Mendeley Desktop and the new Mendeley Reference Manager both have technical issues which are affecting Macquarie users. Mendeley Desktop software has been unavailable for download since September 2022.
We recommend that new users make use of our institutional licence and use EndNote instead.
Current Mendeley users may continue using Mendeley, and Macquarie University Library will continue to provide support to these users.
If you have further questions about this or bibliographic referencing software more generally please contact your Faculty Librarian.
