Full summary
When viewing an article or a list of references in the browser, click the Mendeley Web Importer icon in the toolbar. The extension will analyse the page and retrieve metadata like title, authors, etc. and PDF full texts (where available) for you to add to your Mendeley library. Get a Mendeley account at https://www.mendeley.com/ where you can save, read and cite the articles you import with the extension. You will also receive 2GB of free storage space.	This extension adds a browser button for easy access to Google Scholar from any web page. Click the Scholar button to: Find full text on the web or in your university library. Select the title of the paper on the page you're reading, and click the Scholar button to find it. Transfer your query from web search to Scholar. Press the Scholar button to see top three results; click "full screen" at the bottom of the popup to see them all. Format references in widely used citation styles. Press the quote button below the result to see a formatted reference and copy it into the paper you're writing. Save the article to your Scholar library, so you can read it or cite it later. Press the blue star below the result to save it, or the gray star at the bottom to see all saved articles. Library links work best when you're on campus. To configure them for off-campus use, visit Google Scholar Settings at https://scholar.google.com/scholar_settings (you may need to login with your library password or to set up your browser to use a library proxy; please visit your library's website or ask a local librarian for assistance). To search the US case law, click the gear icon at the bottom of the popup, and configure your preferred collection in Google Scholar Settings.
