The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has released a new version of the ACM Digital Library. Building on the breadth and depth of this renowned repository of digital knowledge, the new site simplifies usability, extends connections, and expands content with a wide range of new tools and features. More than 1.5 million users have access to ACM's Digital Library, a readership representing individuals and institutions from over 190 countries worldwide, who download about 13-15 million full text resources annually.
New features in the ACM Digital Library (DL) enable users to browse efficiently by author, publication type, ACM Special Interest Group (SIG), and conference venue. The new DL also integrates extensive visualisation technology that captures details of the more than 150 international conferences and symposia associated with ACM. Among these advances are multidimensional geographic maps that display the expanding global nature of ACM events. The redesigned format also lists conferences alphabetically and chronologically, and links to access the published proceedings of each event as well as authors, acceptance rates, and downloads of presented papers, tables of content, abstracts, source material, and a history of the conference.
The site invites comments from readers and browsers to strengthen ties within the computing community. In-depth information about ACM Special Interest Groups and related conferences is also accessible through the new DL. In addition, DL content has been expanded to include citations for hundreds of information technology books from the best authors and publishers available.
The ACM Digital Library contains comprehensive full-text resources from ACM's vast collection of its own published journals, conference proceedings, magazines, and newsletters, and detailed bibliographic resources from other publishers, including data for every author and article in its archive. It houses ACM publications dating from the 1950s as well as coverage of other publishers starting in the mid-1980s. The DL captures more than three million pages in a visually enhanced format that makes this information conveniently accessible and easily searchable. The DL's new features and structure facilitate information dissemination and sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration for computing professionals, practitioners, researchers, and educators on a global scale.
