Online Access for Speech and Language Processing

[Qiwei S]

The online access for Jurafsky & Martin is not available today. It was available online for the past three weeks. I need to read the book for my assignment. Can you notify the library and ask them to fix the link?

There is a note on the library page for the ebook that says “Access to this ebook is unavailable until 04/07/2020” – this is probably because the publisher has withdrawn it, or we have exceeded the number of views allowed.

This book is published by a very strange and uncooperative publisher who won’t let us purchase any more “copies” of the ebook and limits the number of views (per year, I think).

You’ll have to do things the normal way (you might think “old fashioned”) and actually go to the library to read the book ! There are copies on reserve.

You might also ask classmates if they have long-term loan copies or their own copy, and ask to share.

Note: I expect taught MSc students on degrees including SLP and some of the Informatics programmes to buy this book and not use library copies.
