Seems to work a treat too. Only problem I had was when trying to get chapters within books where the chapters weren't indexed separately by e.g. Medline but I could find the books in e.g. Google Books. I like the way it lets you pick from a set of search results which ones you want to import as well.

Worked for me on first try with article from Pub Med. I miss the ability to add my own comments, though. I know I'm an outlier, but when posting to citeulike, I've been trying to add my own comments. I use a Yahoo pipe to include the comments in the RSS for friendfeed. I don't think anyone reads these yet, but I hope once more of my students get on friendfeed, this will serve as our "journal watch" function.

So, I'm voting for Mendeley to allow adding comments when saving AND for these comments to go into any RSS feed.

Oh, and I know I'm an annoying, demanding user, and I forgot to compliment you on how well it worked! That said, I also want to be able to add tags in the popup window :)
- Steve Koch
Steve - thank you! It's a very good suggestion. We tried to keep the bookmarklet as lightweight as possible so as not to interfere with the literature research process - but it shouldn't be too hard to add an AJAX-style "add Tags & Notes" link which scrolls open these additional fields for the people who want it. We'll get to work on it right away!

+1 for RSS feeds and comments/tags in the popup window
- Cameron Neylon
Paulo - could to tell me what went wrong? Which browser are you using? Neither drag & drop to taskbar nor right-click "add to bookmarks" is working?
- Victor / Mendeley Team
As for feeds: Yes, we're planning to allow each user to make his Mendeley Library (and sub-group) document imports, tags and notes available as RSS feeds. Will by another few weeks, though!
- Victor / Mendeley Team
Steve/Cameron: We just released an updated version of the bookmarklet which allows you to add tags & comments in the pop-up. We also added a few more supported sites; also import of multiple documents from Pubmed/ACM search results pages is now possible. RSS feeds are in the plans. You can find the new bookmarklet on http://www.mendeley.com/import

Whoops - also just noticed a layouting problem for the multi-document import pop-up. It works, but it's ugly as sin. We'll fix that tomorrow morning, I guess...

I had the same problem as Mr. Gunn w/ the libproxy.unm.edu thing. (I also couldn't figure out how to get firefox to stop automatically doing the libproxy thing!) But I was able to try it with Google Scholar and it was very slick. As a user, with the multiple articles available on the google scholar Mendeley popup, I was a bit unsure of when exactly the entry was "saved." Having a "save all and close window" button at the bottom may help, whether or not it's actually necessary.
- Steve Koch
Also, when having my firefox issues with libproxy, I went to Mendely on IE7. I wasn't able to find the browser button via the mendeley.com website. I could only find it via friendfeed direct link.
- Steve Koch
Steve, if it's automatically using the proxy, it may be Zotero, so try disabling it and seeing if the auto-proxy thing stops happening.
- Mr. Gunn
You're right MG -- Andrew also helped me with the Zotero proxy thing
