Available Online: Virtual Connections, MSK Library Report 2020 – 2021

I am delighted to present to our readers and library users our Library Report, highlighting staff accomplishments for 2020 and 2021. This report celebrates many of our successes and marks our progress over the last two years. We highlight key improvements to our operations and services, share client impact stories and metrics, and showcase library staff’s publications. 

I am particularly proud of the client impact stories we selected to write about – how we listened to library users and MSK staff to craft our Library Strategic Plan and roadmap for the next three years, reimagined services to address workflows impacted by COVID-19, transitioned to an online training model, supported the Global Cancer Disparity Initiatives, continued to assist MSK authors, and shared information about the rise of preprint servers. 

I hope this report will serve to spark interest in MSK staff to take a few moments to explore a new resource, service, or call us to collaborate on a team project. If you want to learn more about the MSK Library or the services we provide, do not hesitate to contact me.

Library Report 2018-2019 Cover

I am delighted to present to our readers and library users our Library Report (13.15 MB), highlighting our activities for 2018 and 2019. This report is a celebration of our accomplishments over the last two years as we share information about our operations, services, usage metrics, and staff publications.

I think our user community and external colleagues will enjoy reading a few stories that illustrate our impact on the Center  — how we support the Ethics Committee and Evidence-based Cancer Imaging program, contributed to a new educational initiative, started the ground work for launching our Research Data Management Services, or provided a forum where we discussed scholarly communications topics by bringing journal editors and MSK authors together to share their publishing experiences.

Most of all, I hope this report will spark interest in MSK staff to take a few moments to explore a new resource, service, or call us to help support a team project. If you want to learn more about the MSK Library or the services we provide, don’t hesitate to contact me.
