I'm unable to create an account or log in to Scholarly Repository
In order to create an account in the LSU Scholarly Repository, users can create an account by visiting this link (https://repository.lsu.edu/cgi/useradd.cgi?context=https://repository.l…) . If users have forgotten their password, users can reset their password by visiting this link (https://repository.lsu.edu/cgi/reset_password.cgi?email=&context=https%…) . Once students have graduated, we recommend that they update their LSU Scholarly Repository account with a non-LSU e-mail address as their LSU e-mail address will eventually be deactivated. In order to update an e-mail address, users should login to their account at LSU Scholarly Repository Login (https://repository.lsu.edu/cgi/login.cgi?return_to=https%3A%2F%2Freposi…) and click Edit Profile under Account Settings . Once here, users should be able to update their e-mail addresses. If, by chance, former students no longer have access to their e-mail and have forgotten their password, they'll need to contact bepress support at support@bepress.com (mailto:support@bepress.com) . ***Questions regarding the submission of theses or dissertations should be directed to the Graduate School via e-mail at gradsvcs@lsu.edu (mailto:gradsvcs@lsu.edu ) or telephone at (225) 578-2311.

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

Variation in the catch rate and distribution of three important commercial Spanish mackerel (Commerson: Niphonius: Guttatus) related to ENSO events around the waters off Taiwan
Spanish mackerel species are migratory species, also are highly commercially valuable in Taiwan. However, in recent years, climate change and variability have influenced oceanographic conditions, substantially impacting the population dynamics of pelagic species. This study developed weighted habitat suitability index models for three crucial Scomberomorus species—Scomberomorus commerson, Scomberomorus niphonius, and Scomberomorus guttatus—in the waters off Taiwan. Remote sensing data including sea surface temperature, sea surface chlorophyll-a, sea surface salinity, and sea surface height, along with voyage data records that included detailed catch data from Taiwanese drift gillnet fisheries were collected during 2011–2019. The primary fishing grounds for S. commerson are located in the central to southwestern Taiwan Strait, while S. niphonius and S. guttatus are mainly found in the coastal waters off western Taiwan. In autumn, the oceanographic factor preferences are relatively similar among Scomberomorus species, with sea surface temperature being the primary influencing factor. Sea surface height turns to the main influencing factor in winter. Based on the results of the weighted habitat suitability model, we found seasonal differences in habitat preferences and ranges. There is more pronounced overlap in potential habitat in autumn and partial separate condition in potential habitat in winter among Scomberomorus species. Further exploration of the spatiotemporal distribution dynamics of Scomberomorus species under different ENSO periods revealed that during La Niña periods, the potential habitat ranges are broader and extend further south. In contrast, during El Niño periods, and the potential habitat ranges contract northward. Habitat suitable index model may be a useful approach for evaluating possible changes in habitat suitability resulting from climate change or other oceanographic phenomena and in offering suggestions for fishery scientific management.
Improving students’ attendance in Values Education classes during Catch-Up Fridays through collaborative game-based learning
This study aimed to improve the attendance of 36 Grade 8 Santan students in Values Education classes during Catch-Up Fridays through Collaborative Game-Based Learning. Using a mixed-method design, the study evaluated attendance trends before and after the intervention. Quantitative data were collected from School Form 2 (SF2) to measure attendance, and a paired sample t-test revealed a significant increase in mean attendance values, from 3.47 to 4.47, with a p-value of less than 0.05, confirming the intervention's effectiveness. Qualitative data were gathered through a focus group discussion (FGD) and a thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's (2006) framework was used to examine how students find Collaborative Game-Based Learning as an intervention to improve attendance. Students’ responses from the FGD showed that Collaborative Game-Based fosters student engagement, enhances participation, and creates a fun and dynamic learning environment.
