Annual IS Holiday Food, Coat and Toy Drive

Posted on by

Food, coat, and toy collection boxes are now available at the MSK Library (RRL), until Friday, December 15th.

There are five other MSK collection locations:

  • 633 3rd Avenue 2nd and 5th floors
  • telecom area in Memorial (MB38)
  • data centers at Lyndhurst and Monmouth

Please participate in any way that you can. All collected items will be distributed to organizations in Queens, Long Island and New Jersey.

If you prefer to make a financial donation, please see Cynthia Hutchinson (633/5th), Lisa Vreeland (MB38), Donna Gibson (RRL), Mercedes Vila (LDC/MDC) or Karmen Katz (633/2nd)—all funds will be used to buy food for the drive.

All non-perishable food is welcome—please check the dates to make sure that all food is healthy and usable. Coats should be new, or used but in good, wearable condition. And finally, toys should be new and unwrapped.

Alternatively, please consider giving to a charity of your choice.

Thanks in advance for your thoughtful participation and a very Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays to all!

There are a number of useful alternatives to PubMed that incorporate external functionality to augment the database’s already-impressive capabilities. For a comprehensive list (and descriptions) of these tools, check out MSK Library’s LibGuide on PubMed Alternative Interfaces.

One such alternative, HubMed, has a particularly remarkable ability that makes it enormously useful:

It can search for an entire plain text bibliography (ie. a reference list with multiple citations that does not include PMID or DOI numbers) and find the equivalent PubMed records (if available) within minutes. It then gives you the option to download the citations in either RIS or BibTeX formats.

A few things to keep in mind when using the HubMed Citation Finder:

-When you paste in a bibliography, there does appear to be a limit to how many citations can be searched at one. (I easily did just over 60 without any issues.)

-Each citation needs to be on a separate line. (My double-spaced test bibliography worked fine.) Continue reading →
