Registering Materials for Sale

You can register your material for sale online (UCE registration opening soon). The only supplies you will need are plain printer paper and scotch tape. The online software will print your labels with title, price, grade level, category, and barcode – two labels per book. All you do is print out the labels, cut them apart, and affix one on the outside and one on the inside of your book with scotch tape. It’s fast and easy!

Online material registration will be available soon. All material for sale must be pre-registered by June 20th at 12 noon.

Delivering Your Books

Material registered for the Used Curriculum Exchange may be dropped off at one of the satellite locations (TBA) on Thursday, June 20 between 12 noon and 2 p.m., or at the Linn County Expo Center (at the back of the main building) between 4-7 p.m. on Thursday, June 20th or during the conference June 21 and 22. 

Buying Used Materials

You will be admitted to the Used Curriculum Exchange between 12:15 and 6 p.m. on Friday and from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. Shopping times will be assigned in the order the registration is received. The sooner you register, the earlier shopping time block you will be assigned.

Conference volunteers shop first, then those attending the conference will be assigned time blocks based on how soon they register. The sooner you register, the earlier you’ll shop. Everyone will get a chance to shop.

Obtaining Used Curriculum Exchange Tickets*

2. Pre-register for the conference: Used Curriculum Exchange tickets will be issued to those registering for the conference in the order the registration is received. The sooner you register, the earlier shopping time block you will be assigned. Online registration opens at 8 a.m. on April 24th.

3. Walk-in Conference registration. Those registering for the conference at the door don’t have to miss the Used Curriculum Exchange. They will be assigned time blocks after the pre-registered conference attendees’ time blocks.
