HIV/AIDS Atlas

The National HIV/AIDS Atlas provides a powerful new tool to the public, health care professionals, policy makers and elected officials to access and map local, state and national data in order to see how HIV/AIDS is impacting their community.

The Atlas presents county-level prevalence rates (based on the reported number of people living with HIV (non-AIDS) and AIDS in 2006) in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, depicting the intensity of the disease, rather than the magnitude.

The Atlas allows users to focus on HIV/AIDS statistics by age, gender, and race/ethnicity, where available. It also allows users to see their congressional and state legislative districts overlaid on top of the county-level data.

Voyager Library Catalog Undergoing Upgrade This Week

To improve its services to the University of Hawai’i community, the Voyager Library online catalog for the libraries of the University of Hawai’i system will be in the process of upgrading the current system during the week of July 13-19, 2009.

During this time, some regular online services such as renewing items or requesting library materials for pick up and/or delivery through Voyager, will be unavailable. Account information will be a snapshot of the July 13 information. Until the update is completed on July 19, no additional transactions will be displayed during that time (holds, renewals, fines, fees, etc.).

If you need to renew a book or request an article, please contact the Health Sciences Library at 692-0810 or hslinfo@hawaii.edu.

The UH library system apologizes for any inconvenience at this time and looks forward to better serving you in the future.
