The market for electronic lab notebooks (ELN) is diverse and sometimes confusing. Keeping an overview is not easy for researchers and people involved in research data management. A powerful tool to support the selection of suitable software or services for one's own lab or the entire institution has not been available until now. Neither on a national nor on an international level was there a continuously maintained and as complete as possible overview containing detailed information on the individual products. This gap has now been closed by the ELN Finder web service from ZB MED - Information Centre for Life Sciences and the University and State Library (ULB) Darmstadt.
