On March 31, MSK Library hosted our first Advancing Authorship event of 2021 – Available Upon Request: Towards Meaningful Data Discoverability.
In this session, 105 attendees learned about the current FAIR guiding principles for scientific data management and stewardship, data availability statements, the MSK Library’s Research Data Management Service and Data Catalog, and data governance at MSK.

It has officially been a year since the MSK Library closed its physical space during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. We re-opened our door two days per week in October 2020, and the highlight of our re-opening was seeing members of the MSK community in person. Whether we are assisting our users in person, or via our virtual services, we are so grateful for your words of thanks. Here is a sampling of some that helped get us through a long, hard winter:
“So many thanks to you and your assistance. The list is an excellent foundation for the start of my work, and I appreciate your help.. I am so thankful that you have given me this great start.”
Department: Nursing
“Thank you Johanna!! Excellent lecture. That was really great. You are a wonderful resource!”
Department: Radiology
“Have a great day! Thanks for your very powerful work at MSKCC!”
Service: Document Delivery
“This is great. It means a lot to me to get reliable info. I don’t want to go down the rabbit hole of “the google” and read outdated info. And I crave reliable information regarding all things related to my cancer diagnosis and testing. Of course this is not a replacement for discussing info with my oncologist. It just makes me better informed.”
