ARE 633: Readings

You will need some kind of program (available FREE) to read what is called "pdf" or Portable Document Format files. You may already have such a program on your computer (most newer computers do). If you don't, you can get Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 for free. Once you link to this site, scroll to the bottom of the page, click on the icon "Get Acrobat Reader" and follow instructions. It will take a few minutes to download Adobe Acrobat Reader. Once you download it, don't forget to open it up and install it. You will find that having Adobe Acrobat Reader--or some other program that lets you read pdf files--is a standard and very useful tool for reading and transferring files from the web to your home computer.

Problems?If they are with the legibility of the readings or printing, please contact library personnel from the Reserve Reading Room. If you would like to borrow and copy the readings, please contact Dr. Garber (egarber@email.arizona.edu).
