                                    1.   Offering libraries may submit books during the entire assigned month.



                                    2.   Books will remain in XESS for ninety days before disposal is approved.



                                    3.   Network libraries may add books to their "wanted" lists throughout the year.

The XESS contractor will run the comparison process each month, and offering libraries will receive mailing cards for books requested by other network libraries. Offering libraries will receive a disposal list on the next comparison run after an offer has remained on XESS for ninety days. Upon receipt of the list, libraries may request mailing cards and bag tags from Dorothy Moore, Inventory Management Section, by phone at (202) 707-0775 or by e-mail at [log in to unmask]
