Setting Up A Library

References and Documents


Select a file or folder to add from your computerWatch a folder Add reference bymanually entering details

Import from another referencemanager, or BibTeX

Adding Documents


Mendeley also offers a number of other options for adding material to your library. You can find these by opening the File menu.

You can choose to add individual files, or the contents of an entire folder by browsing to the relevant location on your computer.

You can opt to watch a folder - which will mean that Mendeley monitors that location for any new items being dropped into the folder. If it finds a new document, that document will be automatically added to your Mendeley library.

You can also easily import a library from other reference managers, so if youve tried out EndNote, Reworks or another solution and found them not to your liking, you can carry across your library to Mendeley easily.

You also have the option to create a reference manually - which will allow you to complete a number of fields by hand.

Mendeley Web Importer

Mendeley Research Catalog

Adding Documents


Mendeley makes it easy for you to continue building your library.

The Web Importer is a bookmarklet that you can add to your web browser. When you click on this item in your browsers favorites, the Web Importer will attempt to detect references on the page youre viewing and ask if you want to add them to your library. You can also use it to add web pages to your library. Ill show you the Web Importer in more detail shortly.

Mendeley also operates a Research Catalog - the largest crowd-sourced collections of Papers available online. You can search the online catalog to identify references you want in your library, and add them with just a few clicks.

Certain online catalogs, such as ScienceDirect - pictured here - allow you to export references directly to Mendeley. Look out for the Export button on pages like this.

Other catalogs will allow you to export in file formats such as RIS, which can then be added to Mendeley using the File menu.

Sync


Syncing is a core concept in Mendeley. Whenever you make changes in Mendeley, youll need to sync in order to push those changes up into cloud storage. Syncing will also pull down any changes made on other devices. Its a good idea to sync regularly to ensure that your documents and annotations are saved in the cloud.

You can sync at any time by using the sync button. Mendeley will also sync automatically each time you open it.
