ABSTRACT:
A method, computer program product and system for creating a mini information center. A user is presented with an initial set of questions to answer. Based on these answers, topics of interests are identified. These topics of interests are presented to the user. Each topic of interest may be associated with one or more articles. The user may then select the articles that are of interest to the user. Upon selection of each article, the user may be presented with a list of options including the option of storing the selected article and associated topic in a directory which will later be used to build a mini information center. Once the user has completed the selection of articles of interest, the mini information center is built using the stored selected articles and associated topics thereby enabling the user to access the desired information in the information center using less time.
