• Send items requested from other BOCES to your local BOCES ILL coordinator for shipping.  Include a copy of the print slip generated by the SCOOLS Catalog with due date indicated.
• Search from schools within your own BOCES first.  Please remember- try to request from all schools not only those schools listed first alphabetically.
