As someone moving into the field of IT, I would find this a useful addition to my professional resources. Not only does it give me access to so much knowledge and information, but it also gives me access to people who are already in the field. That can be valuable for career contacts and also simply for networking and asking questions. If someone who is focused on a career in IT is able to build contacts while still getting an education, the career prospects are better when that person graduates and actually starts looking for employment. With the downturn in the economy, even IT professionals need all of the help them can get to find good job leads and get hired on at a company that they like and that treats them well. Because ITtoolbox has such a large community, the site can provide help in almost any aspect of IT one might want to consider (ITtoolbox, 2011).

Following up on the links provided on ITtoolbox is another big part of why the site has so much to offer....

Everything from green technology to Adobe can be found there. There are not enough free hours in the day to read all that is of interest on this particular site. Following links from the Knowledge Management Directory also often leads one to different kinds of activities. For example, some links have only one or two pieces of information located on their pages. Other links have groups, definitions, Q&A options, industry articles, and more. One link can lead a person to more and more links, providing a web or network of information. The best thing about ITtoolbox is how much information can be located from a central starting point. Because of that collection of information, ITtoolbox is one of the best tools for anyone who has a serious interest in information technology.
