Manage Bookmarks

Bookmarks help to make the WKU Portal more useful. Unlike standard internet browser favorites that can only be accessed at one area, the WKU Portal makes your favorite websites available anywhere. Never worry about losing your bookmarks when you switch machines because Portal bookmarks stay with the application as long as you have a WKU Portal account.
