Introducing the ACM Digital Library
The ACM Digital Library is a vast collection of citations and full text from ACM journal and newsletter articles and conference proceedings.
There are various search options:
- Basic Search: On the Digital Library main page, type your word or phrase into the text box. The search engine searches on each word individually as well as on the whole phrase. Put quotations (" ") around the phrase to search the exact phrase.
- Advanced Search: On the Advanced Search screen, use the fields provided to conduct your search based on specific criteria, such as a key word or phrase, author, ISBN or ISSN. These fields independently or combine them.
- Browse the Digital Library: by type of ACM publication: journals, magazines, transactions, special interest group (SIG) newsletters, proceedings, and publications by affiliated organizations.
The three reference citation formats ACM offers (BibTeX, Endnote, and ACM Reference Format) all require cut-and-paste operations. ACM does not have any direct export functions, and there is no facility for launching Endnote directly from the ACM DL. Cut and paste the citation into a text file, save the file, and then import to Endnote, using the "Endnote Import" filter as the import option.
