Portals
A LITA intrest group on portals has created a Web site for their mission.
The Internet Portals Interest Group defines a portal as a service (and related systems and approaches to organization) that facilitates organized knowledge discovery through the Internet. The mission of the IG is to explore, research, educate and generally facilitate an understanding and sharing of knowledge about portal services (best practices, system design and software) among LITA members and throughout the library community and to help improve the state-of-the-art of portal services, systems and support groups in regard to both current and future library (or related) services.
