access points that disseminate information to researchers, librarians, and other web users
in the various disciplines. Summarizes some of the issues, and explore the potential role of
World Wide Web portals in helping library consortia to fulfill their objectives. At the end the
paper highlights the importance of portal service to the Indian academic community in the
light of UGC-Infonet E-Journals consortium.
