Some Internet Resources

CS toolkit at the U of Manitoba Sciences and Technology Library
Hypertext Webster Gateway: Allows you to look up words in online dictionaries.
Graduate Study in the Computer and Mathematical Sciences: A Survival Manual, by Dianne O'Leary at the University of Maryland.
Advice on Research and Writing: A collection of advice about how to do research and how to communicate effectively.
Research and Essay Writing Guide: A comprehensive Canadian guide from the University of Toronto Library.
Handouts for Students: A list of helpful handouts on plagiarism and how to avoid it (from the University of Alberta libraries).
An open-source mind mapping tool. (Thanks to Tyler Gunn, who found that "an assignment was a lot easier to organize this way.")
An open-source BibTeX reference manager. It allows you to edit the BibTeX entries manually, or you can enter them in forms. It also includes nice features like being able to highlight a BibTeX entry and copy the \cite{key} entry for pasting into a .tex file. (Again, thanks to Tyler Gunn for this pointer.)
The LaTeX Beamer Class Homepage. I use this package to create course slides. From the web page: "The beamer class is a LaTeX class that allows you to create a beamer presentation. It can also be used to create slides. It behaves similarly to other packages like Prosper, but has the advantage that it works together directly with pdflatex, but also with dvips."
Formatting URLs in LaTeX and bibTeX.
