This is a big meeting, with 5000 attendees and several hundred exhibitors. ACM has a booth that demonstrated in part the new Computing Review online publication. There was a sub-meeting of CS librarians which Mark didn't attend, but heard about. ACM historically has been beat up at this meeting. Not this time.
Librarians are pleased with pricing, quality, performance, and access rights.
Some suggestions were made. IEEE was beat up. IEEE does not have the performance that libraries expect. The ACM Pubs staff should be justly proud of this significant sea change that they pulled off over the last few years. Librarians want ACM to guarantee the availability of the DL archive in light of any technological advances.
