preprint servers - arXiv
• important scientific role: preprint servers
– all types of articles available
– uploaded prior to peer-review
– freely accessible without subscription
– might only be feasible to experienced scientist due to 'everyone can publish' philosophy → high number of papers might be confusing to beginners!
– most famous: arXiv (Cornell Library), esp. category physics.optics

Literature management
– use bibliographic management software!
• What is it?
– BMS manages all your references in a database
– eases citation of a paper by integration into word processing software ('click + cite')
– provides tools for annotating, grouping, sorting & searching papers you work with
• most prominent: BibTeX (quasi-standard), EndNote, Mendeley, Qiqqa, see list here

• How does it work?
– publishers provide reference data for a paper
– this is imported into BMS which does the rest

• Annoyed of importing the bibtex data? Looking for a 'one click' solution? → Try Mendeley
– can import ref data directly from a website!
– can scan a PDF automatically! (Drag & Drop)
– can synchronize among different PCs & web via client ↔ server communication
– synchronizes with a bib file automatically if you wish!
– brings MS Word & Open Office plugins for direct citation (very easy!)
– it's truly amazing... :-)
