Posted on Jul 18 2008
Pacific Resources for Education and Learning has begun implementation of the Enhanced HIV/AIDS Prevention in the Pacific project. This project is supported by the National Library of Medicine and focuses on community information outreach and training.
The purpose of this project is to provide librarians, educators, public health personnel, and other community members in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific with training on how to access and retrieve reliable HIV/AIDS-prevention-related information, specifically from NLM databases and other information resources including EBSCO host databases and STAT!Ref.
Library staff will be able to attend sessions during the annual Pacific Islands Association of Libraries, Archives and Museums conference to be held in Yap, the Federated States of Micronesia, in November 2008.
PREL is an independent, nonprofit 501 (c)(3) corporation that works in partnership with the Pacific educational community to provide quality programs and products developed to promote educational excellence, including professional development and educational materials.
PREL serves the U.S.-affiliated Pacific, including American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia (Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Yap), Guam, Hawaii, the Republic of Palau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. [B][I](PREL)[/I][/B]
