Due to the increasing amount of the literature about stellar studies, the gathering of the published information about a given star becomes a tedious and time consuming task. For enabling an automatic retrieval of information, a bibliographic file has been built in machine readable form through collaboration between Paris and Strasbourg Observatories. The file begins with the year 1950, and is kept up to date. Knowing the name of a star, a program prints the titles of the papers quoting this star. However, only the main journals were covered at first, and some other limitations have been imposed. The first part of this file will be very soon published on microfiches. Meanwhile the information can be obtained from the Strasbourg Stellar Data Center, (Centre de Données Stellaires).
