How do I read/open PDF files?
The software used to read PDF files (Acrobat Reader), can be downloaded for free from Adobe.
How do I search the collection?
At the search page, you may enter keywords into the search engine. In addition, by creating an account and logging into the eScholarship Repository, you may save the results of your searches and choose to be notified about future publications matching your area of interest.
How do I contact authors?
The e-mail of the author is typically listed on the title page of the article's PDF file. If none is listed, no e-mail is available. You might consider contacting the volume editor instead.
How do I contact GAIA?
It is easiest to reach us via email at ucias@berkeley.edu. Our office is located on the UC Berkeley campus.
