Of the many and various means for observing the interstellar medium, and halo gas in particular, optical and ultraviolet absorption techniques provide both unique opportunities and unique limitations. As its title indicates, this article speaks specifically to the contributions from absorption methods to our knowledge of halo gas with temperatures below 105 K. A brief description of the trade-offs and benefits of the methods is therefore useful to set the stage for interpreting the observations of halo gas.
