Tammy showed a sample of a library home page that she created using VCU's My Library interface. She said that this technology was really interesting and that it was a topic that we should discuss at a later meeting. The meeting concluded with the members of the group agreeing that we need more time to work out the details of providing a single set of subject guides for the Tri-College Libraries. I decided to test the dictionary by looking for the term portal, and I found the following definition. These services are usually provided for free in the hope that users will make the site their default home page or at least visit it often.
Most portals exist to generate advertising income for their owners.
Cecelia has completed a preliminary inventory of the subject and course guides currently available on the three colleges library Web pages. Additions, corrections, or questions to these lists should be sent to Cecelia .
