THIS FILE WILL BE UPDATED AND REVISED AS WE GO ALONG.
Caveat Emptor: Like many astronomical data sets, this collection of links is INCOMPLETE, biased, and probably not optimal in any way. It's a start. You should explore beyond it. Suggestions for additions and improvements are welcome.
The best on-line source of articles etc. is www.arXiv.org/archive/astro-ph
You can search the NASA ADS abstracts/titles/authors at http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
and download articles from http://adsabs.harvard.edu/article_service.html
Their scanned conference proceedings service is also very useful: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/proceedings_service.html

A lot of good stuff is available at NED Level 5, http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/
Caltech Libraries have an on-line access to many journals: http://ojdb.library.caltech.edu/ojdb/onlinejrnl.htm
