The harder part is using it.
There are many things to do!!
Why is it Social?
•You can share your library with others.
•Find out who is reading the same papers as you. In turn, this can help you discover literature which is relevant to your field but you may not have known about.
•The more people who use CiteULike, and the more they use it, the better it becomes as a resource.
•Use invite a friend feature.
Of Note:
How can I organize my papers?
CiteULike has a flexible filing system based on tags. You can choose whichever tags you want, and apply as many as you like to a paper. You can use tags to group papers together.
Can I import my existing references into CiteULike?
Yes. Create a BibTeX file containing your references and then import it into CiteULike by using the "Import" link at the top of your "Library" tab.
Of Note..
What are "groups"?
Groups are collections of users creating shared libraries of links. They are useful for keeping track of a particular topic or what everyone else in a lab, class or academic department is reading. You can start your own groups and join existing groups.
How do I build a bibliography?
You can use the "Export" link at the top of your "Library" tab to export your library in either BibTeX or RIS format then use BibTeX or EndNote (or whichever reference manager you prefer) to build it in to your bibliography.
