My experience of the ACM was of paying for a year's worth of the Digital Library and finding that _everything_ I searched for in my area required an additional fee. It was listed as available but when you tried to download it would hit you up for another payment. When I complained about the bait-and-switch and requested a refund they refused.
- russss 17y agoThe ACM just seem really underhand in general. They kept spamming me, through several email accounts, offering me membership. Even after I joined, they still continue to spam me. I don't think I'm going to renew my membership when it comes up.
