MyLabBook is a free and open source electronic lab notebook (ELN) built on on the WordPress CMS. The basic installation provides capabilities for collecting, displaying and sorting data with a sample data set and can be modified for different experiments. It can easily accommodate hundreds of users with a role based permission system. This makes it appropriate for classroom situations especially but can also accommodate individual researchers or research teams.
Being built on WordPress also means that thousands of additional free and open source as well as reasonably priced commercial plugins can be used to enhance its capabilities. This approach is based on over a decade's experience with the biotech program at the University of Houston and from being utilized at other universities with an NSF funded project. We continue to evolve its capabilities and ease of use.
Note that the screenshots are based on the use of some relatively inexpensive commercial plugins.
