<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone had any experience with purging laboratory notebooks?&nbsp; Some might cringe at this question, as the general rule for most seems to be to keep those items in perpetuity, however it is something that has recently surfaced as our
 institution reviews storage usage and updates our retention policy.&nbsp; </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the event that labs depart from a research organization and were involved in areas that no longer support said organization’s mission, is it worth it to continue storing untouched file shares and notebooks, especially if the likelihood
 of anything arising from the data such as patents, etc., is quite low?&nbsp; In our case, if we proceed with such a thing, we would naturally continue to follow any outstanding obligations from funding agencies, etc.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Insight is greatly appreciated.&nbsp; One thought is to contact individuals and give them the option to have their notebooks shipped to them with a purge date specified.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you.</p>
