         The Star*s Family of Astronomy and Related Resources

    (Databases * Dictionaries * Directories * Online WWW Services)
    --------------------------------------------------------------

Questionnaire to register an organization or to update/complete an entry
in the directory StarGuides and in the database StarWorlds.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

StarWorlds is a unique database gathering together all practical data available 
on associations, societies, scientific committees, agencies, companies, institutions, 
universities, etc., and more generally organizations, involved in astronomy and space 
sciences.  StarGuides is the corresponding paper edition.

Many other related types of entries have also been included such as 
academies, advisory and expert committees, bibliographical services, data 
and documentation centres, dealers, distributors, funding agencies and 
organizations, journals, manufacturers, meteorological services, museums, 
norms and standards offices, planetariums, private consultants, public 
observatories, publishers, research institutions in related fields, 
software producers and distributors, and so on.

Besides astronomy and related space sciences, other fields such as aeronautics, 
aeronomy, astronautics, atmospheric sciences, chemistry, communications, 
computer sciences, data processing, education, electronics, energetics, 
engineering, environment, geodesy, geophysics, information handling,
management, mathematics, meteorology, optics, physics, remote sensing, 
and so on, are also covered when justified.

StarWorlds is the largest WWW resource of its kind and is complemented by
the database StarHeads (http://astro.u-strasbg.fr/~heck/sfheads.htm) for
individuals (astronomers, space scientists, and so on), as well as by 
the dictionary StarBits for acronyms, abbreviations, and so on. 
All together, those resources are called the StarPages.

If you believe that your organization should be included in the database
StarWorlds and in the directory StarGuides, please fill the following form to 
ensure that correct data be published. Please list separately the different 
departments, commissions, etc. of your organization. If your organization has
several branches with different geographical locations, please copy this form 
and fill in a questionnaire for each of them. Inclusion in the StarPages and
in the Star*s Family products is free of charge.

As we require a signature for validation and authentication of the published
information, please do not use e-mail nor fax and return the form by post, 
together with a copy of your most recent annual report or of something
published by your organization (please avoid printout of web pages -
