The Perkins Libraries collect very few standards. We order standards on demand, free of charge for the Duke community.  If you are affiliated with Duke University, you can request a standard(s) using Perkins Document Delivery.

If you are affiliated with Duke Medical Center, please contact Linda Martinez (bookworm@duke.edu) or Teddy Gray (teddy.gray@duke.edu) for assistance.
