Welcome to Our First Library Progress Report

Posted on by


I am delighted to present to our readers and Library users our first Library Progress Report highlighting our activities for 2010 and 2011. This report is a celebration of our accomplishments and marks our progress over the last two years.  We hope by sharing this information, it will spark interest for MSK staff to take a few moments to explore a new resource, service, or partner with us on a project where an information professional can help contribute to the team’s success. 

If you want to learn more about the MSKCC Library, don’t hesitate to contact me.
