2014 Biennial Conference on Chemical Education

Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) are becoming increasingly popular in laboratories representing all areas of science.  ELNs offer a number of potential advantages over traditional paper-bound notebooks, including better data sharing, data searching, and archiving capabilities.  While a recent review described 35 commercial ELNs currently on the market, some labs have successfully employed more generic software such as Google Docs, OneNote, or MediaWiki for ELN purposes. This symposium will allow presenters to share their experiences with ELNs in the teaching laboratory.
