Celebrating 2022 MSK Library Kudos

We are so proud to end 2022 with a selection of “kudos” and thanks we received from the MSK community this year. MSK, you keep us going!

You told us how we saved you time…

“Fantastic! I spent a great deal of time looking for it. You are so efficient! Thank you so much.” 
Department: Radiology

“I am a big user of our library and as an author of more than 700 articles a person familiar with libraries and their resources….but today you did something that was important for me, and I could never have done it. I know you said that’s what librarians do….but it really is true. I am so grateful (and impressed).”
Department: Ophthalmic Oncology Service

“I’m so impressed by the Library service because you have the skills to compile the articles in this way that I don’t and it makes our lives so much easier as researchers.”

Webinar: “Retractions Are on the Rise….But Not Enough”

The number of retractions has increased significantly in recent years. Fraudulent research impacts all researchers, their institutions, and the journals that have accepted their manuscripts for publication. Join us for an historical overview and insights from our speakers about the cost of scientific fraud and the retraction process. 

In addition, there will be time for attendees to participate in an interactive Q&A session.
