Mendeley is a free tool allowing you to collect, manage, share and use references you find in the course of your research. You can run Mendeley on your computer or laptop, or as an app on your phone of tablet.
It is one of the two officially supporting referencing management tools at Staffs and Mendeley Desktop is installed on all student and staff PCs. The website version - Mendeley Web - is where you can access your library online, edit your profile and search for papers, groups or people.
