Re: [Phys-L] query: digital lab notebooks

This is why there is a “market” for bio-medical illustrators.

Furthermore, as reported by a few, using more than one “input" is an aid to memory and learning.

bc thinks, in more than one way, computers are a step backwards, and he apologizes for his capitalist and computational word use.

p.s. UCSC has such an illustrator course.

It isn't very tedious to scan a document into a pdf file or whatever. Then it is easy to put into the document. I've considered doing this for my labs but haven't worked out the mechanics yet. May never have them worked out.

Look at the AAPT Summer meeting program. There are several talks on electronic notebooks. I would contact the presenters.
