Hi to all,
I would like to recommend if it is possible to have a complete thread about analytical lab management or lab management.
So, it would be very helpful to those people working in labs as well as those managing labs.
I tried my best looking for a unique source of information related to that but i could not,,,
If any could give me or guide me to any link, site, books otherwise i still recommend to have our own site or resource.
last not least, looking forward your response and actions
regards,
Alchemist

There is also a monthly journal called "Laboratory manager" that can be of interest to you.
I also moved the topic to "Around the Water cooler"

I also recommend that you check out the following web site for examples on how NOT to manage.

Thanx everybody..
I do agree with all what have been said,
My point was is to have a reliable source and unique for those people managing an working in labs.
The site or the thread of lab management should concentrate on differenet issues, such as management point of view, lab design, manpower, LIMS, chemicals control, managing equipment, suggestions and etc..
What i am thinking of right now is that we are from different type of jobs' backgrounds working in different laboratories, why not to share knowledge, expereince, practices or anything tha could be shared to add value either to your organization or ur self.
last not least, still looking forward for a serious move toward this vision and all the coorporations are needed.

Sorry for the late post, I couldn't find the reference I was looking for until now.
The organization I was trying to remember is ALMA, the Association of Lab Managers. Here is there website:
http://www.labmanagers.org/home/index.shtml
I am not a member, but I have gotten useful information from their website in the past.
