The Astronomical Software and Documentation Service (ASDS) is a network service that allows you to find existing astronomical resources for solving your problem. ASDS started as as site devoted entirely to astronomical software packages and their associated on-line documentation. But in 1998 its scope was expanded to include astronomical observing sites and their associated telescope and instrument manuals, taken from a listing maintained by Liz Bryson. The primary objective of the telescope manuals side of ASDS is to allow astronomers to easily locate the information required when preparing an observing proposal or planning an observing session. The telescope manual service consists of two complementary collections: (1) a page of information for each site, including a short description, a link to the home page, and a list of manuals, each with its own short description, and (2) a distributed set of telescope manuals, observer guides, instrument and calibration handbooks, proposal preparation guides, etc. Both collections are indexed for full-text searching and logically grouped both for browsing and for more highly targeted searching. We are happy to add pointers to more software packages and telescope manuals. We are especially interested in items that would otherwise be hard to find. Please stop by our poster for a chat if you have items in either category of interest to the astronomical community. Submission forms are also available on our web site, and we have a mailing list. Please note that ASDS is not an archive or distribution service.
