Jay,

In Madison, Wisconsin we did a variation of your idea of a list of all the
breastfeeding resources in a community.  We made up a bookmark that was
printed on colored paper and distributed to the local libraries and
children's book stores for World Breastfeeding Week. On one side we listed
all the breastfeeding classes with phone numbers.  On the other side the
top said, "We can help!"  We then listed resources for answers to
breastfeeding questions, including the phone numbers to reach the
appropriate help at the city and county health departments, La Leche
League's help line, the hospital lactation consultants' helplines, and
private LC's.  Of course this is easier to do in a city where all this
information can be squeezed onto the two sides of a bookmark.  (We fit
three bookmarks per one piece of 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper).  In a big city
you would have to use more local areas.  We hoped that the bookmark format
would be less likely to get misplaced.  We did these bookmarks in
conjunction with book displays, but they can be used independently as well.
 Unfortunately, it was hard to get feedback about how useful they were to
individuals.

One problem with making resource lists is the difficulty in keeping them up
to date.  Especially in a large city, people change, phone numbers change,
etc.
Resource lists are no good unless they are kept up to date.
