PubMed Makes it Easier to Find References

Posted on by

PubMed has a built-in discovery tool called Similar Articles (formerly labeled Related Citations). This feature appears below each reference on a list of results as well as on the abstract view page for a reference. The name was changed to make this feature clearer to users. It’s a useful tool to be aware of, especially for those tough searches that don’t yield a sufficient number of results. See the screenshots below for examples of what you can expect to see in PubMed.

As always, if you’re having trouble with your research or finding references, we’re here to help so choose ones of the many ways to Ask Us!

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.
