Subscriptions/Access

There are several options for libraries to subscribe to ACM Publications. They are:

  • Unrestricted access to the entire ACM Digital Library, which contains all ACM Publications and the entire archive dating back to 1954 via a single site or global Digital Library license available to academic institutions through academic library consortia, corporate institutions, or government organizations. For more information about single site or global Digital Library licenses, please click on the appropriate link on the left navigation bar on this page.
  • Individual A La Carte publications in print or online
  • For existing ACM Institutional Members, you have the option to purchase the Digital Library Core package, the Digital Library Master SIG package, or the Digital Library Conference Series package. Information about these packages is available from the following link: Resources for Existing Institutional Members. Please note that the ACM Institutional Membership program and pricing is available only to current Institutional Members.

ACM offers affordable Digital Library institutional subscriptions to Academia, Government, and Industry.

A subscription to the ACM Digital Library includes unlimited access to all ACM publications, including the complete archive and access to the ACM Guide to Computing Literature index.

Pricing is fair, transparent, consistent, and affordable.
