Information services provider Swets, Netherlands, and Mendeley, creators of the online reference management and academic social networking tool, have announced the launch of Mendeley Institutional Edition powered by Swets.
Building on the existing Mendeley functionalities, this multi-device solution provides librarians and institutions with a means to connect their collection directly to researchers and end users; support researchers within their own workflow; and create pathways for collaboration and interaction among students, professors and their peers; monitor, support and facilitate the research undertaken within their institution; and showcase the value of their institution to potential students and research staff.
With over 1.4 million active users Mendeley has established itself as a must-have research tool among academic students, professors and researchers around the globe. It claims to contain the world's largest crowd-sourced information library, with over 145 million documents. Although the software has opened up new pathways for collaboration and interaction between individual students and researchers in similar fields around the world, those researchers could still benefit from the knowledge, guidance and expertise of the traditional library. Mendeley Institutional Edition powered by Swets addresses this need, providing a unique operating place within the Mendeley platform from which librarians can guide, support and facilitate the research undertaken across their institution.
A free demonstration of the premium version of Mendeley Institutional Edition powered by Swets can be requested at www.swets.com/mendeley.
