I mean in the novels Iron Man knows Coulson's alive, Black Widow has worked with Quake and the Secret Warriors, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy is located in the Triskelion on Governors Island in New York Harbor, etc. :P The novels aren't canon to the actual MCU. They may be an alternate MCU, same goes with the video games (Whitney Frost being Madame Masque in the Iron Man games rather than an actress), and two or three of the comics, which have been deemed non-canonical.

The canon of the MCU is the movies, the tv shows, and the tie-in comics except for "Iron Man: The Price of Doing Business", "Captain America & Thor: Avengers!" (Thor's story only), "The Avengers: Cutting Edge", and "Avengers: Age of Ultron Episode 0".
