SECTION 2: STRATEGIES FOR LOCATING RELIABLE HIV/AIDS INFORMATION ON THE WEB

LIBRARY COLLECTIONS


For example, you may have used the CBAIOP -- Consumers' Boston AIDS Information Outreach Project Web site, which is sponsored by the Boston University Medical Center Library and the Boston Public Health Commission AIDS Program. The CBAIOP Web site is both a library site and a local government agency Web site.

You will notice on the screen below that the CBAIOP site is organized by CATEGORY. If you have thought about your topic based on category, you can go right to the appropriate section in this site.

Click here if you want to open a new browser window to CBAIOP. You can also do a "Bookmark" in Netscape® or add it to your "Favorites" in Internet Explorer® if you want to go back to it later: http://med-libwww.bu.edu/library/cbaiop.html).

Within each category section, you will find a handful of links to high quality Web sites. Each of these Web sites has been evaluated by information experts and subject experts. This saves you time in evaluating Web sites or weeding through junk.

You will also notice another value-added feature on the screen above. An "annotation" or brief description of each of the linked Web sites is included. This lets users know who produced the site, or the kinds of information it contains.
