Some O'Reilly Content No Longer Accessible to ACM Members After June 14
6 comments
I got the same message and there doesn't seem to be any additional information available. It's really a pity they decided to stop this offering. I could even pay an increased membership fee to keep this included, however now I'm instead considering to not renew my ACM membership.
I received the same message unfortunately. I'm really sad to see that we won't be able to have full access to O'reilly Online Learning. I use it a lot every single day and it was the reason why I became an ACM member. I will see if I will renew my membership.
However, I would have had appreciated some explanation about this change. As a member, we should be aware why.
I asked ACM and the response was that the change came from O'Reilly and ACM sent the mail as soon as they could. O'Reilly declined to offer any discount for ACM members that would move to a subscription. However, there is an extension for the offering until June 22nd to ease the transition.
Still, I am very disappointed in O'Reilly. The $499/year is too much for their offering IMO.

Thank you for these details. So it's O'Reilly who doesn't want to play nice in this game!
Well, I will keep my ACM subscription at the end. At least, books and videos will be available. As much as I love O'Reilly it's also difficult to pay $499/year from my pocket.

I got the same message. Wonder if O'Relly pulling their content due to loss of revenue. I looked up and the individual offering/pricing is 49 a month or 499 yearly.
