8 <h1>Search ACM Portal</h1>
10 <p>The ACM Portal includes two databases: the ACM Digital Library that is a full text collection of every article published by ACM, including over 50 years of archives, and the Guide to Computing Literature that is a bibliographic collection from major publishers in computing with over one million entries.</p>
12 <p>JabRef can download citations from the ACM Portal database.
13 To use this feature, choose <b>Search -> Web search</b>, and the search interface will appear in the
14 side pane. Select <b>ACM Portal</b> in the dropdown menu.</p>
16 <p>To start a search, enter the words of your query, and press
17 <b>Enter</b> or the <b>Fetch</b> button.</p>
19 <p>You may choose which database to search and you may opt to download the abstracts along with the cite information for each entry, by checking the <b>Include abstracts</b> checkbox.</p>
21 <p>Frequent connections to ACM Portal may get your IP banned for hours. To avoid this, JabRef will for each search display a
22 preview of the first page of entries returned by the server. You can then choose which entries to download.
