CIT's and the Library's desire to pilot Digital Lab Notebooks for courses (and research labs).
June 2015, snap-shot view
Compiled by Oliver, ChemiIT.
To learn more about Cornell's relevant service (using Lab Archives), please contact Donna Taber, and she can initially be reached at CIT's Academic Technologies Support <atc_support@cornell.edu>. She can arrange a demo/discussion meeting, for example.
More information available here:
Note that there are two versions. The "regular" one for chemistry research (the Pro version) and one for teaching labs (the Classroom Edition).
I welcome you letting me know of any positive or negative outcomes from your investigation so I can share with others as appropriate. Also, let Will Dichtel, as Chair of the Computing Cmt, know of your interest.
If interested in the teaching labs context, please contact Dan Lorey.
N.B. John Marohn has set up his own solution.

CIT's solicitation (Jan 18, 2013) :
We are getting a pilot program underway for the use of electronic lab notebooks, using the LabArchives software (http://labarchives.com). I am looking for classes from chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering to participate, so that we get an idea of how well it works in these different disciplines. Do you know of any instructors in the Chemistry department who might be interested? We have a small web site that explains the pilot at http://blogs.cornell.edu/eln. Please feel free to forward this along to anyone you think might be interested.
CIT's solicitation (early Jan 2013):
Our team has worked on some requests from faculty about using Digital Lab Notebooks for their courses. We've researched and supported some small solutions, and have recently looked at some software solutions that may fit this need. (LabArchvies http://www.labarchives.com/ )
We have been collaborating with the library in responding to these requests, and are now looking at developing a campus pilot.
Since the software is designed not just fort instruction but also lab work, we wanted to reach out to you and see if you would be interested in collaborating on the not?
CIT's focus: Courses (Academic Technologies, Clare van den Blink <cv36>)
Library's focus: Research (Wendy Kozlowski <wak57>)
