Abstract

This chapter discusses the Mendeley desktop application as a digital library in the hands of researchers, scientists, and scholars. The chapter presented an overview of a digital library and used the features of Mendeley to justify it as a digital library for researchers, scientists, and scholars. The chapter provided an extensive guide on how to work with the Mendeley Application to perform various tasks. The importance of the application was also discussed, while it was also compared with a traditional library. This chapter should enable anyone without prior of Mendeley to effectively utilise it as a digital library.
