address that the ACM newsgroup published that has a acm.org extension,
I get my mail returned. In particular I tried to send mail to

I'd like info on the contest and new e-mail addresses for the

I joined SIGGRAPH about ** 8 months ago **, and I've never even
received recognition of my application or $ spent to join. I
contacted one person (Mike Cunningham, I think), who said that
they haven't put anything out in a long time. It's pretty
shabby to spend your $ and not even get a confirmation, even
though nothing has been published to send out.

   Gohel) asks:

Because of SIGGRAPH finances we did not produce a May issue in 1992 (this was
announced in the October 1991 issue, but may have been overlooked) and we have
held the August 1992 issue until the SIGGRAPH '92 proceedings have been mailed.
These both should be out very soon (can we say "any day now"?)  While the
proceedings are clearly seen as the best issue of Computer Graphics, I think
you will find the August issue to have very interesting articles on the spread
of scientific visualization beyond the usual high-visibility sites.

For the record, finances have not improved, and we are also not planning an
issue of Computer Graphics in May, 1993.  Instead, we will "publish" an on-line
special (unnumbered) issue about that time that will appear on siggraph.org and
will be available by ftp and e-mail.  This experiment with online publication
will help fill the publication gap and should help us learn about the viability
of online publications.  While this note is not a formal call for papers for
the issue, we hope to have some interesting articles dealing with online
publications, and would like to hear from people who are interested in writing
something for this issue.

TOG is a publication of SIGGRAPH.  TOG comes out more or less
quarterly (mostly less, though they're better lately).  TOG is a
technical journal and publishes some pretty high quality articles.

SIGGRAPH also publishes a periodical called Computer Graphics, which
is also quarterly (except that they've skipped an issue and are
planning on skipping another due to budget problems).  The only issue
of Computer Graphics that is worth anything from a technical
standpoint is the SIGGRAPH Proceedings issue, the rest of the issues
are more organizational in nature; board meeting minutes, etc.

I am a member of SIGGRAPH and also get TOG.  I think, on the whole,
they're both worthwhile.

Is it purely a historical reason that the ACM publishes its Transactions
separately from the SIGs or are there other reasons?

From those that I have experience of, it would seem that the SIG
newsletters are generally stronger where there is not a Transactions
publication in a similar field. For example, the SIGCHI Bulletin is
consistently very good, whereas the SIGLINK and SIGIR newsletters seem
to perhaps lose out to Transactions on Information Systems. It would
seem in many ways to be simpler / easier to move the Transactions under
the wings of the SIGs where appropriate.

Is there a paper copy, or preferably an electronic copy, available of the
Table of Contents of each years "Communications of the ACM"?.

Such a compilation would allow one to quickly search for an article of
interest in an old issue of the CACM.

If the abstract of each article published in each volume was also available
that would be of benefit as well.

I know the "Computing Archive" on CD-Rom is available but I cannot afford the
$US999 + $US659 pa. to subscribe to this service.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Around March of `92, the student chapter list had a great discussion
about different ways of raising money.  All of the posting were archived and
can be accessed through the listserver at suvm.acs.syr.edu.  Is anyone
willing to create a summary of what was said?

Tee shirts have come up before too, but I forget when.  The listserver
also has search capablilities, so ...
I think Old Dioinion had a nice tee shirt last year.  They showed it off

Well there are enough computer and computer related companies in the
Valley: you just go up to them and ask.  We have raised thou$and$ this way.
We thought about PDSes (members have done them outside ACM), and we don't
charge for meetings (the Valley has a long history of free computing
meetings although this is changing).
Hardware loans are even more fun, you frequently drive up to a loading
dock and pick up.  It helps if a Chapter or Local Group has a cash base
and you go for matching fund grants.  The SJ Merc had a full page article
two computing editors ago on raising money and getting donated computers.

Just passing thru.

No electronic version is available.  You can order a printed copy for
a nominal fee either from ACM or IEEE (it was jointly issued).

To order one or more copies of the Curriculum Task Force Report, which
has ACM Order Number 201910, from ACM:

   1) Send a check for full payment, payable to ACM, Inc., with a request
for the report to

       ACM Order Department
       P.O. Box 64145

or call (800) 342-6626 (outside MD) for credit card purchases.

   2) A Customer Service representative can be reached at (301) 528-4261
for P.O.s and special handling.

Prices:   $20 + $3 shipping/handling for ACM members
              (ACM member number must be provided)

          $30 + $4 s/h for nonmembers

The shipping/handling charges above are for book-rate mailing.

Just a small note to clear up the frequent misconception that TOG is SIGGRAPH's:
it isn't.  It's a publication of ACM and has no direct connection to SIGGRAPH.
In spite of this, however 8^} it's a very good publication and I absolutely
agree with the writer's last line.

As for the awkwardness of working with your local AV dept. well, here at the
University of Denver, they won't even come to our building because we have
no elevators. If we want to watch a tape, we either walk 2 blocks to the
"media" room (out of date AV equip) or find another option. Until this year the
option was for 2 of us to bring in personal equipment. Then the dept got smart
and bought 3 setups to use on each of the 3 floors in the buildings, consisting
of a large scrren monitor (25 in I think), VCR and display panel that hooks up
to a PC or Mac. Best use of money we've seen in a while! Stuff is in use all
the time!
