which correlates books in the library with the BABOK v2.0 sections
for easy cross-reference
- Regular IIBA webinars and
email

webinars which can be viewed and used for Continuing Education
Credit

ALL OF IT! With a cup of coffee and your computer it's like being
at Borders - but better because it's all about business analysis
and it never closes.
