Observations of the Galactic ISM have had tremendous impact on our understanding of the physics of galactic gas and the processes of galaxy formation. Similar observations at z>2 reveal the neutral baryonic content of the universe, trace the evolution of metal enrichment, shed light on process of nucleosynthesis and dust formation, and yield precise measurements of galactic velocity fields. Owing to the limitations of UV spectroscopy, however, researchers are unable to examine galactic gas at 0
