With the tremendous growth of Internet and other communication technologies, libraries are able to provide web-based user-centric information systems. Today’s trend is to develop ‘Virtual libraries’, ‘Digital libraries’ or ‘Institutional repositories’ and to provide web-based services either on Internet or on Intranet. This paper discusses about community network infrastructure and configuration of Department of Space. The library portal is a way to disseminate and publish the products and services of the library to the users on their desktop. This paper illustrates how to set up a web portal on community network to have effective resource sharing. This paper discusses about the various web-based services through Library portal.
