ACM DIGITAL LIBRARY DATABASE INFORMATION

ACM Digital Library is the digital collection of computer science documents from the Association for Computing Machinery.  To most effectively search for articles, first click on the “Digital Library” link in the toolbar on the left side of the ACM homepage.  The holdings of the Digital Library include some full text, and are entirely from ACM journals, magazines, transactions, newsletters, and conference proceedings.  The ACM journals are:

• ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR)
• ACM Journal of Computer Documentation (JCD)
• ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems (JETC)
• Journal of Experimental Algorithmics (JEA)
• Journal of the ACM (JACM)
• Journal on Educational Resources in Computing (JERIC)
• There is also some content from ACM Affiliated Organizations.

To search the ACM Digital Library, you can browse by publication type (journal, magazine, etc.), or you can do a basic keyword or advanced search.  You can choose to search either the ACM Digital Library (which houses all ACM’s full text documents) or The Guide (which houses citations and abstracts for all ACM and ACM Affiliated Organizations published works).
