How to access this resource from off-campus 
Search tips (by 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.

1. 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.
2. The password is your last name (for example, smith).  
3. 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.
