VLDB Journal available on ACM Digital Library

We are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached between
the VLDB Endowment, ACM, and Springer-Verlag that will make VLDB
Journal more widely available to the community. According to the
agreement, starting with Volume 12, Issue 1, ACM will provide the
full-text of all issues of the VLDB Journal to all subscribers of the
ACM Portal/Digital Library. Eventually, all back issues for which there
exist electronic files of the articles will be available in ACM DL.
Furthermore, ACM will market and distribute the VLDB Journal to its
individual members at the initial subscription rate of $48/year
(students $43).

The Journal is already made available to SIGMOD members through the
SIGMOD Anthology and DiSC. We are certain that this agreement will
make the VLDB Journal even more accessible to the community.
