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

Posted on by

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.
