TOC Service Available

To receive the table of contents for each issue of SIGPLAN Notices as it is posted to the ACM Digital Library, sign up for the TOC Service. To do this, sign in using your ACM Web Log-In at www.acm.org or the ACM Digital Library. This step will automatically authenticate you as a member of SIGPLAN. In the ACM Digital Library, on the right side of the page select Newsletters, and scroll down to SIGPLAN Notices. The link to the TOC Service is under the title in the box on the left. Notice the TOC Service is also available for proceedings from SIGPLAN conferences. Access to SIGPLAN materials in the ACM Digital Library is available as part of both Electronic and Print SIGPLAN memberships.
