Where should I save my spectra?
You have several options for saving spectra; you may choose to use
more than one.

you want to record, use a report notebook.

You can also place spectra in descriptively named user libraries that
you create. Keeping spectra in libraries allows you to find them by
searching for text contained in the information saved with the
spectra.

Note
When you add a spectrum to user library whose resolution is lower,
the spectrum is deresolved. For this reason it may be better in some
cases to save your sample spectra as files on the hard disk and
consider the copies of them added to a user library to be for
searching purposes only.

We recommend that you create descriptively named folders
(directories) on your hard disk for different categories of spectra. For
example, you could have a folder for each project you are working
on, for each of your clients, for each laboratory application, or for
each sample type. See your Windows documentation for information
about creating directories. You can specify which folder to use when
you use Save or Save As in the File menu to save spectra. This will
make it easier to find a spectrum in a particular category when you
