0. Introduction.

This FAQ posting is a resource of academic papers and books
relating to astrology.

1. Request for submissions.

This FAQ is intended as a resource for all people interested in
finding more about academic studies of astrology.  The only
criterion for inclusion is as follows:

        An item should have been published in a paper medium and
        have a bearing on astrology.

If there is a demand, separate FAQs may be created which have a
bearing on specific systems of astrology.  Meanwhile, the FAQ
maintainer welcomes all submissions which match the criterion
above.

A comprehensive bibliography of astrology is beyond the scope of
this FAQ, but some books have been included.  The interested reader
is advised to visit a well stocked bookstore.

2.  Other sources of information.

Jim Lippard has compiled a large chronology of the Gauquelin affair,
with numerous bibliographical references, at:
        ftp://ftp.primenet.com/pub/lippard/

The document is in Rich Text format, suitable for Microsoft Word
and many other word processors.

3.  How to gain access to abstracts.

There are a number of good Medline pages on the WWW.  The one I
like to use is at NIH.

        http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez/medline.html

4.  What to do next.

If you find papers that interest you, the next thing to do is to
visit the library of your local college of further education, most
of which stock many journals.
