Before ordering a small piece of furniture:

1. Please ask the requestor to email Melissa to see if a suitable piece of furniture might be available in storage downstairs.
2. If there isn't anything there, the usual next step would be to send out an email to Kuhn's list to see if any other department has one to spare.
3. If a piece of furniture is still not found in the library, the person should get a department head's approval for purchase and send the request to A&R .
