You can use Google Scholar to import resources into your Mendeley library. In order to do that, follow these steps:
- Go to Google Scholar by typing https://scholar.google.co.za/ in your Chrome browser
- Type a keyword or keywords into the search bar
- Click on search
- Click on the Mendeley image top of browser
- A pop-up will open displaying all items found (first page of search)
- Click in the boxes next to all literature you want to import into Mendeley
- Please note that PDF files will be imported as well (see red indicator next to third resource I have clicked to be imported)
- Click on Save XXX items (top corner of pop-up)
- Wait until all of them are imported
- Colour changes to green to indicate that all selected resources were imported
- Will state that it saved xxx items (see top corner of pop-up)
- Scroll down in browser and select another page of the web search results
- Repeat previous steps to import more resources
- Check if the resources was imported into Mendeley
I found using Google Scholar to import resources an excellent affordance of Mendeley!
