Who can use the O'Reilly program?
The O'Reilly Online Learning platform offered by ACM is available to all current ACM Professional Members who sign up for the $75 ACM Skills Bundle Add-On.
How can I access O'Reilly Online Learning Platform?
Log in with your ACM Web Account username and password from any ACM Learning Center page (click O'Reilly from the top right navigation) or through myACM (left sidebar). You can also access the platform directly at https://go.oreilly.com/acm, which will forward you to the same sign-in page.
What content is available?
There are 60,000+ online books, video courses, conference videos, playlists, and learning paths from O'Reilly and other top publishers. The ACM collection does NOT include live events, live courses, certification prep materials and exams, Superstream recordings, or interactive labs and sandboxes.
Is there an O'Reilly mobile app?
To access the free O'Reilly app (available on iOS/Android mobile devices), follow these simple steps:
1. Download the iOS app from the Apple App Store or the Android app through Google Play.
2. Launch the app.
3. On the welcome screen, click Sign In and on the next screen, enter your @acm.org email address and click Sign In again.
4. The following screen will indicate your @acm.org email address and show "I'm with: ACM." Click Sign in with SSO.
5. On the next screen, enter your ACM Web Account username and password and sign in.
Can I read books when my phone or tablet is not connected to the Internet?
Yes. For your convenience, the O'Reilly app allows you to download unlimited books and videos for offline use. You can also sync your O'Reilly app from the website, search the O'Reilly catalog and add new items to your playlists from within the app, control font size and toggle night mode for reading comfort, and start reading on one device and pick up where you left off on another.
What if I don't have an iOS/Android phone or tablet, or don't want to download the app? Can I still get mobile access?
Members using Android and iOS phones, tablets, and other mobile devices can enjoy mobile-optimized learning without O'Reilly. Log in to O'Reilly's Learning Platform as you would on a desktop to access O'Reilly's reactive, mobile-optimized site. You will be able to browse, search, and navigate your folders on your mobile device.
What other features are available in the O'Reilly Learning Platform?
You can add notes, highlights, and bookmarks to any book you're reading, change font size and toggle night mode for reading comfort, as well as view your recently accessed content by clicking on Profile.
Can I personalize my experience?
Yes, when you log in for the first time you will be prompted to select the topics that interest you. Items that pertain to these topics as well as items that match your recent searches will be added to the Recommendations section.
How does copyright apply to electronic books?
Copyright applies to all electronic content including electronic books. O'Reilly monitors the use of its resources. In some cases of abuse, access can be revoked. Due to copyright restrictions, you can only email or print at the page level (not the chapter or section level), one page at a time.
