Browser bookmarklet for metadata import to Mendeley Web
Create a browser bookmarklet which lets you capture metadata and PDFs from publishers websites, databases like arXiv, PubMed, RePec, Google Scholar etc. The metadata and PDF (if available) would then be imported directly into "My Library" on Mendeley Web.

Great feat, saves alot of time! Would be more than happy, if you'd add the already mentioned aip.org and aps.org - that covers 80-90% for us physicists ; )

On second thought, strike Scitopia- the site itself is probably not used that much... (but all their society publishers are good- AIP, OSA, AGU, etc)

Thank you- this is really great! Just a note about WorldCat. I assume it would work with WorldCat Local instances as well, but please check (eg http://cornell.worldcat.org, http://uwashington.worldcat.org/). A few more sites to consider, JSTOR, http://publish.aps.org/, scitopia.org (society publishers)...

You could implement this almost for free using the scraper service at http://scraper.bibsonomy.org/

Yep, I use this in CiteULike all the time. It is a must-have feature! The real genius of the CiteULike bookmarklet is that it links the citation data to the page that you're getting it from, so that you don't need to save all the PDFs on your computer, you can just click the link to the journal's website and download. Excellent.
