Greetings all,
The CS department at UAlberta is moving buildings and clearing out a lot of older texts. I found out rather late and am looking through their discards. I'm wondering if anyone can confirm / affirm that major conference proceedings are generally available? I'm looking at a near complete stack of proceedings (ACM SIGMOD, VLDB, etc.) and it appears that the official scans are missing front matter and such in some cases.
Hi, all. Related to this: I have come into possession of a complete (or at least nearly complete) collection of TUGBoat, the newsletter/journal of the TeX User Group, going back to the early 1980s. It’s from a friend who was very involved with the group over the years. His wish was that, if possible, they find a home at an appropriate library or other institution. So far, I have not been able to locate one. For example, The Museum of Printing in Haverhill, Massachusetts (which I highly recommend!), already has access to a similar collection. Does anyone have a suggestion for an institution that might be interested in considering this collection? Thanks very much.
