Mendeley
Mendeley is a free reference management program that is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is used to organize academic articles and PDFs and to process them for citations and reference lists. Mendeley makes collecting, managing and sharing literature and in-text citations simple and straightforward.

Storage space for groups at the University of Bern
Mendeley provides 2GB of private storage space per person for free. In case this should not be enough, especially to share and manage literature in a research group, the university library can create a Mendeley group with more storage space, free of charge. If you wish to set up such a group, please write an e-mail to tools.ub@unibe.ch with the desired group name.
