Books for authentication (takhrij) vary: some are arranged by chapter, such as "Irwa' al-Ghalil" and "al-Talkhis al-Habir"; some by narrators' names, like "Tuhfat al-Ashraf"; and some by the first words (atraf), like " al-Jami' al-Saghir" and "Da'if al-Jami' al-Saghir."
As for computer programs, the most useful include: "Hadith Sharif Program," "The Golden Encyclopedia of Heritage," and "The Comprehensive Encyclopedia (al-Mawsu'ah al-Shamilah)."
