  2. What does Mendeley do? • Imports references from your computer, flash drive or the internet • Extracts citation info from added pdfs (really well but not perfectly!) • Keeps all your references organized in one place; backs them up, let’s you make notes on them • Generates citations and bibliographies when you are writing a paper • Enables 2-15 colleagues with similar interests to share & read one another’s references (private groups) • Enables you to network/join groups of people from all over the world who share common interests; share citations and abstracts (public groups)
