Did You Know? October is National Medical Librarians Month

Posted on by

The MSK Library just wanted to let you know that National Medical Librarians Month (NMLM) has arrived.  NMLM was established by the Medical Library Association in 1997 to raise awareness of the important role that medical librarians play in your medical and research activities. This year’s theme, “Are You a Risk Taker?“ is an opportunity for us to remind our user community that we are here to help support their information needs.   Our ongoing goals are to provide relevant and quality resources, as well as services and expertise that will impact and enhance education, patient care, and research excellence.

If you recently submitted a literature search request, please take a moment to share your experience with us by completing this brief survey and let us know how we are doing.

New Library Security Gate System at the Samuel J. Wood Library, Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC)

Attention: MSK Library Users

Effective Tuesday, September 22, MSK staff who visits the Samuel J. Wood Library will need to have a special library-issued access card to enter and exit the library’s new gates during regular operating hours.

In order for MSK staff to obtain this access card from WCMC, they need to be registered or be an active user in their home-library system.  If you are not sure of your MSK Library status, don’t hesitate to ASK US!

In addition, WCMC have extended their hours of operation.

MSK staff should continue to go to their home library for research or literature requests, document delivery, or other services.

Thank you for your cooperation.
