Subject Portals Development Project …overview Judith Clark

The Background Subject gateways were developed as part of the JISC’s e-lib project - quality-tested databases of Internet resources described and catalogued by specialists in UK HE institutions and other partner organisations subject gateways > hubs > portals Hubs to be ‘portalised’: EEVL - engineering Omni (now BIOME) - health and medicine SOSIG - social sciences The Resource Discovery Network:

Geography & Environment Arts & Creative Industries Sport, Tourism & Leisure RDN: a network enterprise Humbul EEVL

RDN - the network behind the portals A network of subject experts and a distributed organisational structure - collaborating to deliver portal services RDN-i ‘button service’ cross-searches three hubs, other RDN services being developed (RSS, harvesting)

The challenges ahead Tension between Enterprise (conventional) portal functionality DNER portalisation strategy

Portalisation of hubs RSS files as a means of sharing news and alerts about new resources added to the network SOSIG already offers registered users access to a range of relevant RSS files and alerts Visit SOSIG’s My Account pages to find out more

Enterprise portals Are different… Knowledge management - the learning organisation - productivity information creation, sharing and collaboration user focused, built on an understanding of the needs of users and integrated with business strategies

“DNER Portalisation” The RDN is developing prototype portals as part of the JISC’s Distributed National Electronic Resource (DNER) These portals will add content from the JISC’s collections to RDN’s data and make data from a variety of distributed datasets and a variety of publishers available to users through a single interface DNER Architecture uses Z39.50

Presentation services DNER vision encompasses many kinds of presentation services, including... subject portals image portal geo-browser portals shallow portal (linking) deep portal (richer discovery and use functionality including cross-search)

DNER Shared services authentication authorisation collection description service description location user preferences/profiling thesauri/terminology metadata registry (ratings, terms & conditions) key desirable

BUT... The ‘glue’ between the RDN portals and the wider DNER is those shared services, which exist only in the realm of the DNER vision. Hence, The Subject Portals Development Project aka. ‘SAD One’ !

Subject portals Present a selection of relevant heterogeneous resources Journal articles, A&I tools, union catalogues, search engines, image collections, resource catalogues, and more

User functionality Two areas in particular… discover/survey (finding stuff from multiple content providers) use record (annotate, sort, , save records)

Discover/Survey portals expose Web content for machine use (Z39.50 m2m search) may expose metadata using search, harvesting or alerting protocols may provide options for the end-user to link to a network service (p2m)

Use Record Add to links basket, create pathways, add to bookmarks list annotate, sort, select, proceed to further discovery activities proceed to locate, request/access, UseResource

Managing user expectations How best to help users to understand the difference between searching at a hub and at a portal? hubs are based on a library model while portals are inherently Web-y How important to users is the faculty-level approach?

Meeting learners’ needs Can portals get away from the one-size- fits-all approach to cater to individual learning styles? Can they be a truly educational environment, i.e. how do we embed instructional material and cater for novices without frustrating more experienced users (the paperclip problem)?
