If you are not the Research Technician

• Decide what you want
• Get a catalogue from outside LSE422 and look up pertinent information :
  • Actual and complete item name,
  • Company name, mailing address, and phone number,
  • Catalogue number,
  • Unit sold (eg each, packet of six),
  • Price per unit
• Neatly put the catalogue back in alphabetical order (ie where you got it)
• Give this information, along with amount desired to the technician along with any special concerns (eg rush delivery)
• Wait 7 to 10 days

NOTE: you must provide the aforementioned information to the technician even if you place an order with the credit card

If you are the (acting) Research Technician

• Make sure you are provided all necessary infomation from the grad student/professor
• Get the order approved by Dr. Garcia-Pichel, and ask which grant to use for the order
• Get a green departamental order form from the file cabinet
• Fill out the form, using completed ones as templates to answer any questions
• Get Dr. Garica-Pichel to sign it
• Photocopy the form, and turn the original over to Kristy Bolen (LSE 210)
• File the photocopy according to grant number under the “incomplete” heading
• Upon arrival, double check accuracy and condition of item(s)
• If there are no complications:
  • Write “received okay” on packing slip along with date
  • Photocopy slip
  • Give original slip to K. Bolen
  • Attach photocopy of slip to photocopy of order form
  • File photocopies appropriately (according to year and account number)
• If there are complications:
  • Leave order as inctact as possible
  • Find order form and double check order
  • Take both packing slip and order form to K. Bolen (LSE 210) and explain the problem
  • From here, everything will be situation-specific
• It is your responsibility to keep track of orders and make sure they arrive. Many companies will not contact ASU if there is a problem with the order, be it their fault or ours.
