Hello Cindy,

Although everything can be destroyed, everybody in my group has to scribble
everithing done during an experiment in her/his own serially numbered
hard-bound notebook of large format, with a set of strict rules of how to
correlate with external documents (spectra, photographs, etc.) and each
individual body of material. In long years we found that at the beginning
everybody pesters about the system but after a while, when materials and
documents accumulate, it becomes a blessig. If somebody wants to keep
electronic records, it's up to that person, but there's no dispensation for
the log books.

All the best,

Jacob
