Can I request materials of interest before I arrive?
Yes, you have the option to place requests to view materials in our reading room after you have set up an online account. First, create a Special Collections Request System account (https://specialcollections.lib.lsu.edu/logon) . We highly suggest that you make a request in advance because some materials must be retrieved from an off-site storage facility (requiring 48 business hours of advanced notice) and in-house materials can only be retrieved by staff from our closed stacks. Visit the librarys public catalog. (https://lsu.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/lsu) TIP: In the first drop down box that defaults to Everything, simply select Special Collections and then conduct your search. Click on the Request Item link in the catalog record to place your request. Yes, you have the option to place requests to view materials in our reading room after you have set up an online account.

Can I access an "unprocessed" collection?
It depends! This is a curator-level decision and will vary for each case. All requests for access to unprocessed collections require the Williams Center director's authorization. Any duplications of unprocessed interviews are not allowed beyond "Fair Use" unless this restriction is cleared by the director upon staff review of the item. Please note that the review process may take at least 1-2 business days, depending on the size of the collection. Answered by: Jennifer Cramer
How can I order a copy of audio, transcription, or both?
You'll want to check to see if the interview is in the Louisiana Digital Library. If it is not on the LDL, and is cataloged and available, then please follow the procedures outlined via LSU Libraries Special Collections Public Services. Be sure to have the collection number, tape number, and the name of the interviewee handy to fill out the form. Please note-these copy requests are not processed by Williams Center personnel but through Public Services, as indicated in the above procedures. The interview will be sent to you as PDF or a MP3. Answered by: Jennifer Cramer
What should I bring with me when I visit the Reading Room?
A pencil, paper for notetaking, and personal devices (e.g. laptop, tablet, cellphone, camera) are allowed in the Reading Room. Food, drinks, pens, and portable scanners are not allowed. All personal items such as bags (including laptop and camera cases), briefcases, purses, coats, and umbrellas must be left in one of the secure lockers that are provided free of charge in the lobby. Be aware that anything brought into the Reading Room is subject to search before you leave.

Ocean Warming Effects on Catch and Revenue Composition in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea
Climate change‐induced ocean warming can have profound implications for marine ecosystems and the socioeconomic activities dependent on them, affecting the catch composition, and fisheries revenue. Our study evaluates spatio‐temporal changes in the Northwestern Mediterranean marine fisheries catch and revenue composition tied to ocean warming and disentangles the different underlying processes. To do so, we analyzed the weighted mean thermal affinity of the catch (Mean Temperature of the Catch: MTC) and revenue (Mean Temperature of Revenue: MTR) across different taxonomic groups, fishing fleets, and fishing harbors, using a 23‐year time series of commercial landings. Results revealed changes in catch and revenue composition, with an overall temporal increase in the MTC (0.68°C per decade) and MTR (0.58°C per decade) linked to local sea temperature. The temporal increase in both indices prevailed across fishing fleets and taxonomic groups. The processes underpinning these changes over time were tropicalization (i.e. relative increase of warm‐affinity species; 41.97% for MTC and 45.20% for MTR), and deborealization (i.e. relative decrease of cold‐affinity species; 46.58% for MTC and 44.99% for MTR), with variability across dimensions. Deborealization particularly influenced pelagic fisheries (i.e. purse‐seiners and surface longliners) and some commercially important species (e.g. European hake, blue whiting, and Norway lobster). Even if the temporal increase in MTC and MTR was consistent across taxonomic groups and fleets, the spatial dimension showed heterogeneity and temporal declines in some cases. In summary, our study provides valuable information about temporal changes in catch composition associated with local ocean warming and reveals potential cascading effects through the social‐ecological system. In particular, we presented the MTR approach for the first time, evidencing ocean warming effects on revenue composition. We suggest that the correlation between changes in catch and revenue composition reveals the adaptive capacity, or fragility of specific fishing fleets and points to management priorities.
