Organizations

• The ACM is the main professional organization for computer scientists. It publishes a lot of material, including the student magazine XRDS. It has many special interest groups (SIGs), including the SIG on Algorithms and Computational Theory. It also organizes the International Collegiate Programming Contest. Information about student membership in the ACM is available here.
• Other professional organizations include SIAM, IEEE, EATCS and CIPS.

Sources of Publications

• The Digital Bibliography & Library Project (DBLP) is an excellent source for bibliographic information and links to papers and to home pages of computer scientists.)
• The Computing Research Repository houses lots of unpublished computer science research manuscripts.
• The Electronic Colloquium on Computational Complexity

A Few Blogs

• Theory Matters includes a blog and some good surveys
• Shtetl-Optimized (Scott Aaronson)
