Work In Progress:
From Manuscript to Digital: Re-mediating the traditional field notebook
Qualitative research in the form of field observations, interviews, and online questionnaires to examine faculty and student
geologists' use of electronic writing technologies to record field notes. Research questions include: How does the document
life cycle of a geology field notebook change when note-taking practices change from manuscript/paper form to digital/pc tablet
form? Does the use of electronic field notebooks (1) reduce errors in data collected; (2) encourage/increase collaboration
and sharing of raw field data; (3) result in greater connectivity among other electronic field devices; (4) extend the active
life cycle of field notes; (5) amplify retrieval and dissemination of field observations?
