Reference and Research Services

Reference Librarians help people...

• find information on a topic
• develop research strategies for papers and projects
• search library catalogs, article databases, and the internet
• locate facts and statistics

We also...

• answer questions about the services and resources of the Duke libraries
• provide instruction on the research process and the use of the library
• refer people to information sources beyond the library

The Reference Desk is open for in-person visits (Perkins 1) and phone calls (660-5880). You can also contact us by email, IM, or chat, or make an appointment (hours may vary from those posted).
