HIV\/AIDS and Community Information Services provides readers with insight into the information construct within the AIDS arena and how that construct affects the provision of information services to the HIV\/AIDS affected population. It will serve as an irreplaceable reference as the number of individuals with AIDS increases, creating a greater demand for information and making that information increasingly difficult to provide.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.

In doing so, contributors provide readers with information about: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe relationship between AIDS and the body of information concerning the disease \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe complex nature of HIV\/AIDS-related information \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eavailable HIV\/AIDS information services \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einformation as a means for empowerment \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esuggestions for future programs, potential collaboration efforts, and innovative servicesAn 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45237785690263,"sku":"9781138971851","price":3071.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138971851.webp?v=1769217621","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hiv-aids-community-information-services-experiences-in-serving-both-at-risk-and-hiv-infected-populations-9781138971851","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
