Requesting Standards

The library uses Techstreet Enterprise to process requests for standards.  Please follow the steps below to place a request.

  1. Browse the Duke Techstreet Enterprise Subscription to see what standards have already been purchased within our blocks (BSI/ISO & IEC) already this year.  These standards are available digitally for one calendar year for all Duke users.
     
  2. If your standard has not already been purchased, and IS part of BSI (ISO) or IEC, then create an account with the form below.  After logging in you may select the standard you want and click "Add Building Block".  This will send an email to the library to approve the standard purchase.
     
  3. Once approved, the standard will then show up in Duke's subscription.  You may view digitally* (for one calendar year) and/or you are allowed to print (1) copy.  All other Duke users may also view this standard online for one year.
     
  4. If the standard you want is NOT part of BSI (ISO), IEC or IEEE, then you may submit an email to askscience@duke.edu with a link to the standard in Techstreet that you need along with your Duke information. 
     

*Please note that you may need to add a plug-in (under Tools on the Techstreet home page) or disable a plugin depending on what browser you're using in order to read or download the document.
