Abstract:
Portals are becoming the primary interface through which students, faculty, administrators
and alumni interact with educational institutes. As a result, portals are rapidly becoming the
most empowering strategic information system framework for institutional Information
Technology (IT) solutions. Portals have become the most effective delivery mechanism for
information creation, sharing and knowledge management strategy. The portal transforms
the user’s access method from desktop to a secure “WebTop,” offering intelligent, integrated,
and personalized access to enterprise services from anywhere, anytime. While humble in
itself, the portal has the power and potential to transform institutions and make a significant
contribution towards success. The goal of this paper is to assist in understanding or high
lighting various aims, objectives, benefits, the role of Knowledge Management & Information
Services (Library) as well as how it can be developed and implemented successfully for
various other educational institutions by looking at the NID K-Portal model and architecture.
