The end of year is rapidly approaching and the MSK Library team has been very busy supporting and collaborating with our user community. To gain a sense of what we’ve been up to this year, take a moment to explore our new Library Dashboard, with a fresh look and feel, outlining the team’s activities via metrics. The information presented represents a snapshot of the work we do.
These metrics focus on a variety of services and resources such as:
1. literature search and document delivery requests;
2. class attendance;
3. content usage for our digital journal and book collections;
4. website traffic;
5. our new FAQs section, designed to help users find quick answers to our most popular client questions;
6. Synapse and the increasing number of MSK authors and their publications;
7. research data management and how we are tracking the MSK Data Catalog views, where MSK researchers are depositing their data sets, and the growing interest in data management plans;
8. our quarterly virtual event, Advancing Authorship Series;
9. and the SKOAP Fund request submissions we are tracking for authors who need financial support for article processing charges.
We also continued to promote our in-person and Virtual Library Services in support of incoming client requests and encouraged our user community to use our chat feature on the library website as a way to obtain immediate help.
However you celebrate, I hope you find moments of joy and happiness this holiday season to lift your spirit and restore your energy for 2024. Wishing a very Happy New Year to all!
Cheers,
Donna Gibson
Director, Library Services
