[nfbcs] Accessible books of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Image Processing

[david hertweck]

Did not know about the service you are talking about.  I am a blind engineer 
working in R&D I need a text now and again can I also use such a service or 
is it just for stoodents.
thanks.

Most of Prentice-Hall and Pearson's books are readily available in 
electronic format, but you need an official from disability services to 
acquire that for you. I see you are in India and I don't know how things 
work there, but here in the  U.S., the student would contact Pearson or its 
state representative and request the book for a particular blind student.

I do this in my job several times a week. Here in California we have an 
agency we do the requests through, because the publishers want to send their 
ebooks to a central, authorized repository for students with print 
disabilities. That's also true in some other states. I can however contact 
publishers directly if the agency is slow to process my request or I am in a 
state that doesn't have such a service for colleges.

If you are your college's official, then contact the publishers directly; 
both of them have online forms you fill out to certify that you are indeed 
officially acting on the part of a student. Again, rules for India might be 
different.

Another possibility is Learning Ally. These kinds of books will be filled 
with visual elements, diagrams and charts that need to be described. 
Learning Ally does describe images, though there quality is uneven. Neither 
Bookshare nor Learning Ally, being library services require you own the 
printed textbook; publisher requests require either a proof of purchase or 
proof that your agency has one on file.

To avoid potential copyright issues, check with Bookshare if you don't want 
to purchase the titles you are seeking.

Dear members,

Hope you are doing great.

Do you have a copy of the following books- 1. Stuart Russell & Peter Norvig, 
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, Prentice-Hall, Third Edition
(2009) 2. Rafael C. Gonzalez & Richard E. Woods, Digital Image Processing, 
Pearson Education.

If you have, will it be possible to provide them to me? or can you provide 
me any other book related with above topics?
