The ITIL V3 Foundation Handbook replaces the V2 Little ITIL and is the latest in our suite of publications, launched in November and the highest selling book at the recent itSMF UK annual Conference, it works on two levels: as a pocket-sized management overview of ITIL V3 and as a handy revision aid for those working towards the Foundation qualification.

itSMF UK has announced the publication of 'Service Level Management - a Practitioner's Guide'. This is the first of a new series of guides that draw on the expertise of the chapter's network of Special Interest Groups. Offering a practical, experience-based approach to the subject matter, the guide discusses (among other things) the best way to design an SLM roadmap and implementation project plan, compile a service catalogue, and put together service level agreements, with templates and supporting material provided on an accompanying CD. itSMF UK member Steve Morgan, who chaired the working party that authored the book, said the group were delighted to be able to share their SLM knowledge with other service management professionals.

Though itSMFI’s umbrella ‘co-branded publications agreement’ with TSO, the Official Publisher of ITIL, itSMF UK and TSO have announced a new co-branded pocket guide, the ITIL V3 Foundation Handbook. The Handbook performs a dual role. It's a quick management-level reference tool for those interested in ITIL V3. Also - uniquely for a pocket guide - it covers the full content of the ITIL V3 Foundation Certificate syllabus and provides an ideal revision aid.
