Each Friday the Instructional Materials Center Team will provide answers to questions asked by educators throughout the week in the IMC FAQ Friday post. We hope these are helpful as schools place orders for students who need accessible educational materials.
Reminders when mailing print books:
- When print books are requested by the IMC, please send the book as soon as possible so we can begin the transcription process. Delays in receiving the print book will result in delays in production of the book.
- Log into Athena to generate a hard copy tag to send with the book. Open your order, select the “Update Book Prerequisites” tab, then select “Print Hardcopy Tag.” Open your downloaded hard copy tag and print.
- Do not use a braille paper box to send the print materials or include with any braille that is being returned. Mail books to the shipping address as shown on the hard copy tag.
- If you only need a particular section of a book, please note this in the pacing guide when ordering the book.
- When submitting your order for a book, do not photocopy the book and send in as worksheets. We require the full print book with the ISBN in order to produce the book.
