Mendeley

Mendeley can import PDF files with metadata.  The file must contain a DOI in the first two pages

Simply drag & drop files or folders into the open Mendeley window

Recently added files can be found in the “Recently Added” folder in the left hand pane

Note: Scanned pdfs supplied by the CSIRO Document Delivery Service do not have the metadata required to provide a detailed record when imported into Mendeley

A Watch Folder allows you to automatically add new documents to your Mendeley library. Simply drop PDFs into the folder and Mendeley will import them automatically for you.

To set up a Watch Folder:

Select the 'Watch Folder' option from the add files dropdown menu on the main toolbar and browse to the folder containing the documents you're interested in.

• Mendeley will add each document to your library, scanning each one for useful details such as title, author and journal.
• Any subsequent documents added to the folder will automatically be added to Mendeley.

1. From the Results page in Discovery, select Details > Actions > Export RIS

2.  Import the saved file using File > Import > RIS - Research Information Systems (*.ris)

You just need to be viewing an article or a list of references in the browser. This can mean that you're looking at an actual PDF file, an article entry in an online catalog, or even a list of search results. The Mendeley Web Importer will scan the page for metadata, and provide you with a list of the results it finds.

Chrome:

• Install the Mendeley Web Importer browser extension
• To begin the import process, click on the red Mendeley button next to the address bar in Chrome
• Depending on the number of results the Importer finds, you'll be provided with a list of different items, or specific details of a single item. You can then review the details, and even make manual corrections within the Importer itself, before choosing to add the references to your personal Mendeley library
