The document summarizes the five key volumes of the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) v3.0 framework. Each volume focuses on a different process area: Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation, and Continual Service Improvement. Each volume outlines its objectives and includes chapters on introduction, principles, processes, activities, organization, technology, implementation, and challenges. The ITIL framework provides guidance for designing, developing, implementing, delivering, and improving IT services.

1. Information Technology Infrastructure Library v3.0
