  1. Very Briefly About ACM • The computing world’s oldest and largest professional MEMBER ORGANIZATIONwith over 100,000 Academics, Practitioners, and Students from over 180 countries around the world (i.e.- established in 1947) • One of the computing world’s most respected PUBLISHERS of scholarly literature and one of the world’s most heavily used publication platform’s with over 15,000,000 full-text downloads per year • The computing world’s leading CONFERENCE ORGANIZER with over 275 events annually (conferences, workshops, symposia, etc.) • A key player in helping to establish and develop US PUBLIC POLICY REFORM and EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT in Washington D.C. (see http://usacm.acm.org/) • Organizers and Sponsors of pre-eminent computing PROFESSIONAL AWARDS & ACADEMIC HONORS, such as the “Nobel Prize” in Computing….the A.M. Turing Award

  2. Very Briefly about ACM Digital Library • The ACM Digital Library is three databases in one: • Full-text Articles published by ACM & full-text Articles published by Affiliates • Abstracting & Indexing Service covering the entire field of computing called the Guide to Computing Literature (i.e.- Scopus for CS) • Analytics Tool to help analyze CS publications, authors, & institutions

  3. A Quantitative Look at the ACM Digital Library • 370,000 Full-text Articles – combination of journals, conferences, technical magazines, newsletters, affiliated publications, etc. • 21,000 Full-text Articles added in 2012 • 2,000,000 Bibliographic Records now in the DL (journals, conference literature, books, dissertations, technical magazines, newsletters, technical reports, etc.) • 259,000 Bibliographic Records added in 2012 • 3,500+ Multimedia files (Audio & Video) • 1,780,000 Authors’ works indexed by the DL (over 11,000 have taken ownership of their pages) • 6,000+ Institutions’ works indexed by the DL • 6,000+ Publisher Imprints indexed by the DL • 660 Journals indexed by the DL • 750,000+ Conference Proceedings indexed by the DL • 65,000+ dissertations indexed by the DL • 165,000+ books indexed by the DL • 17,000,000 References in the DL • 6,100,000 Resolved References in the DL (via CrossRef)

  4. Digital Library Subject Areas • Subject and Technical Areas Covered by the ACM Digital Library • Artificial Intelligence • Cloud Computing • Graphics/Imaging • Gaming • eLearning • Interaction Design • Communication • Data mining • Databases • Design Automation • Embedded Systems • Networking • Human Computer Interaction • Wireless/Mobility • Computer Architecture • Data Structures • Distributed Computing • Security • Software • Network Architecture • Many other more specialized topics covered (i.e.- published by ACM or not published by ACM)

  5. The New Computing Classification System (CCS)

  6. What is the ACM CCS?

  7. Analytics / Profile Pages • 1st Generation Analytics Tools launched in 2011 & 2012 • 1st Generation system aggregates all of the data contained in the full-text collection and Guide at the article level. • Based on a recent workshop conducted in the fall of 2012 with members of the CS & library communities, 2nd Generation system is now under development. • 2nd Generation system will aggregate data at the people level, in addition to the article level. This will give users the ability to search people and people-based relationships more easily, using various facets such as time, co-authorship, subject areas, institutions, publications, etc. • For example, the system will have the ability to answer questions, such as: • What people published in the area of AI between 2008-2012? • What people were affiliated with MIT, Stanford, or Berkeley from 2005-2012 that worked in the field of Computer Security? • We will demo the 1st Generation system in a few minutes

  8. For Librarians Looking for Additional Info on the ACM DL Go to http://librarians.acm.org

  9. Topics Covered In Today’s Demo • Sign In – Setting up personalized features, such as binders, sharing, annotations, etc. • Basic Search • Searching the Guide and Searching the full-text DL • Advanced Search • Computing Classification System – Drilling Down by Subject Areas • Analytics / Profile Pages • Author Profile Pages / Collaborators – Useful for NSF Staff • Institutional Profile Pages • Publication Profile Pages • It would be great to include NSF Funding Data as a metadata item in system. Who to talk to about taking this forward. • Questions & Answers
