At this point, the articles are a bit dated, but the content is still very relevant, and is a must read for any college CIO or someone deciding whether or not to purchase a portal product.

They tend to be repetitive and have little to say that's really useful. Unless you are the very beginning of the process - evaluating whether to do a portal, or if you still need to evangelize the idea of one - this book is a waste of time. If you're looking for tactical approaches or anything related to actual implementation strategies, you won't find it here.
