The Main Library (located in the Rockefeller Research Laboratories Building) and the CyberLibrary Café (Zuckerman Research Center) will be closed on Monday, September 5, 2011 in observance of  Labor Day.

Regular hours will resume Tuesday at both our locations.

For those interested in the history of Labor Day, check out the United States Department of Labor Website.

The MSKCC Library is implementing a New Open URL to improve access to our electronic collection.

Starting on September 9th the button that you see when searching PubMed will lead to our new OpenURL resolver. Here is an example of the Citation Service Menu and Journal & eBook A-Z page that will soon be available.

You can now search journals (both online and print) and ebooks in one place through the journal & ebook A-Z page; email or export your citations and report an access issue to us from the menu screen.

360 Link will try to get you as close as it can to the full text of the article. When the article is available you will receive a link to the Full-text itself. Sometimes the best 360 Link can do is to take you to the table of contents or the journal’s home page, and you will have to navigate the publisher’s site yourself to get to the full-text. In those instances you will receive links to the Journal and/or Resource level. If there is no full-text available, you can submit a request to ILLiad Document Delivery or search the Library Catalog.
