Hello, Sue Wainscott here.
This guide page now contains the materials and information I would normally share in a series of in-person workshops about the Mendeley.com citation manager software tool. On each of the guide tabs, there is a copy of the workshop powerpoint slide deck that I use in these workshops, as well as a series of tutorials, videos, and other information that attempts to replicate what I share in those workshops. A new workshop has also been added - Mendeley Advanced, Modifying Citation Styles. Jongyun Jung, from the Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine, has prepared a demonstration lecture and slides for this new material.
Please use these materials to set up your Mendeley.com account and set up your library and personal profile. By reviewing and completing these tasks, you will hopefully learn as much as your colleagues who attended earlier in-person workshops.
UNLV folks may also register for a set of drop-in WebEx meetings where I will be available to answer your questions. They are scheduled throughout April 2020. Please register by emailing me at sue.wainscott@unlv.edu from your UNLV email account.
Once I verify that you have a UNLV email account, I can add your Mendeley account to the UNLV Institutional Edition group. This will provide you more file storage and an increase in the number of groups you can create and join.
Anyone is welcome to email me with questions about the Mendeley software tool at any time, and I'll do my best to get you the answers/information you seek. -Sue
