Molecular Biology of the Cell is NOW ONLINE!

Posted on by

One of our most popular titles — Molecular Biology of the Cell, 6th Edition — is now available as an eBook!  We have added 3 online copies of this popular resource in addition to the print editions already available in our Library. This 6th edition has been updated with the latest research in the field of cell biology, and provides an exceptional framework for teaching and learning.  Chapters have been updated with new end-of-chapter problems and questions on developmental biology, tissues and stem cells, pathogens, and the immune system.

Molecular Biology of the Cell can be accessed via OneSearch.

Patient-controlled Mammography Compression Does Not Reduce Image Quality, Study Finds

Posted on by

A new study in JAMA Internal Medicine found that when women controlled the level of breast compression during mammography, image quality was not compromised. A French team studied 548 women, 275 of whom had mammography with self compression and 273 had standard mammography. Self-reported pain was lower in those with self compression, who only had an average three millimeter difference in compression compared to those with the standard test. In a Reuters Health report of the study, MSK’s Dr. Deborah Korenstein said that when women control compression, they may have more comfortable tests and be less likely to avoid mammograms in the future.

Usability Testing of ONESEARCH Our New Search and Discovery Tool

Posted on by

The Library recently conducted usability research of our new search discovery tool ONESEARCH to evaluate the interface, determine whether the tool served MSK users in an intuitive way, identify problem areas, and share possible improvements. The resulting feedback will be relevant in guiding future enhancements to ONESEARCH. We want to thank all the participants that contributed their time and insight to this study.
