Sorry, last posting about the journals' database is not complete.

I have one more e-mail from ACM:


From DCOTTON%ACMVM.BITNET@sbitp.ucsb.edu Tue Nov 20 10:13:41 1990

     Dear Mr. Chang:
              In reply to your e-mail request for any online sources for JACM
     and ACM Transactions, please contact Dialog to access the MATH\SCI data-
     base, or STN International's COMPUSCIENCE database (see ad in 1990 ACM
     Catalog of Publications, p. 81 for details) or call Taissa Kusma at the
     American Mathematical Society (AMS, producer of Math\Sci) at 1-800-556-
     7774.
              Both databases include material from the GUIDE to Computing Lit-
     erature and COMPUTING REVIEWS, our annual bibliography and monthly review
     journal.  GUIDE contains references from all major ACM journals and pub-
     lised SIG proceedings.
     
              If you would like further information about ACM membership and
     publications, please contact ACMHELP@ACMVM.BITNET.
     
     Sincerely,
     Deborah Cotton, Single Copy Admin.

Hung-Hsien Chang ( Hubert)

P.S:Hubert is not my middle name; it is for the convenience of American friends.

Three quick comments here:

	1. Besides Computing Reviews, MATH/SCI also contains 
	   Mathematical Reviews from ~ 1975 on.

	2. Many libraries have the CD-ROM version of Math Reviews.

	3. Math Reviews does not review FOCS/STOC/etc articles
	   individually, but they do list the article titles, so
	   you can search for them.
