Abstract | A Web portal is now the standard interface to aggregate library resources and services through a single access point for users. Libraries at many universities and institutions with large electronic collections decided to offer their resources on portals which enable customisation and personalisation, that is to say, are user-centred and suited to their patrons' needs. Considering the previous analyses, the Central Medical Library (CMK) at the Faculty of Medicine has decided to establish a personalised library portal. The article describes approaches to the design of the CMK portal named MyLibrary@CMK. Since financial and human resources were limited, CMK adopted and extended the library portal software MyLibrary of the North Carolina State University. The methods of assuring support to multilinguality and CMK functionality according to the users' needs are also described. Therefore, users can communicate with MyLibrary in a selected language, and can choose only the preferred resources which they use daily to have them displayed on their desktops. As a matter of fact, Web visitors and librarians have an effective tool for information mastering at their disposal. The experiences presented in the article could also be of interest to some other libraries of the European Union. | |
