I am an ACM member which comes with a lot of cool privileges like their monthly Communications of the ACM. A lot of the ACM is geared towards academic level rather than practical stuff.

An other really awesome privilege is complete access to Safari Books Online. Which has a huge catalog of quality books, videos, etc. This normally costs something like $400/yr. An ACM membership is only $100/yr (or less if you are a student).

There are some requirements to ACM membership:

You must satisfy one of the qualifications below:

  • Bachelor's Degree (in any subject area); or
  • Equivalent Level of Education; or
  • Two years full-time employment in the IT field.

So if you quality I can really recommend joining to get access to a lot of great content.

If you don't qualify you can use unpaywall.org/ and arxiv.org/

Wow! I didn’t realize you got so much stuff with them. Definitely looks like a good resource for those who qualify.
