Subscribe via EmailFor a good number of years, I've been one of a number of community folks bemoaning the lack of Lotus-focused publications on the shelves of our local Barnes & Noble, Waterstones or Borders bookshops.
Thankfully, Packt Publishing have stepped into the breach this year, and are in the process of writing and publishing books on Sametime and Quickr amongst others.

Packt approached me with the idea for the book at the very time when Karen Hooper was working on her end-user training materials for Notes 8.5. It seemed like a perfect match, and she indicated she had always wanted to write a book. Amazingly, she did so whilst caring for a newborn child!
The book is fantastic and covers a broad range of end-user topics, from the simple email/calendar/to-do to replication, RSS, and even widgets. Good stuff, glad it's just about out of the chute.
I work with Lotus Notes at the company I work for ( { Link } ) and have some good exposure to it, but it's always read and learn as much as you can. There is the learning from doing but the little bits and here and there come from reading.
