Course Description
| This course will address the business, functional, legal and regulatory issues associated with emerging ELN technologies, and will identify best practice in implementation and user acceptance issues. It will enable you to understand the traditional roles and functions of laboratory notebooks and why paper notebooks are becoming obsolete. It will also cover the benefits and consequences of the transition from paper to electronic notebooks. You will learn about the current ELN/Informatics market and how convergence in this space is driving the emergence of next generation tools for laboratory information management.
