The purpose of the Portals programme area is to promote better and up-to-date information dissemination for the users through cooperation between Danish research libraries on the development of portals and portal tools.
In that way it is the purpose of the programme area to promote the development of portals and portal tools, plus promoting the cooperation round these activities among Danish research libraries. This will contribute to providing the users with a better and more clearly access to, and possibility of working with, all relevant information resources within the areas covered by portals.

Through its activities the programme area wants to create a framework around this work by suggesting, coordinating and supporting a range of activities and development initiatives, and through a coordinated effort strengthen the entire development. The programme area will in various ways contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and experience among the research libraries and other interested parties.

Among other things, the programme committee operates with:

• Evaluation of portals and the work with portals in Danish research libraries
• Adaption of portals into a new content management system (CMS)
• Further development of library catalogues.
