ACM Digital Library)
ACM Digital Library (a product of the
Association of Computing Machinery) is a subscription information service with
access restricted to Dakota State University students, faculty and staff.
It provides full-text journal articles and
conference proceedings about computing.
If you are off-campus, follow instructions for
How to
access this resource from off-campus
After clicking on the link to search ACM
Digital Library,
you may choose to browse or to search the Digital Library.
If you are off-campus,
you will be required to login with a username and password.
- The username is your
14-digit library ID number. The library ID numbers for DSU students,
faculty, and staff all begin with the numbers
21578.... (for example:
21578000000000). You can find this number on the front
of your DSU ID card. Distance students,
who do not have ID cards, will receive this
library ID number (not a card) from the Office of E-Education
Services. If you do not know your library ID number, please contact
the library.
- The password is your last name (for example, smith).
- SPECIAL NOTE about ACM:
When you link to ACM Digital library
from the Mundt (DSU) Library home page (when off-campus), you will
get a login screen that requires you to enter your library login ID
number and last name. That is the only place that you can use your
library ID number in ACM. At that point you will see an ACM search
screen where you will be able to search and retrieve results. You
will be able to link to the full-text or pdfs of articles in
proceedings and in journals -- without logging in again.
You will not be able to use some special
features that ACM provides to individual subscribers -- for example,
any feature using the ACM login link at the top, right corner of the
ACM screen. These special features -- My Binder and TOC -- require
an individual account and are not part of our subscription to ACM
Digital Library. Your library ID will not work in that ACM login
link.
If you are unable to login with
your ID and password, please contact
the library.
