locations and business units.

NetWare Application Notes

NetWare Application Notes (AppNotes) is published monthly by Novell. Each issue contains several
articles that address different aspects of working with NetWare, including design, implementation,
development, and optimization. The material is based on technical research performed by Novell
personnel.

Novell Research Reports

Novell Research Reports are in-depth treatments of key technical issues such as network backup
and security. These reports also represent technical research performed by Novell personnel.

Novell Cooperative Research Projects

Cooperative Research Projects are the result of research performed by third-party industry experts.
Cooperative research projects are planned for topics of general interest for which Novell cannot
produce strategic research without outside assistance.
