Over the last year, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been felt by everyone in all walks of life, across the planet. It is not surprising, therefore, that the amount of COVID-19 related information available, both scholarly and not, has continued to grow exponentially.
With over 5,000 trials registered in ClinicalTrials.gov, over 120,000 openly-available journals article in PubMed Central (PMC), over 110,000 records in PubMed, over 2,000 COVID-19 related systematic reviews or meta-analyses, and even 296 publications by MSK authors (as of 3/11/2021), efforts to organize this information and make it more discoverable couldn’t be more welcome.
Thanks to the savvy information evaluation and organization skills of MSK Library Research Informationist, Kendra Godwin, the MSK community and the public at large can now take advantage of the Library’s new COVID-19 LibGuide to discover the plethora of COVID-19 resources and tools available online.
