The materials we have gathered over the years are not always readily available in one place, such as universities, government libraries, or AIDS service organizations. Funded in part by Health Canada, this new addition to the Network takes advantage of the extensive research and materials compiled in the course of producing our reports, discussion papers, info sheets, and newsletters. The scope of the collection reflects the Network s very broad understanding of legal, ethical, and policy issues. Different people may use the Resource Centre for many different reasons. The Network members access materials that will assist them in their respective projects.
Students research the legal impact of the epidemic.
Staff and volunteers from AIDS organizations look for community resources. By December 2000 the library catalogue will be available here for online consultation. The Network provides, on appointment, on-site space for reading and studying all written documentation. Requests for information can be made by telephone, email, or fax. Whichever method is used, a reference interview with the Resource Centre Coordinator will clarify information needs and translate these into subjects or terms used to organize our collection.
