ITIL PAPERS & INFORMATION
- Whilst not strictly a paper, the ITIL Encyclopedia is actually a wiki. A Wiki? This can be thought of as a public collaberation paper: the public can simply add content and knowledge to the on-going project. An interesting concept.
- A large collection of papers and materials is promised at ITIL Central. This bills itself as a repository of materials and items pertaining exlusively to ITIL.
Note: We hope soon to build our own collection of ITIL papers and articles. If you have anything to contribute, don't be shy!
