How do I find scholarly resources?
Generally, we recommend doing a search on the library's homepage using the Discovery search box when just starting out with your research or class assignment. It searches across many of our databases and the library catalog. Here is a video tutorial (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/c.php?g=1184345&p=8662507) on how to search Discovery for scholarly resources. 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/about/staff/specialists) 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. For basic research tips, see this research guide (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/ENG1001) . Answered by: Electronic Resources
Can I recall a book that is checked out to someone else?
LSU Library used to offer a service that allowed library to patrons to recall items checked out to other patrons. Access Services no longer offers this option. Instead, if LSU Librarys copy of an item is checked out, patrons can obtain a different copy of the item through Interlibrary Loan. Catalog records for items that are checked out contain links for Interlibrary Loan that import the items citation information directly into a request form. In certain rare situations, library staff may recall an item from a patron. LSU Libraries | Interlibrary Loan Answered by: Access Services Staff

The environmental trade-off of fertiliser, residue and catch crop management in Danish cropping systems
Context Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient in agriculture, affecting both crop yields and soil health. In Denmark, one of the most densely farmed regions in the world, excess reactive nitrogen (Nr) compounds are lost to the environment along gaseous and hydrological pathways in forms such as nitrate, ammonia, nitrogen oxides and dinitrogen.Objectives Here, we aim to assess the effect of different field management practices (fertilisation, crop residue management or cultivation of catch crops) on environmental Nr losses and the field scale soil net GHG balance (i.e., sum of soil C stock changes and direct and indirect N2O emissions).Methods For this purpose, highly detailed data from the Danish Agricultural Watershed Monitoring Program (LOOP-program; 2013–2019) were used in combination with the process-based model LandscapeDNDC.Results and conclusions The results indicate that a mixture of organic and synthetic fertilisers turns soils to a stronger net sink of GHGs (∼70 – ∼514 kgCO2−eq ha−1 yr−1) compared to exclusive use of only one type of fertiliser. In addition, incorporating crop residue and cultivation of catch crops increases the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) by 3–11 % on average and decreases environmental Nr losses.Significance These findings emphasize the potential of targeted fertiliser, residue and catch crop management to increase the sustainability of crop production systems in Denmark.
Lucky Catch
Trouble always comes in threes. At least that's what Lucky O'Toole, the VP of Customer Relations for Las Vegas'primo Strip casino/hotel, the Babylon, has heard. So, tonight, when Teddie, her former lover shows up at her office unannounced and unexpected, a cadre of celebrity chefs with the maturity of teenagers arrives at the Babylon for a televised cook-off, and Lucky's current lover, Jean-Charles Bouclet stops answering his phone leaving Lucky to handle his five-year-old son, Lucky figures she has tonight's compliment of chaos covered. As usual, she is a tad optimistic. When a prized Alba truffle is stolen from the walk-in in Jean-Charles'restaurant and a young chef apparently killed with a smoking gun is found in Jean-Charles'food truck on the back lot, trouble takes a sinister turn. And Jean-Charles still isn't answering his phone. Desperate to put a lid on the body count and more than frantic over her AWOL lover, Lucky uses her Vegas contacts to search in places and in ways the police wouldn't or couldn't. Teddie insists on riding shotgun. Lucky has never been able to resist Teddie … not really. With danger dogging their heels, Lucky finds herself falling once again under his spell as they traverse Vegas, drawn deeper and deeper into the highly competitive world of high-end eateries and the battle for the very rare, most highly prized gourmet foodstuffs. And when Lucky's path crosses the killer's… will her goose be cooked?
