ACM Readings

The readings below may be assigned for a specific week's class (see the syllabus for details) but are highly recommended even if I don't require them this term. I may also add items to the list. Feel free to suggest readings you come across if you think they'd be useful or interesting to the whole class.

Using the ACM Digital Library

From on campus, you can access the ACM Digital Library directly from Langsdale Library's list of databases either by title or by subject (Computers/Technology):

If you're off campus, you have to use the USM library portal, Research Port:

(the off-campus link for ACM in the database lists linked first above can take you there or you can go directly to Research Port off Langsdale Library's homepage). Research Port requires students to first select the campus (UB) then enter their 14-digit barcode and last name.

If you don't have a barcode you can request one using an online form:

Or call 410-837-4260 or email langcirc@ubalt.edu to get one.
