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

André Heck

On-line yellow-page services have become of common use in the community of astronomy and related space sciences.
This chapter is devoted to an example of a comprehensive group of products, the Star*s Family of Astronomy Resources, themselves essentially derived and adapted from classical directories and dictionaries on paper.
Another important service, AstroWeb, is also described (see pointers below).
