New Database: Veterans Resources Search Engine

Here's a bit about a database that recently went live from the Indiana Prevention Resource Center (IPRC).

From the Announcement:

"The IPRC has created a tool that provides access to a wide variety of resources available through the Internet to assist returning veterans, their families, their communities, and all who provide services for the veteran, his or her family and children," said Barbara Seitz de Martinez, deputy director for the IPRC.

The IPRC Veterans Resources Searchable Database, found at www.drugs.indiana.edu, is designed to speedily link people with resources, such as the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Coalition of Homeless Veterans. National, regional and Indiana specific resources are included. The database is searchable by subject, organization, audience, category and keyword.

Access the Database

It's possible to search on any number fields. Of course, the fewer used, the higher the recall with less precision.

Finally, along the left rail of the database, you'll notice several more resources including fact sheets, a searchable database of street slang, "prevention related" acronyms, a Hispanic/Latino portal, and more.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
