Abstract

Electronic lab notebooks (ELN ) are increasingly being adopted by research institutions to manage lab data organization, sharing, and preservation, and also for physical lab space efficiency. LabArchives, one popular ELN product, has been in use at Indiana University since 2019 and is supported by the Ruth Lilly Medical Library. To assess the impact of ELNs at IU since they have been introduced at IU, we analyzed LabArchives data monthly reports from the Spring 0f 2019-Fall 2022 using a Python script in order to develop new usage metrics to track. From these metrics, we identified recent “super users”. Then we reached out for their feedback on how ELNs are being used in practice. This feedback will inform future library training workshops and outreach to improve support for ELNs at IU.
