A comprehensive bibliography of astronomical catalogues for the period 1951-75 inclusive containing over 2000 items and including an index of designations has shown that there is an urgent need to control the use of designation notation. It is suggested that a small data base, similar to the one created for this bibliography could serve as a useful guide to the assignment and subsequent citation of catalogued objects. This in turn would help those compiling inverted files of stellar objects such as the Catalog of Stellar Identifications.
