[![cambridgeauthors.png](https://blog.oclc.org/lorcand/archives/cambridgeauthors.png)](https://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/scienceportal/subject.php?subjectId=53&ref=lorcandempsey.net)I have had a chance to [see more](https://blog.oclc.org/lorcand/archives/001784.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net) of the [Science@Cambridge](https://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/scienceportal/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) ‘portal’ and to hear from Cambridge colleagues how they plan to evolve it.  
As I noted, I particularly like the way in which access to the literature is surrounded by feed-based contextual services. I wondered about a view of materials produced within Cambridge and this is indeed on their agenda. On the medical pages (perhaps a medical portal is a ‘mortal’?) you can see how they are identifying and pulling out publications by Cambridge authors. Again, it is nice that you can subscribe to this; you can place it where you want to consume it.
