ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry and results database of publicly and privately supported clinical studies. Citations in PubMed that report clinical trial results have links to the original studies in the ClinicalTrials database. The recorded webinar (7:01) will teach you two ways to filter PubMed searches for publications linked to clinical trials: 1) using the drop-down list of search fields in Advanced Search; 2) using the Article Type filter on the results page. Have questions about clinical trials or searching PubMed? Ask us – we are happy to help.

The MSK Library has an institutional site license to the New York Times (NYT). In order to gain access to this content from off-campus (note: mobile device access is restricted to browsing on the web, not accessing via the NYT app), you must register for an account while on site or on VPN. This is a change from the former way of accessing NYT content – there is no longer a generic username and password to be used by all. You must now have your own account to gain access. There are more details on accessing NYT on our resource page for this publication. Ask us if you have any questions or run into any trouble.
