The On-line Bibliographical Data Base ARIBIB for Astronomical References
The ARIBIB is an on-line bibliographical data base for astronomical references. The ARIBIB is based on the information given in the printed bibliography ``Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts'' (AAA). At present, the ARIBIB contains references to the literature from 1983 until 2000. Information on the older literature (1982 and earlier) is presently not available to us in a machine-readable format.
