Mendeley also intends to facilitate social networking, collaboration and sharing information within research networks ( Giustini 2010 Reiswig 2010). Mendeley was born in 2008, with an idea of helping researchers organize their work locally on a freely-downloaded client that is easy to use ( Mendeley 2010). With a name sounding like the great Russian chemist - Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev who is credited as being the creator of the first version of the periodic table of elements ( Gordin 2004) or maybe Mendele Mocher Sforim (Mendele the book peddler), one of my favorite authors and one of the founders of modern Yiddish and Hebrew literature ( Steinberg 1977), Mendeley can extract metadata, full text and cited references from the actual papers in PDF format, so it is an ultimate answer for a student with a pack of electronic PDF articles handed to her by her supervisor. Meet Mendeley, a new web service that allows academics to organize their research free-of-charge online (for now, at least) and store documents in PDF format.

If your institution subscribes to RefWorks or EndNote, your answer is usually: 'No, I am sorry, you have to re-find each of these citations and upload them to the bibliographic software.' Well, not anymore. She asks whether she can use RefWorks or EndNote to load all of these articles at once. A graduate student comes to you and says that she has a load of articles in PDF format forwarded by her supervisor and lab co-workers. Electronic Resources Reviews and Reports Mendeley Eugene Barsky
