Popular LIMS discussions in 2012 on Linkedin
Posted on November 6, 2012

Blog
and the two leading LIMS user groups on Linkedin are LIMS/LI (with over 4,000 members) and the LIMSforum ( with nearly 40,000 members). If you are a LIMS user or professional and are not yet a member of these groups you will want to visit these groups and check out the great discussions below. Some of these discussions have nearly 100 comments by user members!
As we near the end of 2012, I thought it would be good to identify the most popular discussions posted so far in 2012. I went through the group I run (LIMSforum) and selected the most popular discussions for this year and I asked Terry Iorns, the group owner of LIMS/LI, to do the same. There is very little overlap in the discussions between the 2 groups so you will want to be sure and visit both groups.
The following table provides links to those popular discussions that Terry and I found in each of our groups. These discussions are still open and we invite you to jump into those discussions or start your own. The members in these groups are friendly and very helpful and welcome the chance to answer questions from end users. Don’t be shy, all questions and comments are warmly welcomed.
