Lab notebooks are a very important part of your responsibility in industry.  A well-kept notebook may save your job, or even keep you out of jail!

The notebook serves a number of important functions in a company.  Personnel and projects change frequently, so another may finish a project begun by one group with a significant hiatus between the two efforts.  The notebook helps the second group to avoid starting from zero and reinventing the wheel.  Lab notebooks also serve an important legal function.  For patent purposes, discoveries should be carefully recorded in a dated, witnessed notebook.  Lab notebooks are frequently featured pieces of evidence in civil lawsuits and even in criminal liability trials.
