Mendeley Groups

Mendeley supports private groups, which can be used to share documents and references with collaborators and partners.  Scroll down the left-hand menu in Mendeley to Private Groups.  Give your group a name, then right-click to access the Manage Groups option.  You can then invite group members by entering their email addresses.  Private groups support up to 25 members.
