NoteBookMaker® is a totally secure and completely Virtual - Electronic Laboratory Notebook. The software replaces your traditional paper notebook with a modern system that protects your intellectual property and process. It even has a Virtual Librarian (VL) to take care of NoteBook Administration. Simply, copy-paste your data from any program on to a page. Use one notebook per author or many. You can even merge multiple notebooks into one notebook. You have total flexibility!
NoteBookMaker® has all the benefits of a database such as: searching, printing, emailing, importing and exporting, MS Office and Adobe Acrobat integration. And best of all, your data is nicely presented in a 8.5’’x11’’ notebook format. The software is used by scientists, engineers & many others who need a notebook system that has true document control. Simply Acquire your Personal Library Card from your System Administrator (your Librarian), Enter a User Name & Password in the Security Log, & Start generating legally defensible, 21 CFR Part 11 Compliant data. No IT support required! Low system overhead! We did our job so you can do yours!
NoteBookMaker® has several advantages over paper systems. Firstly, the ability to perform a search on one or many parameters to generate an intelligent found set. With this ability the scientist is able to correlate their findings with other colleges or past work. Secondly, NoteBookMaker standardizes the look and feel of all data via structured forms, type set. Penmanship and spelling issues via hand written documents are reduced to zero. Other advantages include collaborative sharing and data mining. Remote access becomes feasible with the electronic laboratory notebook. The researcher can have access to their data, security permitting, whether they are in the laboratory, in their office, at a seminar, or working out of the house. The notebook, in essence, becomes global. Further, Notebooks will no longer be subject to being lost, misplaced or even destroyed as data is automatically backed up, & redundantly archived.
NoteBookMaker® incorporates the popular database FileMaker Pro® as its design program. When our developers were looking for a commercial database to write a notebook solution, FileMaker Pro was the clear choice. FileMaker Pro®, (www.Filemaker.com), is a well-established, powerful, object orientated database that is compatible with both Mac & PC computer platforms. Support for XML, ODBC and JDBC is maintained without compromising the ease of use. Reliability, stability, user-friendliness, and ease of implementation are some of the key factors why this database application has recently passed the 8.5 million copies shipped. In fact, based on 2001 FileMaker data, and universities ranking by U.S. News & World Report, April, 2001, sixty of the Fortune 100 companies have volume license relationships with FileMaker, as do 47 of the top 50 universities in the U.S. The enhanced virtual experience of FileMaker Pro® with its robust scripting abilities, low IT overhead, full relational model, and high end web tools, keep NoteBookMaker® on the scientific edge.
