How does the DL differ from the Guide?

• The DL is the full-text repository of papers
  from publications that have been published,
  co-published, or co-marketed by ACM and other
  publishers. The Guide is a collection of
  bibliographic citations and abstracts of works
  published by ACM and other publishers. Citations
  for all ACM published works are included in the
  Guide as a small subset of the total
  bibliographic space.
