Showcasing at ALA Midwinter Meetings: Swets and Mendeley expand collaboration possibilities in Mendeley Institutional Edition with Teams focused upgrade option
Swets and Mendeley are proud to announce the availability of Mendeley Institutional Edition for Teams, the latest advancement to its premier research analytics dashboard and social collaboration platform for libraries and researchers.
Mendeley Institutional Edition for Teams is an optional upgrade for institutions looking to enhance the collaboration power across their campuses. Working with peers from other faculties, universities or even research centers necessitates the more advanced collaboration capabilities and features this new upgrade brings. Exclusively available via Swets, the upgrade offers the analytics of the regular Mendeley Institutional Edition along with a special, teams focused package to all users who join the institutional group. Aside from the overall ease of workflow in terms of instantaneous sharing among team members, institutions will enrich the overall experience for users as they are provided with:
- Unlimited number of private groups
- Unlimited shared storage space for groups
- Access to inter-institutional groups
- Capabilities for teams with up to 25 collaborators
Additional takeaway for the library includes greater insight and analyses of interactions among large groups, and the monitoring of collaboration trends and usage of content becomes available on a grander scale.
Victor Henning, Co-founder and CEO of Mendeley "My co-founders and I started Mendeley to address our own needs as researchers, which included better collaboration tools. Thus, we're happy to respond to demand from universities for increased collaboration capacity in the Mendeley Institutional Edition."
“Swets is constantly implementing ways to provide the best value and resources for libraries. The addition of the Teams focused plans for Mendeley Institutional Edition will continue to enforce our reputation as a company that improves the delivery and use of knowledge to libraries,” said Jose Luis Andrade, Swets President of the Americas. “We look forward to connecting with new, as well as existing, Mendeley users at the upcoming ALA Midwinter Meetings to showcase this innovative service for advanced research collaboration.”
