Wiltshire & Swindon Learning Resources
Note: When using WSLR ignore 'Search this website' above. Navigate only via the WSLR home page main menu and the links below.
Requesting Items
All members can now request resources on-line as well as by submitting order forms by fax or by post. Please note, we process your requests for delivery three times a year, at the beginning of each of the three "traditional" long school terms.
Requesting Items On-Line
There are just 3 simple prerequisites -
(1) Your school must subscribe to WSLR and
(2) you must have a user name and password.
If you do not have a username and password, or you have lost them, please contact us on 01225 713748. Also contact this number if you have changed schools, as your password is linked to the school in which you teach and you will need a new one.
(3) You have Cookies enabled on your computer. The Cookie provides security and is the medium by which your request is tracked.
To Request an Item On-Line
Log on, then search for the resources required via the Main Menu and the various resources pages. Depending on the item, you can search by title, subject, type of resource, key stage, author, etc. Many Visual Resources and all Framed Pictures are illustrated on the website.
Once you have found a suitable item just click on the shopping cart to the right of the row. If you are already logged on, you will go straight to the 'Add to Basket' page.
If you are not logged on, you will be shown the logon page. Enter your Username and Password, then click 'Log On'. You can now continue to 'shop'.
On the 'Add to Basket' page, and provided your school subscribes for the type of resource in question, you now need to select the Year and Term for which you require the item. If you are not entitled to use this resource type, a message to this effect will be shown. Note: you can request items for any combination of year and term.
Now click the Add to Basket button. If the transaction is successful, a confirmation page will now be shown, allowing you to return to the previous search page and continue 'shopping'.
You can view your basket at any time and delete any unwanted items by clicking the remove option.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
(1) Once you have completed a term’s requests, click on the checkout icon. If you do not do this, your selection will remain in your shopping basket and will not be forwarded to us!
(2) Use the free text box to tell us which items are especially important to your plans. We will do our very best to get them to you.
(3) If shopping near the end of term, please give a telephone number or email address where we can contact you in the event of query or difficulty with your request.
All Audio-Visual items will be booked on receipt of request, and you will receive confirmation within 10 working days.
We start processing requests for Visual Resources and Books requests during the mid-term holiday preceding the term for which you require the resources. We will then send confirmation of the resources booked, together with information on dates of delivery and collection.
Although we cannot guarantee that you will received everything requested, this system does aim to ensure that each teacher will receive something suitable for use with their topics.
