Mendeley

Guide to Mendeley, a free citation management tool.

Creating Citations from other webpages

Although Mendeley cannot automatically capture citation information from most web pages, you can still add web pages to your Mendeley library.

When you find a web page you would like to save to your library, open the Web Importer and click the check mark for the "Web Page" option:

Mendeley Web Importer on the ALA Website

 

 

Mendeley automatically captures a "snapshot" of the page. Taking a "snapshot" saves an .html file copy of the webpage as it appeared on the day you saved it to your library.
