Abstract

(Abstract only) This poster presents a look at the Eggen Portal for accessing the Eggen cards, as well as a call for volunteers to help code the cards: 100,000 cards must be looked at and their star references identified and coded into the database for this to be a valuable resource. [Ed. note: see also Silvis’ talk abstract, “The Eggen Card Project,” in this issue.]
