The main Library (located in the Rockefeller Research Laboratories Building) and the CyberLibrary Café (Zuckerman Research Center) will be closed on Monday, May 28, 2012 in observance of Memorial Day.

Regular hours will resume Tuesday at both our locations.

TEDMED organizers have started to add the 2012 videos to their Website.  Each TEDMED 2012 speaker will be made available over the next few months and they will add 2 to 3 videos each week.  As the video list grows, take advantage of organizing the display by most recent, most popular, or see all — from A to Z!

TEDMED is an annual conference focusing on health and medicine and is unlike any other medical meeting.  Attending just one session can change your perspective on what the future might bring!  Speakers and attendees come from all sectors of society to explore possibilities, share ideas, and ponder fresh insights.

Librarians Christine Beardsley and Sylvie Larsen recently won the Earth Day “Green Ideas Contest” with their idea to convert the MSKCC shuttles to bio-diesel or hybrid. Congratulations, Christine and Sylvie!

They are part of an eco-conscious team in the Library that attempts to implement environmentally friendly practices wherever possible. If you are an MSKCC Library patron with a suggestion for how we can improve current practices, please let us know!
