Mendeley Web Layout

The web version of Mendeley allows access to the networking features available in Mendeley as well as your library. When you log on to Mendeley in your web browser, the first page you come to will be Mendeley's search function. This allows you to search within Mendeley's own database of articles for an easy way to add references to your library.
