iFindReading - The new way of ordering books and resources for your modules / iFindReading - Y ffordd newydd o archebu llyfrau ac adnoddau ar gyfer eich modiwlau

To streamline our service, we have introduced a new process for requesting books for learning and teaching. Requests will now be managed automatically through our reading list management software iFind Reading, providing a more efficient and consistent service. Modules must have a reading list in iFind Reading before new books can be requested. New reading lists are easy to create if one doesn’t already exist. Follow the steps in your Library Guide or contact us and we can provide tailored instructions. Important: new items can take up to 10 weeks to arrive so please make sure essential requests are made in good time. Your Librarians are available if you have any queries about the new system, please contact us. You can also find us at this year's SALT conference where we'll be demonstrating and answering questions on the new system.__________________________________________________________________________________________Er mwyn symleiddio ein gwasanaeth, rydym wedi cyflwyno proses newydd ar gyfer gofyn am lyfrau ar gyfer dysgu ac addysgu. Bydd ceisiadau bellach yn cael eu rheoli'n awtomatig trwy ein meddalwedd rheoli rhestrau darllen iFind Reading, gan ddarparu gwasanaeth mwy effeithlon a chyson.Rhaid i fodiwlau gael rhestr ddarllen yn iFind Reading cyn y gellir gofyn am lyfrau newydd. Mae rhestrau darllen newydd yn hawdd i'w creu os nad oes un eisoes yn bodoli. Dilynwch y camau yn eich Canllaw Llyfrgell neu cysylltwch â ni a gallwn ddarparu cyfarwyddiadau wedi'u teilwra. Pwysig: gall eitemau newydd gymryd hyd at 10 wythnos i gyrraedd felly gwnewch yn siŵr bod ceisiadau hanfodol yn cael eu gwneud mewn da bryd.Mae eich Llyfrgellwyr ar gael os oes gennych unrhyw ymholiadau am y system newydd, cysylltwch â ni. Gallwch hefyd ddod o hyd i ni yng nghynhadledd SALT eleni lle byddwn yn arddangos ac yn ateb cwestiynau ar y system newydd....
