	'''MyLabBook''' is a "free low-code" open-source [[electronic laboratory notebook]] (ELN) built on ~~PHP and the~~ [[Drupal]] ~~content management system~~ (~~CMS~~).		'''MyLabBook''' was previously a "free low-code" open-source [[electronic laboratory notebook]] (ELN) built on [[Drupal]].

			<blockquote>MyLabBook is a community website for exploring how to build a good Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) using the open source content management system called Drupal. Our hypothesis is that by utilizing appropriate Drupal modules, an inexpensive and appropriate ELN can be built for many contexts. This exploration is being developed in conjunction with the University of Houston's biotechnology program.<br /> <br />Because Drupal is free and open source and nearly all of its modules are as well, Drupal provides an inexpensive path to building an ELN. It is also relatively easy to set up and is flexible through using appropriate modules from the thousands that are available on the Drupal website. You can also write your own custom modules fairly easily.</blockquote>
