In addition, besides your own college, there might be another college library convenient to you that offers guest access. For example, Vassar College subscribes to the ACM digital Library, (but not IEEE digital library). Vassar College Library guest access to the general public is restricted to when college is not in session. But if you present them with student credentials, there is a good chance you will be granted access even when college is in session. Also, have you done a Google search for those articles? Many ACM articles can be found via Google. Either the author himself put the article on his personal web site, or the articles are publicly available as part of a reading list for some college course. Search both vanilla Google and also "Google Scholar". I've found *many* ACM articles this way. _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Nov 3 - Open Source Hardware: Bugs, Beagles and Beyond Dec 1 - IBM's Open Client Deployment Jan 5 - Building a Comunity Site with Drupal
