Abstract

HIV / AIDS has impacted history in a uniquely global manner. Sub -Saharan Africa has been very hard hit, Botswana the hardest hit. The onslaught of this viral war is being counteracted from many battlefronts. The study examines data from twenty of Botswana's educational libraries to determine how much, and to what extent they are providing information on HIV /AIDS in varied formats. The finding reveal there is very little information provision. In the assessment of the librarians, they are doing what they can with what little is available. The study concludes with the cry for better co-ordinated effort perhaps regional in scope.
