More and more researchers are making use of freely available and web-based bibliographic management and collaboration tools such as Mendeley and Zotero. In this session we will introduce the features of Mendeley, a popular freely available package, and shall discuss what may attract researchers to Mendeley in favour of licensed resources such as EndNote. The session will include a hands-on exploration of Mendeley.

By the end of the session you will:

  • Understand what Mendeley is and what it can do.
  • Understand the strengths and weaknesses of Mendeley in relation to licensed packages such as EndNote
  • Have had a practical exploration of Mendeley
