Abstract
Between 2006 and 2009, two health sciences librarians at Baton Rouge General Medical Center created and launched the Louisiana segment of the National Library of Medicine's Go Local program, whose ultimate goal was to improve the health information-seeking experience of the general public. Louisiana Go Local was successfully launched in October 2009, but in spring 2010 the national umbrella program was cancelled by the NLM. This article describes the three-year development of a statewide database of health services descriptions and contact information to assist nonexpert health information seekers in finding those health care providers located geographically closest to them.
