Our thoughts go out to everyone in the affected areas in Texas and Louisiana by Hurricane Harvey. During the month of September the Mount Sinai Health System Library team would like to invite any #librarians or information professionals affected by #Harvey to send us your basic reference inquiries. They can be your own or from a patron – if you have limited access to your library’s resources, we are here to help. While we cannot provide access to our online resources or collections, we can work to connect you with online resources or other helpful information.

You can reach us via refdesk@mssm.edu or @Levy_Library on Twitter
