Subscriptions/Access: Academic Libraries/Consortia
The ACM Digital Library is one of the highest quality, most affordably priced scholarly databases available today. Over the past decade, ACM has established a reputation for fair and transparent pricing and practices that is the cornerstone of our relationship with the academic community.
The easiest and most affordable way for academic institutions to obtain access to the Digital Library is by participating in one of the many academic library consortia that ACM works with worldwide. Significant volume discounts are available to participating libraries and ACM actively works with these consortia (directly and via subscription agents) in virtually every region throughout the world.
ACM partners with established academic library consortia to provide DL access to thousands of academic libraries in countries all around the world. Below is a full list of participating consortia.
If you are interested in learning more about how you can access the ACM DL via one of these library consortia, please contact us at [email protected].
