2	Overview of the DNER “Integrated access to educational resources licensed by JISC” The DNER can be thought of as having two components: The underlying information environment: how to find, access and disseminate quality information resources. A collection of information resources (referred to as “content”) of particular value to the research and education community.

6	Portals - Definition “A portal is essentially a themed gateway to a number of information sources often offering additional value by processing or combining information from different sources. Portals may also offer personalisation services, allowing a user to customise the portal to their own needs, (in effect performing a similar role to the browser bookmark file).” JISC Technology Watch Report: Java Portals. Matthew J. Dovey. December 2001. (http://www.jisc.ac.uk/techwatch/reports/index.html)
7	Portals - Types Types of portal include: Subject based portals e.g. RDN Specialised subject or topic based portals for researchers Course based portals (e.g. VLE’s and MLE’s) Portals offering information to alumni or potential applicants Portals integrating the information and financial systems for admin
