From Reference to Reality: Going Live with uPortal at The University of British Columbia

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:From Reference to Reality: Going Live with uPortal at The University of British Columbia (ID: EDU0109)
Author(s):Dave Frazer (The University of British Columbia) and Paul Zablosky (The University of British Columbia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2001)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Going from a reference implementation to a production service is a revealing exercise. The robustness, reliability, and controlled behavior required in a production environment do not come without cost. The University of British Columbia was the first site to go into production with uPortal, a community-developed, open source, reference implementation of a university portal from JA-SIG. UBC's experience illustrates risks and pitfalls and various measures of success.
