How to create your lab notebook

To create a lab notebook entry:

  • Login
  • Select “+ NEW” and “Post”
  • Title your post “Su18 – Last, First Name”
  • Set post visibility to “Private”

We suggest that you draft your content off-line in a text file and then copy and paste into the on-line notebook so that you don’t lose any work if the internet connectivity goes down.

Your entire lab notebook for the semester will be recorded into this single post, so you’ll need to keep your content tightly organized to make it easy to navigate and interpret. Note that you can format sections headers using the menu bar (see image).

Headers and Formatting

To embed a video, first post your video to youtube as an unlisted video. Then copy the video’s link and paste it into your notebook entry.

Within 24 hours of lab, please create your notebook post and write a 1-2 sentence overview of a project you would like to complete.

Happy writing, and please come see us if you have questions!
