Resources

Through BOCES, students have access to the following databases at school. These include online encyclopedias and newspaper databases. Please see Mrs. Riedel or Mrs. Standish for passwords. http://sls.edutech.org/research/databases/dbs.asp?school=dan-m
Teachers can order videos from the BOCES Media library. For this you also need your personal ID. Mrs. Riedel has them, or you may also call Jessica Purvis at the library, 658-7688. She is very helpful! click me
Want a book from another library? Check out the catalog that searches all the member schools in our BOCES. Let Mrs. Riedel know if you would like to order materials. We can borrow from Rochester libraries, including universities. If you need materials at those levels, just email Mrs. Riedel.
