How can I search multiple databases at the same time?
Yes, there is a way to search multiple databases at one time. Generally, we recommend doing a search on the library's homepage (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/) using the Discovery search box when just starting out with your research or class assignment. It functions like a Google search in that it searches across many of our databases and the library catalog. Finally, if you prefer to meet with a research librarian who can give you a much deeper dive into searching and using our resources, you can set up an appointment with one. Here (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/staff?field_staff_type=2&search_api_staff=&fiel…) is a list of our research librarians organized by their subject areas. We especially recommend that faculty and graduate students contact their subject specialists when working on major research projects. Answered by: Electronic Resources
Where is the Center located?
The T. Harry Williams Center for Oral History is on the 2nd floor of the Hill Memorial Library. From the stairs: Go up the left staircase, take a left through the double doors, and walk straight through Quiet Study Space Room 201. The Center offices are located in the back right corner of this large room. From the elevators: Take the elevator up to 2, take a right through the double doors, and proceed to walk straight through the Quiet Study Space, Rm 201. The Center offices are in the back right corner of this large room. Answered by: Jennifer Cramer
How does the Center decide whom to interview?
The Williams Center chooses interviewees whose recollections best fit within one of our projects. If you know someone whose life experience fits within one of our projects, let us know about that person and why you think their stories would contribute to our oral history collection. To nominate someone for an interview, complete and return our bio data form. However, due to limited resources, a better alternative may be to interview the person yourself. We can provide guidance and training in oral history techniques so that you can interview people whose stories and memories deserve preservation. To learn more about our training, please visit Create an Oral History (https://lib.lsu.edu/oralhistory) Answered by: Jennifer Cramer

Always a Catch
A ripped-from-the-headlines story about teens and steroids.From a New York Times bestselling sports writer comes the story of one boy's quest to stay true to himself without letting down his team. Jack and his father have never seen eye to eye…until Jack's dad gives him the chance to transfer to Oakhurst his junior year. His dad sees it as a way for Jack to get into a good college; Jack sees it as refuge from his dad. Oakhurst is more than an escape—it's a chance for Jack to do something new, to try out for the football team. Once Jack makes the team, he's thrust into a foreign world—one of intense hazing, vitamin supplements, monkey hormones and steroids. Jack has to decide how far he's willing to go to fit in—and how much he's willing to compromise himself to be the man his team wants him to be.Perfect for fans of Mike Lupica and Tim Green.Praise for ALWAYS A CATCH:'Richmond has written an above-average story that will appeal to fans of the genre and authors, such as Mike Lupica and Tim Green.'--School Library Journal'A dynamic but thoughtful novel of self-discovery.'--Kirkus Reviews'Richmond skillfully delivers scene after scene of gridiron grit while maintaining Jack's wit and charm, and pulling off a winning story, on and off the field. Readers can only hope that this isn't Richmond's last young adult novel.'--Publishers Weekly'This is a quick and easy read that leaves the reader with hope for Jack's future.'--Library Media Connection
The Catch : A Vanessa Michael Munroe Novel
“Stevens excels at depicting pulse-pounding danger… Her writing places her heads above most authors working in the thriller genre. Only Dan Brown and Lee Child come close.” —Dallas Morning NewsVanessa Michael Munroe, chameleon and information hunter, has a reputation for getting things done—often dangerous and not quite legal things. With blood on her hands and a soul stained with guilt, Munroe has fled to Djibouti, Africa. There, with no responsibility except a gig at a small maritime security company, Munroe finds stillness—until she's pressured to work as an armed guard on a ship bound for Kenya. On board, Munroe discovers the contract is merely cover for gunrunning; when the ship is invaded off the Somali coast, she fights her way out—dragging the unconscious captain with her. But nothing about the hijacking is what it seems. The pirates had come for the captain, and continuing their pursuit, they unwittingly raise the killer's instinct Munroe has tried so hard to bury. Wounded and on the run, Vanessa Michael Munroe will use the life of her catch as bait and bartering chip to manipulate every player, and wash her conscience clean.
Does Catch-Up Growth Come with a Cognitive Cost? Cognitive Outcome and Growth Patterns in Growth Discordant Identical Twins
Objective To determine whether it is the magnitude of early postnatal catch-up growth (CUG) in response to fetal growth restriction (FGR) or the FGR itself that negatively impacts cognitive outcome in a model of monochorionic twins discordant for fetal growth.Study design This analysis is part of the LEMON study, a cohort study including all monochorionic twins with selective FGR aged 3 through 17 years. Growth measurements as documented by our primary care system were collected retrospectively. An age-appropriate neurodevelopmental test was performed generating a full-scale IQ (FSIQ). CUG at 2 years was calculated as (weight [kg] at 2 years—birth weight [kg]). We used a multivariable regression model investigating the association between FSIQ (outcome) and birth weight zscore, gestational age at birth and CUG at 2 years (predictors). Generalized estimating equations accounted for the fact that observations between cotwins are not independent.Results Median age at follow-up of the 46 included twin pairs was 11 (IQR 8-13) years. Birth weight z score and gestational age at birth were significantly associated with FSIQ, with β-coefficients of 5.897 (95% CI 3.382-8.411), and 2.589 (95% CI 1.227-3.951), respectively (P 
Spatial-temporal neural networks for catch rate standardization and fish distribution modeling
Catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) standardization is crucial for fishery stock assessment but often presents challenges due to spatial-temporal variations in species distribution and fishing effort. In this simulation study, we propose the use of customized artificial neural networks (ANNs) for modeling the spatial-temporal variations in CPUE standardization. This is achieved by encoding prior knowledge of the dependency structure between the variables into the architecture of the ANNs. We conducted numerical experiments on simulated data to compare our customized ANNs with Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), Generalized Additive Models (GAMs), and fully connected ANNs used in previous studies. Our simulated data cover three spatial-temporal dynamics scenarios with different degrees of species distribution shift over time: (1) steady fish distribution; (2) gradual directional shift over time; (3) sudden directional shift. In predicting the standardized CPUE in this simulation study, the customized ANNs demonstrated greater accuracy compared to the commonly used fully connected ANNs with an error reduction of over 70 %, more than 80 % compared to GLMs, and more than 40 % compared to GAMs, in terms of an error metric called the scaled mean absolute relative error. Our findings suggest that customized ANNs can serve as an alternative modeling tool alongside GLMs and GAMs in fisheries modeling.
From lake to fisheries: Interactive effect of climate and landuse changes hit on lake fish catch?
Global warming and unpredictable nature possess a negative impact on fisheries and the daily activities of other habitats. GIS and remote sensing approach is an effective tool to determine the morphological characteristics of the lake. The present study addresses the interactive effect of climate and landuse changes hit on fish catch in lake fisheries. We used a combination of the landscape disturbance index, vulnerability index, and loss index to construct a complete ecological risk assessment framework based on the landscape structure of regional ecosystems. The results indicate an increase from around 45%–76% in the percentage of land susceptible to moderate to ecological severe risk in the landscape from 2004 to 2023. Since 1950, temperature changes have increased by 0.4%, precipitation has decreased by 6%, and water levels have decreased by 4.2%, based on the results. The results indicate that landuse, water temperature, precipitation, and water depth significantly impact the aquaculture system. The findings strongly suggest integrating possible consequences of environmental change on fish yield for governance modeling techniques to minimize their effects.
