Abstract The MyLibrary@NCState Web portal was created to help users reduce “information overload,” to allow them to create personal Web pages containing their most frequently consulted library electronic resources and services, and to provide a new avenue of communication between librarians and discipline-specific populations of users. This chapter will look at each of these goals and discuss how well the current product has managed to meet them. In doing so, it will also cover the relationships between library portals and course pages, the evolution of MyLibrary in the context of changes to the Libraries' Web site, and future directions for development.
