Title: Nothing useful here
Review: This book is a collection of essays written by university folks who've implemented portals. They tend to be repetitive and have little to say that's really useful. Unless you are the very beginning of the process - evaluating whether to do a portal, or if you still need to evangelize the idea of one - this book is a waste of time. If you're looking for tactical approaches or anything related to actual implementation strategies, you won't find it here.
