Library Organization
Keep your library organized and quickly find the
references you need.
Save time when looking for references by organizing
them into Collections and using the search tool in your
Mendeley library:
A. Organize your references
Use Mendeley’s smart collections or create your own
custom collections of references to keep your research
interests separate.
B. Search your references
Enter a search term into the search field and Mendeley
will return the appropriate results. Mendeley searches
by author, title, year and source.
The search button is on the far upper right part of the screen.
