Over the years, World AIDS Day has become a global phenomenon that has prompted massive media coverage, raised awareness, encouraged people to get involved and amplified the voices of those living with HIV/AIDS.

The Auraria Library is hosting the Tri-Institutional World AIDS Day student art show, now in its 5th year. Prizes are awarded for Best In Show, 1st, 2nd, and Popular Vote:

When: September 10, 2010 (Friday)

The Center for Colorado & the West at Auraria Library has recently produced three short videos on aspects of Colorado Hispanic history, including Denver's Displaced Aurarian community. In addition, a 500 image photography collection offers unique insights into the varied historical experiences of Hispanics throughout Colorado. . The first video is titled Salvaje y Libre (Wild and Free).

This notice concerns all faculty and students who previously had an email address name.name@cudenver.edu. For most, this email address should be changed to name.name@ucdenver.edu. The ILLiad system, which is used for Interlibrary Loan requests, is no longer recognizing the @cudenver.edu address and will not send out any email notices to this domain. Therefore, many users are no longer receiving email notices for items that have been requested and received. Consequently, we have had to return items which have not yet been picked up because they are due back to the lending library.

The Auraria Library Web Migration Team is pleased to present the Auraria Campus community with a new web site!
