hi - i am just starting my phd, and have already come across whole bunch of literatures (online and offline). I am looking for software which allows me to organize the literatures, write notes and search them. Is anybody using/aware of such software? Thank you.

Hi Marine, Two of the commonly used software packages are EndNote and Reference Manager. Your Uni will undoubtably have licences for at least one of these, probably both. I would certainly recommend using one, helps to keep track of all the papers/books you'll be reading and makes citing references and creating bibliographies extremely easy.

Sorry, typo, "Hi Marina" :o)
