Resources for literature search:

• webofscience
• UGA Library
• UGA electronic journal
• GALILEO list of search engines (select Science and Technology, then select a subitem)
• GALILEO Internet Resources for the Physical Sciences

• xmgrace (for 2d plots)
• gnuplot (for 2d and 3d plots)
• OpenDX (for 3d plots)
• Aviz (for 2d and 3d plots)

Text processing with LaTeX:
 

• a very brief introduction (slides from Shan-Ho's talk)  -- source files and examples shown in the talk
• a not so brief introduction
• lots about inserting graphics
• APS Revtex4 sample file
• Guide for Revtex4
• Summary of Revtex4 commands
• Summary of differences between Revtex3 and Revtex4
• FAQ

Poster preparation with LaTeX:

• LaTeX ugaposter class (by Andy Schweitzer) (download the class and samples files here).

• LaTeX prosper class (package includes sample files)
