... and in #GoodNews;
"Beginning January 2026, all ACM publications and related artifacts in the ACM Digital Library will be made open access. This change reflects the long-standing and growing call across the global computing community for research to be more accessible, more discoverable, and more reusable."
"This move also required an evolution in how the ACM Digital Library operates as a research platform. To make the DL fully open while remaining financially sustainable, its set of services are now offered in two editions: DL Basic provides free, public access to all research content, while DL Premium offers advanced tools and value-added services designed to support deeper discovery, analysis, and institutional research workflows."
