Hey all,
I'm just curious. I work in a medical library which supports a hospital, but also a small branch of the university, including 4-6th year med students, postgrad health students, and radiation therapy students. We have been teaching Endnote and Mendeley - it lookslike the university has recently bought Refworks so we'll (ugh) have to teach that too.
With the worry that Mendeley may (or may not) be purchased by a larger organisation such as Elsevier, we are worried about teaching students and staff to use a system which they may find themselves being forced to pay for, or change systems. As a result we are not promoting mendeley until we can be sure of the future. I just wanted to know what others are doing given the situation?

Should also add that if you are interested there is a Mendeley Users Network on NHS Networks at [ http://www.networks.nhs.uk/nhs-networks/mendeley-users ].
Just playing with the Group facility. In case you don't know you have to add papers to your own Library, add Tags if you want to then add them to the group.
