Noreen Reale Falcone Library: Mendeley: Mendeley Groups

Group Collaboration

Mendeley Groups are ideal for collaboration. There are three types of groups in Mendeley:

Private – can share references and full-text files. Only group members can see the group. Private groups are ideal for class groups. Note: only logins created using @lemoyne.edu email addresses can create private groups.
Invite only – can share references only. The public can only follow the group. This is good for sharing references or reading lists with colleagues or students.
Open – can share references only. The public can become a member or follow the group. This option is useful for crowd sourcing reading lists.

Using Mendeley Groups
Mendeley’s Groups offers opportunities for collaboration and discovery. Groups allow you to create and join teams of like-minded people. Whether you're joining colleagues working on a specific project, a professor wanting to distribute a reading list to a class or looking to join a worldwide discussion on a particular discipline, Mendeley Groups can help you achieve your goals.
Mendeley Private groups
Private groups allow you to share the full text of PDF documents you add to the group. This allows other group members to look at exactly the same materials as you - which is very useful when working together on a project. Mendeley Desktop allows you to work directly on papers simultaneously with your collaborators.
