What problem does an electronic lab notebook solve?
“We generate a wide diversity of types of data sets. The challenge is coordinating those types of data sets that fit together, keeping
them contained within projects, because the data sets are derived from different people within the lab.”
“We have a large number of people coming in and out of the lab, the challenge is keeping track of that data and integrating it in with
data from existing projects”

Why use an electronic lab notebook ?
“We use eCAT as a cataloguing and archiving retrieval
system. We can keep catalogues of resources and protocols up to date and exchange that very effectively
between lab members”
