A presentation at the 2006 Online Northwest Conference in Corvallis Oregon.Abstract: Oregon State University librarians used the Internet Scout Project’s Collection Work Integration System (CWIS) software to create a portal on the topic of sustainable business. The CWIS software is an elegant open-source solution for non-programmers who want to create subject portals. It has a great deal of flexibility, yet non-technical people can install, populate and maintain the portal. We will discuss the implementation of portals with CWIS, its features and benefits, and the collaborative process we used to create our own portal. Anyone thinking of building a subject portal who lacks extensive programming support should look at this exciting tool.
