Abstract

Starting in the summer of 2007, Ithaca College embarked on a project to build a lightweight web portal infrastructure for the campus community from scratch. The result is a Web 2.0 portal environment that bridges a user's on- and off-campus worlds, provides for one-click access to campus resources and information, and allows for the community to create portlets and publish portlet collections. Join us to learn why Ithaca decided to go this route, and see what one campus came up with for a next-generation web portal when not constrained by an out-of-the-box solution.
