[Asis-l] Info about workshops on Mendeley and request for input about it

[Hope Leman]

Hi, all. I learned yesterday of the workshop below on Monday, Sept 19th 2011 and just thought I would pass it along given that there may be still some of us that are not familiar with Mendeley and are missing opportunities to a) manage our own lives as librarian researchers better and b) help our patrons by showing them how to harness a really cool tool to become incredibly efficient researchers.

And I would be really grateful, too, to hear stories from those who are already Mendeley whizzes and swear by it (or from those who tried it and didn't like it). I don't know enough about it and hear so much about it and so feel out of it and would appreciate input.

Here is the post about the session for professors:

A bit on what it covers:

•       What Mendeley is (and what it’s not)
•       Writing grants & papers with Mendeley
•       How Mendeley works with your existing information systems
•       Organizing, sharing, and discovering research with Mendeley
•       Mendeley’s role in the future of research

Here are the links for the librarian sessions—coming up fast--2011-09-29:

Thank you for the help.
