What is Mendeley?
Mendeley is both a desktop and a web-based citation management program that does many of the things that other programs do including:
- Allowing you to collect the citation details of articles, books, or websites you want to use in your research
- Inserting in-text citations and building bibliographies
- Organize your PDFs
- Annotation tools for commenting and highlighting PDFs
- Creating a collaborative space to work with others
- Discover articles through Mendeley's news and matching feeds

To take advantage of all that Mendeley offers, it is best to use both the desktop & web versions.
Mendeley also has some social networking features:
- Profile - set one up so people can know what you are doing & follow you. Follow other researchers. Set up a network of researchers working on similar topics.
- Suggest - find articles of interest that your colleagues are reading.
- Collections - create a collection of articles, make them public, and share.
