Lab notebooks are used to document research, experiments
and procedures.

Electronic lab notebooks replicate traditional lab notebooks offering both
advantages to paper versions, but challenges as well.

Why?
• Researchers contacting WARF & DoIT• Interest expressed at lab notebook workshops• Labs & departments exploring ELNs
independently • ELNs could improve – record keeping– collaboration– data management

Project outline
• Determine needs• Determine requirements and feasibility • Identify participants • Identify ELN tools and plan pilots • Implement pilots • Evaluate pilots and provide recommendations
for next steps

Decision making
• Decision to proceed, reassess, or stop at each project milestone
• Executive committee– Sarah Castello (Grad School)– Irwin Goldman (CALS)– Steve Harsy (SMPH)– Jim Muehlenberg (DoIT – AT)

Current practice
• While using paper notebooks, many have digital workflows shoehorned into notebooks
• Digital data sets referenced in notebook• Back ups are rare• Searching requires knowing who and when • Consistency of practice within labs varies
greatly

Interest in ELNs
• Market research finds significant growth in ELN implementation
• ~50% of respondents to survey of Biotech Center Sequencing Core users express interest
• Interviews– Most noted significant digital workflows– Many would consider being part of a pilot– Represents the future of data recording

Where are we?
• Establishing requirements• Surveying available products• Select products for testing
• Pilot groups • Evaluate pilots • Make recommendations

Other considerations
• Primary audience are traditional LN users– However, we will consider wider utility
• We are exploring commercial products– We could find no viable open source candidates
• Products hosted off-site as SaaS
