Abstract:
Knowledge has become the key driving force in the present day. Gone are the days when
organizations were reluctant and complacent in sharing of information and knowledge. Today, every
organization has understood the importance of knowledge. In the modern digital information and
knowledge environment, a well-defined mechanism is needed to organize, store, and access
information and knowledge. Knowledge portals are used as tools for implementing a knowledge
management methodology. A knowledge portal is highly beneficial to make the collections accessible
to user who expects all knowledge to be obtainable with just a few clicks from inside a web browser.
This paper has just focussed on the knowledge portals, which is a new revolution in the field of
Library and Information Science. The knowledge portal definitely has potential and challenging
tasks for the library and information professionals.
