PLEASE NOTE: If you have installed the Mendeley Desktop application and Word plug-in on your computer, these are no longer supported.
It is recommended that you first uninstall the Word plug-in (from the Tools menu in Mendeley Desktop) and then uninstall Mendeley Desktop.
To continue using Mendeley in Microsoft Word, download the Mendeley Cite add-in.
You can view and edit your library from either Mendeley.com or the Reference Manager. Please contact John Garrison with any questions.
Mendeley is a great way for you to keep track of the citations you get for this project (and any other assignments that come along!). You can also use the quick-cite tools available in WISE, our other library databases, and the general web.
However - even if you use these tools (which we recommend) - make sure that the citations in your paper/presentation are formatted accurately!
We recommend double-checking your citations using the Purdue OWL site - Purdue's Online Writing Lab is the nation's most widely used and trusted source for citation guidelines!
Follow these steps to get started with Mendeley citation management:
1. Go to Mendeley.com and Create a Free Account. (please make sure to use your @westminster.edu email address for your account)
2. When you login with your new account, you will be able to view and edit your Library of citations from this page, or download an app to your computer called Reference Manager to use your Library.
** Please note: As long as you have an internet connection, changes made to your Library will sync between the Library in your browser and the Library in Reference Manager.
