Who has access to online library databases?
Due to licensing restrictions, off-campus access to databases is generally reserved only for current LSU faculty, staff, and students. On-campus access should be available to anyone connected to the LSU Wireless network. Because public patrons do not have access to LSU Wi-Fi, LSU Library houses a few public access computers in room 241. Non-affiliates and public patrons who are able to visit in person will have full access to databases using these computers. We also have a list of open access databases that should be accessible to everyone from anywhere (see below). The online library catalog is also open to everyone.

How can I renew my books?
There are three different ways you can renew your LSU Library books:
- In-person: Bring your items to the checkout desk in room 241 of LSU Library. Be sure to bring your TigerCard or public patron ID.
- Online: Log into your online library account (link below) and select the "Checkouts" tab.
- Self-checkout: Renew your items using the self-checkout station in room 141 of LSU Library. Be sure to bring your TigerCard or public patron ID. Please contact the Circulation department with additional questions or concerns: libcirc@lsu.edu (mailto:libcirc@lsu.edu) . LSU Libraries | Library Catalog Account Answered by: Access Services Staff
Why does my library account say that I am blocked, that I am barred, or that my status is expired?
Users can encounter several different types of status messages. Patrons with questions about their account status can visit the checkout desk in room 241 of LSU Library and ask to speak to a staff member. Alternatively, patrons can reach out to us via e-mail at libcirc@lsu.edu (mailto:libcirc@lsu.edu) . When contacting us via e-mail, LSU students, staff, and faculty should message us from their LSU e-mail address; public patrons should message us from the e-mail address we have on file. For privacy reasons, we cannot discuss the details of patron accounts over the telephone. Expired: Students must be currently enrolled in classes in order to be granted library privileges. Once they graduate, or if they fail to register on time in accord with the deadlines posted on LSUs academic calendar, their privileges expire. If they try to log in to their library account after that date, they will see an alert message informing them that their account has expired. Graduate students who have received a masters degree but are continuing on to get their PhD may also have their privileges expire earlier than expected. The library receives weekly updates on student status from the Registrars Office. Once the semester has begun, if students register during the week, their accounts will not be updated and their privileges extended in the system until the following Monday morning. Blocked: Users with overdue recalled books will have their accounts blocked by the system. Their accounts will remain blocked until the book is returned. The system will not permit staff members to override blocks or to renew books that have been recalled. The only way to remove a block from an account is to return the materials. Barred: Users can be barred from using library materials for a number of reasons, the most common being that they have been billed for lost items. They can also be barred if they resign from the university, if their classes are purged, or for flagrant violations of library policy. If they try to log into their account after they have been barred, they will receive an alert message that tells them that they have been barred. Answered by: Access Services Staff

Catch composition, catch per unit effort (CPUE) and species selectivity of fishing gears on multi-species Kaptai Lake in Bangladesh
Kaptai Lake, the largest artificial reservoir in Southeast Asia, is home to a diverse fish fauna that supports thousands of livelihoods and is distinguished by multi-species and multi-gear fisheries. In Kaptai Lake, the gear-based catch composition, catch rate and distribution pattern are little known. From August 2020 to April 2021, a nine-month study was conducted in five upazilas using direct catch assessment surveys and fishing effort surveys from four fishing gears, namely seine nets, gill nets, lift nets, and push nets. A total of 49 morpho-species from 22 families were found, with three species from the Clupeidae accounting for 93.63 % of the catch in all gear combined. The total catch composition and CPUE were higher in seine nets (75.07 %, 13.86 ± 1.8 kg/gear/trip respectively) and lower in lift nets (4.97 %, 1.01 ± 0.21 kg/gear/trip) and showed significant differences among gears, except sampling sites whereas CPUE was higher in Naniarchar for seine nets (17.29 ± 8.89 kg/gear/trip) and lower in Langadu for lift nets (0.62 ± 0.25 kg/gear/trip). Seine nets captured more species, and the number of species increased significantly as CPUE increased. Our study assessed four gears that targeted different fish species with little overlap in leading species; seine nets and gill nets primarily targeted Clupeidae (96.53 % and 41.69 %, respectively), whereas lift nets and push nets primarily targeted Cyprinidae and Palaemonidae (38.93 % and 99.37 % respectively). The observed abundance and variety of fish species captured in gill nets suggest a significant overlap in the selectivity of this fishing method with that of lift nets. Due to the varying contributions of sites and gears, the nMDS ordination pattern reveals a weak spatial variation in catch composition. According to the SIMPER results, Bagridae, Gobiidae, and Ambassidae were the most significant contributors to site grouping patterns across all gears. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the catch composition does not follow the typical pattern of spatial variation. By implementing measures to eliminate or decrease the usage of small mesh nets, there is expected to be a corresponding decrease in the capture of small fish. Additionally, this action will help mitigate the issue of overlapping selectivity among the current fishing gears. Our findings provide baseline data on the potential efficacy of gear limitation and suggest a gear-based management strategy.
