Definition
Web-based mechanism for accessing a collection of high quality, evaluated resources identified to support research in a particular subject discipline Subject gateways are online services and sites that provide searchable and browseable catalogues of Internet based resources. Subject gateways will typically focus on a related set of academic subject areas. Subject Gateways called subject guides, subject directories and subject portals. Subject gateways allow you to browse subject lists of good quality and evaluated subject resources.

Subject Gateways .
The IMesh Toolkit project provides the following definition:

"A subject gateway is a web site that provides searchable and browsable access to online resources focused around a specific subject. Subject gateway resource descriptions are usually created manually rather than being generated via an automated process. Because the resource entries are generated by hand they are usually superior to those available from a conventional web search engine."

Aim
