There are two ways to import references directly from a database into Mendeley - through Web Importer or by importing references with .ris, .xml, or .bib files.
It is important to note that PDFs can be attached automatically when importing references with Web Importer, whereas PDFs cannot be attached when importing references using .ris, .xml, or .bib files. If using this option, you will need to manually attach PDFs to the references after importing them.
This video demonstrates how to import references in Mendeley.
1. Access a database from the Libraries' A-Z Database page and perform your search.
2. Click the Mendeley icon in your bookmarks bar to open Web Importer
3. Click the check boxes beside each article you would like to import into your library and then hit "Save"
