Characteristics of Project Management at Institutions Sponsoring National Library of Medicine Medlineplus Go Local (Report‪)‬

INTRODUCTION The National Library of Medicine's (NLM's) MedlinePlus Go Local [1] provides statewide or regional databases of health-related services linked to health topics in MedlinePlus, NLM's consumer health website. Links between MedlinePlus and Go Local allow users to move easily between researching a health topic and searching for a health service related to the topic. For instance, a user in Cook County, Illinois, can look up information about arthritis on MedlinePlus, then click the Go Local link on the topic page to find rheumatologists practicing in or near that county. Alternatively, a user can search Go Local for an area acupuncturist, then use the MedlinePlus link to locate information about acupuncture treatment.
