The RSL has a huge collection of physical and electronic materials. We have so much that we wanted to shine a spotlight on some of our items whether recently added or an existing collection item. The resources are recommended by our knowledgeable subject librarians who are excited to show off parts of the collection for their subject.
This month’s selector is:
Rachel has selected ACM Digital Library by the Association for Computing Machinery, an association of computing professionals including educators and researchers, available on SOLO.
Brief Description
The ACM Digital Library brings together full text access to the full range of ACM publications including journals, conference proceedings technical magazines and books. It also includes publications from select publishers with over 3.5million publications in the library. ACM is the world’s largest computing society and their content covers the latest developments in areas of
- Security and privacy

The ACM journals also have great open access credentials. Oxford has agreed a read and publish deal with ACM that allows all Oxford affiliated corresponding authors to publish open access in all gold and hybrid ACM journals. Research articles and conference proceedings are covered. Authors are asked to use an Oxford email address. Please choose CC BY and list Oxford as your affiliation.
ACM provides great opportunities for networking and collaboration.
The people section is a great resource for finding experts and potential collaborators. There are filters on geography and subject so you can find the best people to work with.
The conferences section has proceedings from more than 170 computing conferences, symposia and workshops with content from renowned experts in various computer science disciplines.
Who is this useful for?
Researchers, DPhils and postdocs in the field of Computer Science particularly those looking to find collaborative colleagues. It is also useful for other scientists looking to develop skills and knowledge in computing.
How can I access it?
This database is available through SOLO. To access it off campus use the VPN or sign in to the journal platform with your Single Sign On (SSO).
