Kendra Godwin's Profile Page: Profile - Kendra Godwin, Reference Services

As a Research Informationist I support Memorial Sloan Kettering's mission with expertise in advanced search techniques, evidence-based practice, research support, and education.

My role involves being the Liaison for Interventional Radiology (providing support for searches, research projects, current awareness, and training), a member of the Systematic Review Service (assisting teams with all stages of evidence synthesis, from crafting a research question to collecting data to publishing), and a part of library leadership special projects and marketing efforts.

Happy to chat about projects or ways I can be of help!

I'm generally available 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday.

Reach out via Teams, email, or (646) 823-6143 to schedule an appointment for a research consultation, search strategy guidance, or collaborative projects.
