| Abstract | Through a study of field biology practices, we observed that biology fieldwork generates a wealth of qualitative and quantitative information requiring substantial labor to coordinate and distill. Biologists rely on their notebooks as the primary record of observations, plans, measurements, and results. These observations motivated ButterflyNet, a system that integrates paper notes with information explicitly captured and ambiently available in field sites: digital photographs, sensor network data, and GPS. Through ButterflyNet, the activity of leafing through a notebook expands to browsing all synchronously created media. ButterflyNetıs integrated interactions facilitate the transfer of notebook content to spreadsheets and maintain data lineage. It also enables biologists to share their work with other members of their lab. A first-use study with 14 biologists found this system to offer richer capture with minimal overhead, in a manner felicitous with current practice. | ||
