Dear all ,
summarizing the few responses that I got, it seems that institutions are quit hesitant towards such solutions. One institution is preferring Zotero, as a more stable solution (since Mendeley is still in beta). Nothing more was added, so I guess that those that are interested are waiting to see if Mendeley can prove a mature and reliable solution (like I do).
My personal opinion, as a user of Mendeley, is good. It has some end user problems, but my essence is that they are working quite slow to solve them. Thankfully, these are minor problems and I am satisfied with how it works (on Mac). But I don't know if I can propose it to our users, especially when a significant number of them has invested a lot of effort and time in our the solution we subscribe to.
Thank you for your answers and interest and I'll be glad to know if anyone has any news on this subject.
With kind regards
