Looking Good

You don’t need Google to learn about authors of the nearly one million Communications’ and other articles in ACM’s Digital Library. The new Author Profile pages provide biographical information as well as usage statistics that help measure an author’s impact. They also allow for community participation in the profiles. To investigate, click on an author’s name from the full citation page of any article in the Digital Library; www.acm.org/dl.
