Abstract

INHealthConnect, the Go Local database of local health services for the state of Indiana, was built using the National Library of Medicine (NLM) input system with linking to and from the MedlinePlus <http://medlineplus.gov> health topic pages. It went public in May 2005 with 3,000 records, and construction of the resource leveled off in 2006. Although there are new records being added, some are also being deleted, and the number has held steady at approximately 10,000 for the past two years. Ongoing activities include promoting INHealthConnect, maintaining the database, responding to public contacts, analyzing monthly report data to make decisions on future directions, and continued reporting to NLM. An earlier article by Richwine, Skopelja, and Rider reported on the details about the features and process of building the database.
