ACM has opened more than 117,500 articles published between 1951 and the end of 2000, during the first 50 years of its publishing program. These articles, which include many foundational articles by the pioneers of the field, are now freely available to view and download via the ACM DL.
Recognizing that many computing researchers, practitioners, and academics continue to work remotely, the ACM DL has implemented several options for remote access through subscribing institutions. Please contact your library or ACM to request this access. [email protected]
