So, Today it was my goal to learn how to use Mendeley . I am not a very computer savvy person so just having to download this program to the computer was stressful enough. I always feel like I am going to do something wrong to the computer (it is my daughters laptop).
So, I downloaded Mendely and it seems like a very interesting program. The program has a " Getting started with Mendeley" That goes over how Mendely works. To the right of the screen it shows that this particular document "Getting started with Mendeley" is a PDF file that was uploaded in this program. The same way, many other documents can be uploaded, read, and stored in one place. The Medeley program allows the user to read an abstract of the article, tags, keywords, the city, publisher, type of works, URL and it also offers a catalog ID.
The PDF offers information on how to add PDF's to Medeley. It's as easy as clicking the add document button on the left on the toolbar. Next it explains how to import/export EndNotes. I found that a bit difficult, but I guess if you don't play around with it you won't get the hang of it.
Mendely also offers Google Scholar Search. Just by looking up the document details with Google scholar in Mendely, it will find it!
As I said, It will take time to get a hand of it. For a person that does extensive research I believe that it is a great tool to know how to use.
Now my thoughts on 750words.com. I love it!! So far I am at 275 words. What that shows me is that it takes a lot of work to get up to 750words. It means commitment which in turn will produce a positive outcome (A research Paper). (307 words)

Fantastic! I look forward to hearing more about how you're using Mendeley to store/find/cite materials. That's wonderful news about 750words too. Keep up the good work.
