I was looking at it as an alternative to EndNote - we have developed very extensive support for EndNote over the years but I've been aware of all the free alternatives and thought it was time to find out more. I must say I'm quite impressed with my first experience of this tool. It works as a web tool and also as a desktop application and both sync together, so it's very easy to see info wherever you are. I loved the way it harvested pdfs from my desktop and plonked them into a folder for me! I shall use it to share some of my databases of references once I have them all updated.
I have used Mendeley for over a year and view it as a great open source multi platform alternative to EndNote.
ReplyDeleteI use Mac and Linux but my colleagues use Windows.
I use OpenOffice and they use Word.
With Mendeley we are able to collaborate well.
Now I need to see how to integrate the Newcastle Uni library into my Mendeley account, it seems to want something called Open URL..
