Download or CD?

WHICH DELIVERY METHOD IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Download

Generally, paying for and downloading these resources on-line is a very simple and fast way to receive them.  Payment is instant and an invoice, along with the download instructions, is emailed to you.  This will be followed by a tax invoice.Linking To Literacy - Download

You can then download the resources and, in case of internet interruption or other problems, you can download them several times.

Assuming that you, or your organisation, can purchase from the internet there is one fairly important issue to consider – and that is the size of the file or files that are to be downloaded.  Some organisations restrict the size of individual downloads and, depending on your internet connection, the download may take some time to complete.

In order to help you assess this, the following shows the approximate size of the resource files:-

  • Entire Catalogue                30.5 MB
  • Individual Sets range from 43 KB to 3.0 MB

See “HINTS FOR DOWNLOADING” below . . .

CD/POST The alternate method is to have the resources delivered on CD by mail.  This is also very straightforward but obviously does take a bit more time (although we can normally post out within 24 hrs. of receiving the order).Linking To Literacy - CD

Choosing this method at the checkout still requires you to enter your delivery details in the relevant boxes and we’ll confirm your order via email.

HINTS FOR DOWNLOADING

When you have received your download instructions via email:-

  1. Click on Download this item OR  copy and paste the URL indicated into the address bar of your browser.
  2. A dialog box will open . . . click ‘SAVE’.
  3. A window called ‘Save As’ will appear . . . select a destination for your download in the ‘Save In’ drop down menu and click ‘SAVE’.
  4. A .zip file containing your download will be found at the destination you selected.  Double Click the .zip file . . . an unzipped folder, or folders, containing your resources will appear.
  5. To avoid the extra process of unzipping your downloaded .zip file each time you want to access your resources, I suggest you copy and paste the unzipped folder/s to an appropriate location.

(Please note that you can always go back to your.zip file and extract the items again.)
