Library web portal: A resource for web-based information services

In today’s digital information landscape, a well-defined system is essential for organising, storing, and retrieving information efficiently. A library portal serves as a valuable tool for facilitating web-based information services. We subscribe to electronic resources through the VTU Consortium. However, the full potential of these resources can only be realised with a functional website that enables users to leverage them effectively. Web portals play a crucial role in enhancing access to electronic resources by increasing their visibility. Therefore, we have developed a dedicated web portal for accessing these resources. Through the link https://smvitb.knimbus.com/user#/home, students can access e-journals, e-books, e-papers, old question papers, the National Digital Library (NDL), and NPTEL videos.
