointments/caple) . The census on microfilm LSU owns is limited. The only states in this collection include: Alabama, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia (and scattered census material for West Virginia). Information on other states may be located at the National Archives (http://www.archives.gov/research/start/index.html) in Washington D.C., the regional branches (http://www.archives.gov/locations/index.html) of the National Archives, as well as the Bluebonnet Regional Branch of the East Baton Rouge Parish Library (https://www.ebrpl.com/) . The collection of census material at LSU Libraries includes population schedules, agricultural census data, lists of manufactures, slave schedules, passenger lists for the port of New Orleans covering 1853-1899, social statistics, and scattered information concerning Defective, Dependent and Delinquent Classes. Other material that may be helpful for researching archives for genealogy information include Records of the Diocese of Louisiana and the "Floridas", New Orleans City Directories for years 1805-1945, New Orleans Christian Advocate concerning Marriage and Death Notices, Military Academy Letters, and Indian Affairs, just to name a few. If you would like to access any of these materials, contact libgovdocs@lsu.edu . Answered by: Kendall Caple
Are there computers I can use in the library?
LSU faculty, staff, and students can use the computer labs located in rooms 141 and 241 of LSU Library. Students should log in using their myLSU credentials. Please contact LSU ITS with any questions regarding computer labs. Public/guest visitors can use the public access computers that are located near the print station in room 241. The primary function of LSU Libraries is academic research. For that reason, the public computers are provided for the public to do research, access the library databases, and search our online catalog. Special notes regarding public access computers:
- Printing is not available.
- Computers do not support non-browser-based applications such as word processors, video conferencing software, etc.
- Downloads are prohibited; therefore, guests are unable to save or upload files via email service providers, USB drives, external hard drives, etc.
- Patrons may be asked to limit session time if others are waiting. LSU Information Technology Services | Service Desk

How do I look at journal impact factors organized by discipline?
If you need to learn the JIF (Journal Impact Factor) or ranking of a journal, Journal Citation Reports (https://libezp.lib.lsu.edu/login?url=https://jcr.clarivate.com) is the place to start. If you can't find information about the journal you are interested in, contact your subject librarian (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/staff?field_staff_type=2&search_api_staff=&fiel…) or the Research Impact Librarian, Andrea Hebert (https://lib.lsu.edu/staff#index.phpandreahebert) .

Catch Me If You Can: A Multi-Agent Synthetic Fraud Detection Framework for Complex Networks
Detecting fraudulent behavior across diverse domains presents a significant challenge due to the adaptive and elusive activities of fraud agents. Furthermore, imbalanced data distributions and limited labeled examples increase the difficulty of detecting fraud agents. To address these challenges, we propose Catch Me If You Can—a Multi-Agent Framework to generate synthetic datasets and simulate various types of fraudulent behavior, including but not limited to anti-money laundering (AML), credit card fraud, bot attacks, and malicious traffic. Our framework comprises two core agent types: (1) Detectors, trained to identify suspicious patterns in scenarios, and (2) Transaction Agents, including both legitimate participants and adversarial fraud agents employing strategies to evade detection. In this framework, detectors iteratively refine their detection strategies while fraud agents evolve adaptive tactics to disguise illicit activities, creating an adversarial coevolutionary environment. This dynamic fosters the generation of high-dimensional and realistic datasets for training and testing. By integrating synthetic pre-training with transfer learning, the framework leverages a variety of real-world datasets—including IEEE-CIS Fraud Detection, Credit Card Fraud Detection, and Elliptic++—demonstrating its broad applicability across multiple fraud domains. Our approach significantly improves detection performance, bridging the gap between simulation and real-world applications. It enables robust training across heterogeneous fraud behaviors, contributing to the development of resilient, generalizable solutions for financial security and fraud prevention.
A 5-Level Asymmetrical Multilevel Inverter Using Catch Fish Optimization Algorithm Based On Islanded Mode Single-Phase Community Microgrid
The concept of inverters aims to improve efficiency and power quality in high-power applications. Traditional two-level inverters produce a square waveform, requiring extensive filtering to achieve a sine wave. In contrast, multilevel inverters use a staircase approach for better waveform quality. To minimize errors and harmonic distortion in a 5-level MLI, this paper proposes Catch Fish Optimization Algorithm (CFOA) optimized controller. The primary objective is to enhance maximum power extraction from a photovoltaic (PV) array, integrating a battery energy storage system for efficiency. Battery paired with PV stores excess energy and supply when required. A quantum neural network-based MPPT, optimized using Red Panda Optimization (RPO) technique, tracks maximum power. A 3DOF-FOTD-FOTID controller efficiently manages the 5-level MLI. The system achieves low total harmonic distortion (THD) of 1.26% for voltage and 1.12% for current, improving efficiency and reducing distortion. This demonstrates significant improvements in the MPPT performance, making the proposed system highly effective.
