SPP Demonstrator

The current demonstrator represents the state of development at the end of phase 1 of the project. It is a working installation of the portal, with guest and user account areas. You can login using your Athens username or you can create a test RDN account. Listed below are a few of the available features.
Searching. You can search simultaneously across various resource collections, as well as various newsfeeds. All results are presented within the consistent portal interface. If you have logged in you can also save records and create search profiles and access your Athens protected resources.
Newsfeeds. You can view newsfeeds that have been made available from various third party sources. You can also search across a selection. You can also display lists of new resources at subject hubs and upcoming events. If you are logged in you can change the selection and layout of your newsfeed display.
Customisation. A logged in user can customise many portal features. They can select the content and layout of their portal pages, as well as adding and removing navigation tabs.
Alerting. A registered user also has access to email alerts. These are created weekly and based upon the user's choice of subject interests and alerting sources.
