Hello everyone,
I have received an enquiry from a former colleague who is moving her lab to another university. She is wondering what to do with old lab notebooks.
We don’t have a policy for this at the University of Cambridge, but does anyone else, either formally or informally?
I assume the data referred to in the notebooks would have been published/made available in some way by now. If she wants to keep them I suppose she could scan them and then dispose of the hard copies, but this would take a lot of time and
effort.
With thanks and best wishes,
Clair
