How to make an Inquiry

1. To search the PCCP Asset Guide for certain services first click on the Search for Services on the initial screen.

2. A screen will then be displayed that will first display around 30 categories each with a "button" next to it. The last category is labeled "Other" and has a field for input underneath it. If you would like to search on one of these categories for a certain service, just point and click on the button next to the service you would like to search on. If the service you want is not listed on this screen you may select the "Other" button and type in the service in the field below it. The service you pu t in this field does not have to be fully spelled out, but the more you spell out, the more accurate "hits" you will get on the database. For example, if you want to search on vaccinations, select the "Other" button and then you could type in "vaccinatio ns" or even better, "vacc". Both inputs should return a list of organizations that will provide organizations.

3. If you would like to narrow your search to certain age categories and other criteria, you may select these on the table following the Categories table. You may narrow your search on Ages, Sexes Served, Handicapped Access and Cost Options.

4. If you know the name of an organization and wonder what they do, you may type in a partial name into the the Organization Name on the Inquiry Screen. This will search the PCCP Database for Organizations that contain the words you provide. For exampl e, if you enter the word "Rolla", all organizations in the PCCP Database that contain the word "Rolla" in their name will be returned.
