Highlights of ACM Activities: July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014

摘要

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, is an international scientific and educational organization dedicated to advancing the arts, sciences, and applications of information technology. The cornerstone of ACM publications is the ACM Digital Library (DL) serving as the primary distribution mechanism for all the Association's publications as well as host to scientific periodicals and a set of conference proceedings from external organizations. The DL, now available at 2,650 institutions in 190 countries, boasts an estimated five million users worldwide. An additional 31,000 individual subscribers in 196 countries have DL access. The result of this widespread availability led to more than 20 million full-text downloads in FY14. ACM is committed to increasing the scope of material available via the DL. Last year, over 23,000 full-text articles were added, bringing total DL holdings to 425,000 articles. ACM's Guide to Computing Literature is also integrated within the DL. More than 105,000 works were added to the bibliographic database in FY14, bringing the total Guide coverage to more than 2.3 million works.
