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.

Preview the New Library Catalog and Let Us Know What You Think!

On June 15, 2015, the Library will be launching Tri-Cat 2.0 — a new version of the online catalog we share with The Rockefeller University and Weill Cornell Medical Libraries.  The new enhancements provide a streamline layout which will allow users to access content from their home institution as well as understand other collections available to them. Take a moment to preview and explore the new catalog.

There is still time to let us know what you think. We encourage you to submit your feedback while on the site or via this link to the Catalog Feedback Form.  Your insights will help us to further refine the look and feel of Tri-Cat!
