It also allows users to change the brightness and contract of an image. Users can print or export images (in PNG format or PowerPoint slides) and download a series of images in high definition.

Did you know…It’s National Library Week?
Each year the ALA (American Library Association) sets aside one week to celebrate the contributions of libraries to the communities that they serve.This year’s theme for National Library Week is “Lives change @ your library.” Here at MSK Library, we are proud to collaborate and learn with the researchers, doctors and other dedicated staff at MSK who change lives every day.
In addition to celebrations happening at libraries all over the country, a few publishers have joined in by providing free access to some materials. Oxford University Press is offering free access to their online resources, and Proquest also has opened up access to several of their resources for the week.
