Johns Hopkins University (JHU)

For those interested in medicine, the JHU PodMed Group (http://www.mendeley.com/groups/1407293/johns-hopkins-university-podmed/) has a bonus episode this month for the International Headlines. Listen to Michael Klag, the Dean of the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins, discussing some of the international medical headlines including a series of articles on drugs from The Lancet and the controversial case of publishing information about how to make the H1N1 flu virus more virulent.

Johns Hopkins PodMed, a weekly podcast looking at the top medical stories of the week for people who want to become informed participants in their own health care, is using Mendeley to collate the references to journal articles and papers they discuss on a weekly basis.

We'd invite you to join us all online in the Mendeley group for the papers: http://www.mendeley.com/groups/1407293/johns-hopkins-university-podmed/

You can also find us and join the conversation at the following:

The Sheridan Libraries have recently done some "Library Shop" presentations which include using Mendeley. Be sure to take advantage of some of their other upcoming research related workshops. You can find dates and times on their blog at: http://blogs.library.jhu.edu/wordpress/?p=11950

Mendeley users at JHU. My name is Nathan Boland, I started this group when I was a Ph.D. student - note the past tense (yay!). Now that I have moved on, it is time to transfer ownership of this group to someone who is still at JHU.

If you are interested, please contact me. It would make sense for this owner to be (or become) a Mendeley advisor (with all the rights and privileges therein - http://www.mendeley.com/blog/community-relations/become-a-mendeley-university-advisor/).

You've got the reference, now get the actual paper itself!
The Sheridan Libraries at Hopkins support the LibX browser add-on currently available for Firefox and IE (Google Chrome support is coming soon). You can get the add-on at http://www.library.jhu.edu/services/beta/libx.htmlv /> The add-on will allow you to easily and automatically find the physical source for the references in your Mendeley Library or do library based searches on related keywords, authors and topics. An excellent and brief overview was recently published by the Chronicle of Higher Education:
http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/your-research-variable-solved-libx/35811 /> Mendeley will help you suck in all the references you'd like to read; LibX will help you collect all those sources to actually read and analyze them.

Hello, I am trying to find a citation style for "Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics". As of now, it I dont think that it is part of Mendeley library of citations. I found one online: https://gist.github.com/999240 but I cannot get it to work. Can someone check it and see if they are able to load it into Mendeley? I want to find out if the problem that I am experiencing is in the citation file (csl) or in my setup of Mendeley.
Thanks

Mendely is no longer in Beta! Today Version 1.0 was released (you will be asked if you want to upgrade the next time you log into Mendely Desktop). New to v1.0 - a de-Duplication tool, nesting in Library Folders, Mendeley remembers your last position in a pdf and other improvements. See the related article in the Chronicle of Higher Education - http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/mendeley-achieves-version-1-0/34955
