Scientific paper
The Astronomical Data Center, as of mid-March, contained 779 catalogs and extensive tables from 636 journal articles. On the average, the archives grows by 9 catalogs and 12 journal articles each month. These files are on-line on a workstation from which they can be retrieved quickly by FTP. They cover the entire field of non-solar-system astronomy in addition to a few files concerning solar-system objects. The holdings are primarily derived from ground-based observations, theory, and supporting physics although they do include a limited amount of space data, such as the IRAS catalogs and several ultraviolet photometry catalogs. From the ADC World Wide Web pages, it is possible to search for files related to a particular area of interest. Currently, this permits an Isite search of the documents that accompany the files. In the ner future, it will be possible to click on a selected keyword. The ADC has also prepared two CD-ROMs that contain 174 of the largest catalogs and those requested most frequently. Each of these disks is available in both ASCII and FITS format.
