IBM RedBooks

Last week at a very informative Smarter Commerce meeting I was re-introduced to IBM Redbooks.  Positioned as 'no cost know how'.  They are written by a considerable assemblage of IBM experts, business partners and clients from all over the world.  They address many different topics of interest to business.  You can download at no-cost many of these publications, or get them in hard copy.  They are continuing to build new ways of having people develop additional  publications through what they are calling social media residences.   You can join these residences, which include blog posts and managed editing capabilities.   Overall a very good idea that appears to be very well done.
