IBM Redbooks are ITSO's core product. They typically provide positioning and value guidance, installation and implementation experiences, typical solution scenarios, and step-by-step "how-to" guidelines. They often include sample code and other support materials that are also available as downloads from this site.
They are available as hardcopy books, in IBM Redbook CD-ROM collections, and on the Internet through this site. Refer to the 'How to order (US)' page for order details.
Drafts (Redpieces) (US) are redbooks under development. The objective of making the draft versions available is to speed up access to books that are not yet published. Consequently they are less polished and have not undergone the formal review that takes place for completed IBM Redbooks.
Redpapers (US) are shorter technical documents that are only Web-published. They can be the result of ITSO residencies and may also be contributed from other sources. They reflect working experiences on the specific topic.
