[ScanIndiana] Bloomington Hospital and BPD "Rolidex"

[neil sly - KC9CJL]

Hello All,  I've been lurking on the list for while now - but I have the 
following two questions:

1)  In Bloomington on 461.8750 (a frequency listed as belonging to 
Bloomington Hospital) I occasionally hear what seems to be a telephone 
conversation between "Hospital Maintenance"  and whomever is calling.  
The usual conversations consist of a couple of quick beeps then someone 
saying "Hospital Maintenance this is... (it usually seems to be someone 
named steve)" followed by what seems to sound like a telephone 
conversation between the other caller and the Maintenance guy - it 
usually seems to concern some sort of (shock) maintenace thing (ie, 
light bulb replaced, a/c isn't working... etc) then a couple more quick 
beeps before the carrier drops.  My best guess is that it's some sort 
of  radio patch for the maintenance people so they can get their 
telephone calls anywhere in the hospital - but this seems a little far 
fetched.  Anyone have any info on this, or encountered it somewhere else?

2)  When I'm listening to Bloomington Police Department dispatch on 
460.3250 I occasionally hear officers ask dispatch for "Rolidex" on 
different peoples names, the results either come back 'negative' or with 
a persons telephone number, and sometimes other info.  I'm curious if 
this is simply a fancy term for looking someone up in the phone book, or 
possibly some other police only database?  Anyone got any info?

If anyone has any info, it'd be greatly apprecatied!  Thanks!!
