How can I find a Weill Cornell Medical College/Graduate School dissertation?
How can I find scientific images for my projects and presentations?
The library has compiled a guide to finding images on the web or in print. Many sites allow free use of the images for teaching and educational purposes, but you should always read the terms of use. Each site generally lists its own terms and conditions for use of its images.
How can I find an article from a recent issue of the New York Times?
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the library's subscription to the paper version of The New York Times was suspended until further notice. The library does not have a subscription to the NYT.com digital version. However, users can access full-text content of recent issues of The New York Times through several e-resources via the library's OneSearch.
How can I find a scale, test, or questionnaire I need to use in my research?
The library offers many resources you can use to search for this type of information. They are as follows:
In addition to information about obtaining tests, it is also possible to find summaries of a test, articles about a test, and sometimes the test itself reprinted in other publications. The American Psychological Association's FAQ: Finding Information About Psychological Tests may also be useful. However, the library cannot obtain working copies of tests to administer in research with subjects. Usually, such materials must be purchased from the publisher or obtained directly from the creator(s).
Please keep in mind copyright regulations when using these resources. More information about these regulations can be found on the Copyright Resources at Weill Cornell page.
How can I find the full name of journals when I only have title abbreviations?
When searching abbreviated journal titles, the Journal Browser feature of PubMed can help you. Simply type in the abbreviation from your list. The results will contain the full title, which you can then use to search the library's catalog, OneSearch. Please note: always use the full title of the journal when searching OneSearch. If you search the catalog for an abbreviation of a journal title, many times the only entry that will come up is one at Rockefeller's Library.
How can I find a list of articles on a particular topic or by a certain author?
To find a list of articles on a particular topic, search a bibliographic database such as PubMed. Bibliographic databases can be searched in many ways, including by author, keyword, and subject heading. PubMed is a great place to start, but the library has online bibliographic databases specific to many disciplines, including aging (AgeLine), alternative medicine (AMED), behavioral sciences (PsycINFO), chemistry (SciFinder), and nursing (CINAHL). The list of databases is available on the e-Resources page.

What if the library doesn't own the journal or book I want?
Staff, students or faculty with a current ID from NYP-WCMC, or anyone sponsored with full borrowing privileges, may request an interlibrary loan for journal articles, books or other materials not in our collection. You may submit requests online.
How can I get a copy of an article from a journal volume, which has a catalog status of "Repair"?
Please make this request at the circulation desk. A library assistant will ask you to fill out a form for repair items. The guaranteed turnaround time is 24 hours. A second assistant can also prepare a photocopy of the article for you. Check OneSearch for electronic versions or copies at Memorial Sloan Kettering or Rockefeller University Library. If no other copies are available, you can request the item through Interlibrary Loan.
