Project STELAR

STELAR (STudy of Electronic Literature for Astronomical Research) is a project that NASA has undertaken to develop on-line access to both abstracts and full text for much of the recent astronomical literature. Abstracts are being provided from NASA's RECON system. It provides abstracts back to the mid-1960's, but even for the period covered systematically (1975 onwards) a complete coverage of any of the sources is not guaranteed. The pages of the ApJ, ApJS, AJ, PASP, and A&Aare being scanned beginning with issues from 1987, with the plan to make the pages available as bit-maps. The first service to be offered by STELAR is access to journal abstracts, AAS meeting abstracts, and the AAS Job Register. Access is provided by a WAIS (Wide Area Information Service) server. Details are provided in the October 1992 issue of the AAS Newsletter. The project STELAR WWW homepage is http://hypatia.gsfc.nasa.gov/STELAR_homepage.html.
