Mendely for Administrators

Administrators want their schools to be successful. They want students to learn new and exciting things, teachers to inspire that learning, and recognition for everyone's hard work. But it can be difficult finding the time and resources to help others see what's happening at their school. Mendeley can help administrators gather resources, get help writing, and share what they create.

When administrators sign up for a Mendeley account they can create a profile. This gives them the opportunity to share themselves, and the school, with almost two million other members. It also gives them opportunities to connect with other administrators who are eager to share the successes and challenges of their school.

Administrators can use Mendeley to import all their PDF documents, then highlight, annotate, and paste notes. They can also share documents with colleagues or teachers and students to look through a document together and make changes as a group.

After downloading the Mendeley desktop application and then importing documents, administrators can start 'syncing' all their work to the Mendeley cloud server. This means they can access all papers (with highlights, annotations, and notes) on any computer or mobile device with Internet access. So, continuing work at home or on the road while advocating for the school, is just a matter of having a device and Internet access. 

Mendeley has plenty of great resources for adminstrators to learn how to use the program, but also has tips for finding other people who share the same passion for school and administration, sharing work with the Mendeley world, and finding groups who connect around similar topics and ideas.
