I want to search ACM Digital library using R code, retrieving at least metadata including abstracts, and at best the full text.
IGI Global Journals Indexed in ACM Digital Library. InfoSci®-OnDemand Plus, a subscription-based service, provides researchers the ability to access full-text content from over 100,000+ peer-reviewed book chapters and 25,000+ scholarly journal articles that spans across 350+ topics in 11 core subjects. The NSU library subscribes to expanded content for the ACM Digital Library, which provides resources beyond those available under standard ACM membership access. These resources include over 400,000 full-text articles and almost 2.5 million bibliographic records covering the fields of computing and information technology.
I know that the rOpenSci libraries provide R packages and functions to access IEEEExplore and other literature data services and that these work quite well, but because ACM Digital Library does not yet provide an API, its not been possible for rOpenSci to develop code to access ACM Digital Library resources from R.
My question is does anyone know a way around this? Are there alternatives that allow programmatic access to the content in ACM Digital Library?
ThanksSam

I promised a code example for searching the ACM digital library with rcrossref.
Thanks sckott.
But my problem is that:
shows a total results of around 2637 when dl.acm.org shows about 133,279.
I did find a page that said ACM was participating in a pilot - so perhaps they haven't yet put the whole database into crossref.
And yes - no abstracts- bummer. But there are links to full text in XML.

ACM, (Association for Computing Machinery), the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, brings you the ACM Digital Library.
The ACM Digital Library is the most comprehensive collection of full-text articles and bibliographic records in existence today covering the fields of computing and information technology. The full-text database includes the complete collection of ACM's publications, including journals, conference proceedings, magazines, newsletters, and multimedia titles. In addition to the full-text database, the ACM Digital Library is integrated with and includes unrestricted access to the Guide to Computing Literature bibliography. Some features of the Mobile ACM Digital Library: • The ACM Digital Library App is FREE • Search, Browse, Save, Read, Share • Integrated Conference Schedules - see what will be presented at a conference ahead of time - calendaring helps you manage your time while attending a conference • Bibliometrics, Author Pages, Citations, References • Customize shortcuts to your favorite ACM Publications Concerns/Suggestions: [email protected] What’s New

This app doesn’t work
I can’t save any journals to read offline. I’ll update my rating if it starts working.
Thanks
It's appreciated
Okay
First, it needs a real ipad interface. How something designed to show documents wouldn't better support larger-screened devices is odd.
Second, I find it really hard to find entries from specific conferences. You can find the schedule easy enough but no link over to the proceedings? Information
