Now you can access the best biomedical mobile apps in one place: Mobile Resources Selected by the MSK Library. This online tool was developed by librarians at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, so it is especially strong for cancer-related resources. Physicians, nurses, researchers, and other medical professionals can browse by device (Android, Blackberry, iPhone), by professional interest, or in one A-Z list. Also covered are popular e-readers, PDF viewers, and document storage apps that help you access, store and share journal articles on your mobile device.

Although most of the resources are available to anyone, some are mobile versions of content licensed by the MSK Library, so access is limited to those affiliated with the Center. Most of the resources are available at no cost to the user, although some app developers charge a fee. To date, more than eighty mobile resources are described including diagnostic tools, calculators, journals, guidelines, databases, clinical trials, and apps for molecular biology.

As with any library service, the MSK librarians welcome your email or phone call if you have questions or would like guidance in navigating, accessing or downloading apps to your mobile device.

And since new medical and research applications and websites are being developed every day, you can submit suggestions for mobile resources to add. Visit often to find out what’s new.
