Almost all of the e-journals and databases that the library makes available online have restrictions on use and access, that are specified in the licensing agreements signed by the library and respective publishers and vendors. Access is restricted to faculty, students, staff, employees, and other authorized users. Alumni have not been included as authorized users for remote access. Alumni onsite at the library have access to these resources, as they are all licensed for onsite use.

Alumni of the Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) and the Graduate School of Medical Sciences (WCGSMS) are eligible for borrowing privileges at the library.

Alumni of the Medical College must present their alumni card at the Circulation Desk to register for borrowing privileges. Alumni cards are available through the Office of Alumni Relations: (646) 317-7419. Once you have completed the registration process, your alumni card will be barcoded and also serve as a library card. It must be presented to staff each time you enter the library, and at the Circulation Desk each time you wish to borrow material. Please have it with you whenever you come.

Alumni of the Graduate School must present a letter of verification from the Graduate School Office: (212) 746-6565, to library staff at the Circulation Desk. A separate library card will be issued to eligible alumni at that time. This card must then be presented to staff each time you enter the library, and at the Circulation Desk each time you wish to borrow material. Please have it with you whenever you come to the Library.

Please note that alumni privileges do not include Interlibrary Services, TripSaver Requests, off-site access, or access to any of our affiliated institutions.

Students, staff and faculty members - of the Weill Cornell Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, Hospital for Special Surgery, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Rockefeller University - can submit up to six photographs or slides for the Medical Complex Art Show. An annual "Call for Art" is issued in early fall. Individuals not affiliated with these institutions, but who are members of a local art group, are welcome to contact the library about the possibility of a show. Additional information can be found in the Library Art Show Guidelines. If you have further questions, please email infodesk@med.cornell.edu. General information about the artwork in the library can be found here.

The Weill Cornell Medical Library curates three art shows per year, beginning in the fall with the Medical Complex Art Show. This show displays the works of faculty, staff and students of the Weill Cornell Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, Hospital for Special Surgery, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Rockefeller University. Works from members of local art groups are featured in the winter, spring and summer shows. For information about library art shows, please visit Art in the Library.

The library's annual reports are available within Annual Reports and Publications.

For the purpose of completing grant applications, the library keeps a record of collection statistics.

The library needs to recover costs for paper, toner, and maintenance of its printers. Charging for printing also reduces paper wastage.

We will be happy to refund your PaperCut account for any bad copies made due to printer malfunction. Please bring the bad copies to the SmartDesk, and we will reimburse you by adding value to your account.

We regret that cash refunds cannot be given under any circumstance, even if you are leaving the institution, so please keep this in mind when putting money into your PaperCut account.

Add cash value by using the Add Value Station in the Library Commons. The Add Value Station accepts $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills. They do not make change.

We regret that cash refunds cannot be given under any circumstance, even if you are leaving the institution, so please keep this in mind when putting money into your PaperCut account.
