Interstellar dust and the IUEUnderstanding of the physical nature of interstellar dust, as modified by observations of extinction obtained with IUE, is considered. Properties of extinction laws along various lines of sight, with emphasis on the bump, are reviewed. Correlations of the UV and optical/near infrared extinction are discussed. Other diagnostics of interstellar dust, such as the near infrared emission bands, polarization, far infrared thermal emission, and depletions are mentioned, and theories are summarized.
