The Star*s Family: An example of comprehensive yellow-page services

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 203))

Abstract

In the book Databases & On-line Data in Astronomy (Albrecht & Egret 1991), the chapter entitled Astronomical Directories (Heck, 1991) was essentially dealing with classical publications on paper: directories of organizations, lists of electronic addresses, and so on. Some files started to be retrievable electronically. In Sect. 8 (Future Trends) of that chapter, we were looking forward to using on-line and networking facilities that have become a daily reality since.
