Supporting the Researcher Workflow through User- Centered Design #SLA2012
This is a presentation delivered to the Special Libraries Conference on how Mendeley's focus on user-experience allows it to fit the researcher workflow.
about such a great tool? @litreviewhq I haven't heard of Mendeley but it could be exactly what I'm looking for... Thanks! @enkerli I *love* Mendeley. It's the best thing that has happened to reference management since EndNote Just fyi, Mendeley is pretty awesome on searching research: http://t.co/l0VoRGU @AmandaMichelle I love Mendeley: love the web importer, use it across devices (phone/ipad), and to share readings w/advisors, etc. #phdchat I friggin' LOVE Mendeley!! http://amplicate.com/love/mendeley
but the tools and the data aren’t. Databases have incomplete metadata, incompatible licenses prevent remixing and sharing necessary for new insights. Capture the latent info in their process!
Add existing EndNote/BibTeX/RIS databases l Sync with other reference management webapps l Use Mendeley Web Importer to add from online databases l Add from the Mendeley Research Catalog http://www.mendeley.com/blog/tipstricks/7-ways-to-add-documents-to-mendeley/
notes and edit document details Library showing all your documents (citation or table view) Filter your papers by authors, keywords, tags, or publications Step 2: Organization in Mendeley Desktop
Expensive tools may be overkill for just collecting papers and inserting citations Beholden to their existing base, can’t innovate Tools of scholarship should be in the hands of scholars
