The document discusses the Astrophysics Data System (ADS), which was established in 1987 to provide access to astronomical data and bibliographic metadata. Over time, ADS expanded to include a full-text archive and became the primary resource for astronomers and astrophysicists. It currently indexes over 15 years of literature and sees high usage rates, with 74% of its traffic coming from Google. The presentation outlines ADS's history and development, current usage, and plans for future improvements to better serve the astronomy community.
