Addendum B:  CSG Workshop:  Portals and Front Door Design
             Detailed Agenda

If Every Door Is Yours, Aren't You Always Alone?
(and other vexing questions about Web portals)

10/5 8-10:30am

Suzana Lisanti (MIT)
Therese Nelson (University of Chicago)
Frank Steen (Harvard)
Greg Jackson (University of Chicago), moderator and referee

Everyone's telling us that portals are the thing: students wanting 
individualized student services, faculty wanting intellectual specificity, 
admissions officers wanting targeted marketing, development offices wanting 
glow, and a bunch of commercial entities (gocampus.com, zuniversity.com, 
studentu.com, and something our risk managers, of all people, are putting 
together) wanting our mailing lists, our Web page whitespace, our 
clickthrough revenues, and our students' privacy in return for money or 
maintenance. Most of us therefore think about refined single portals, many 
of us think about generic sub-portals, and more than a few of us think 
about tailored individualized portals, provided by us or by outsiders, 
constructed by users or by intelligent agents, and coordinated with our 
front doors or replacing them.

This will be a panel discussion of the issues, technologies, and 
relationships involved. The three institutions are in different places on 
all this, which is the point. The first half of the session will comprise 
presentations on each campus's current situation, challenges, and thinking 
with regard to Web portals. The hole in those presentations will be 
commercial portalling, a perspective we hope other workshop participants 
will add in the second, discussion part of the session.
