Effective Immediately – Current Protocols Trial Available to the MSK Research Community

This resource offers instant, easy access to protocol abstracts, materials lists, and more, while linking to full text content hosted on Wiley Online Library that the MSK Library subscribes to. Researchers, especially early career scientists will be able to try out various tools, calculators and see videos that will support their lab work and beyond the bench.  Continue reading

Celebrate Oncology Nursing Month!

May has arrived and that means it’s Oncology Nursing Month! The MSK Library staff would like to recognize and congratulate our oncology nurses for the exceptional skill they exhibit everyday while providing the best quality care for patients.

Our dedicated Library Nursing Liaison along with our team of information professionals provide a plethora of resources and services to aide nurses with their research, education plans and patient care endeavors. The collaboration between Nursing and the Library has been very well received and acknowledged by the members of the nursing department.  Below are just two quotes from our nurses that illustrate the benefits of this partnership:

  • The Librarian has been part of our Evidence-based projects and has provided enormous support in collection and analysis of the literature.” – Nurse Administrator
  • “I use our library extensively for my school work. I am studying for my Masters of Science” Staff Nurse in Peri-Operative

If you are a nurse and would like to share your testimonial or tell us a story where the Library and staff have supported your work or research activities, please contact Marisol Hernandez.  We definitely want to hear from you!
