Presentation made on November 2014:

Compare the library managers (Mendeley, Zotero, etc...)

https://www.readcube.com/compare

• Zotero:
• Mendeley:
• Readcube: (02/20/2015) seems nice. I like the framework and some features (discovery engine) but only the pro version will allow you to save and sync your library on the cloud and multiple devices :'( - maybe you can do that through another client like Dropbox though.
• Papers for Mac: Solenn finds it very useful. You can get a license for free from support-info. Easy searching and organizing from within the application. Manual/automatic librairies. Many filters. Easy drag and drop into your LateX editor. Works with bilbioplanet access codes from the lab or not.

Use LaTeX efficiently with LaTeXTips

There is also a subsection on TeXshopTips for mac users

For templates on Beamer (presentations), Posters, articles, drawings using LateX, contact solenn.vaupre@obs.ujf-grenoble.fr.
Templates will be uploaded to this page when got time.

Go to the PhD IDL library

Mac users (coming soon ?)

Shell and Terminals: Customize your terminal (shortcuts, fonctions, ....), learn basic shell
Aquamacs, neat Emacs application for mac
