For a CS student or professional, not nearly so irritating as the ACM and IEEE duopoly.
My university subscribes to ACM and IEEE databases, so I should be in a better position than most, but somehow that doesn't include IEEE conference proceedings, which is where the papers that (possibly) matter appear. It's not a mystery why people in this field are so crap at staying on top of this kind of stuff: the stuff is hidden.
