HIV/AIDS Community Information Services: Experiences in Serving Both At-Risk and HIV-Infected Populations
Autor M. Sandra Wood, Jeffrey T. Huberen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 oct 2016
While directories exist to assist with practical approaches to accessing HIV/AIDS-related information, none had served as a comprehensive resource concerning the nature of that information or the provision of information services. HIV/AIDS Community Information Services fills that void. It fosters the enlightenment of the general public concerning the true nature of HIV/AIDS, guides readers in providing information services--both educational and recreational--to individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, and encourages the dissemination of instructional materials to those individuals at risk for infection. In doing so, contributors provide readers with information about:
- the relationship between AIDS and the body of information concerning the disease
- the complex nature of HIV/AIDS-related information
- available HIV/AIDS information services
- information as a means for empowerment
- suggestions for future programs, potential collaboration efforts, and innovative services
An essential guide for information professionals, librarians, health educators, counselors, members of community-based AIDS service organizations, and individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, HIV/AIDS Community Information Services foster the creation, accession, collection, organization, dissemination, and sharing of information concerning the HIV/AIDS epidemic and promotes the provision of services to individuals already affected by HIV/AIDS.
