New Entrance Gate System at Weill Cornell Medical College Library – Impacts MSK Library Users

Posted on by

The Weill Cornell Medical (WMC) College Samuel J. Wood Library is installing a new entrance gate system.  This system will require all users, including those from Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK), with valid IDs, to swipe their cards when entering and exiting the Library during regular hours of operation.

It is important for MSK library users to ensure that they are registered with their home institution if they want to maintain their access privileges to the WMC Library and be able to access their collection onsite.  

For any MSK library user, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact, Donna Gibson, Director of Library Services.

ORCID IDs Are Now Being Indexed in PubMed

Posted on by

Do you have an ORCID ID? An ORCID ID is a persistent 16-digit identifier expressed as a URL which is unique to the individual and serves a valuable purpose – to eliminate author name ambiguity and improve discoverability to one’s research and scholarly works.  Learn more from a past Library Blog post!

PubMed is including this important identifier if available.  As of today, if you search PubMed (orcid[auid]), you will see that 17,698 records now include this information when you view the PubMed record in Medline format.
