ACM subscription?
I’m thinking of becoming an ACM member, mostly because I want access to the digital library. The price, however, is a bit steep: $99 for professional membership, then another $99 for the library. (Discounts don’t seem to apply to me… I’m not a student, nor a member of any SIGs, and Florida is probably not on their list of developing countries. ;-)
So now I’m wondering, does anybody here have experience with this? Is it worth it? (I’m mostly interested in access to papers about programming languages. Of course, access to books and courses doesn’t hurt either, but the papers are my main concern right now.)
