Lab Notebooks Moving to Single Sign-On This Weekend

LabArchives lab notebook software, which is currently being piloted by users at both the Ithaca and Weill Medical College campuses, will be upgraded on Sunday morning, April 4 to allow single sign-on (Shibboleth) capability.

Current users will need to link their existing LabArchives accounts with their Cornell NetID; instructions for doing this can be found at http://blogs.cornell.edu/eln/single-sign-on .

If you are interested in trying LabArchives but don’t have an account, it’s not too late! You can create an account at http://labarchives.com. The pilot, which is being conducted by Academic Technologies and the Cornell Library, will last through June, at which time a determination will be made as to whether to pursue a site license. For more information, email labnotebook-l@cornell.edu.
