Notes on the service
Ask a PTFL Librarian is an enquiry service provided by the Philosophy and Theology Faculty Libraries. We will respond promptly, usually within three working days (Monday to Friday), and often within 24 hours. More complex enquiries may take longer to answer where it is necessary to consult several sources and/or colleagues.
We will respond within five full working days of the receipt of an enquiry for at least 90% of correspondence, but in all cases within ten full working days of the receipt of an enquiry. Full working days are Monday to Friday except for the Easter and Christmas/New Year closure periods.
This service is provided for registered users of Oxford University Library Services. We are also happy to respond to reference enquiries from external users only when they relate to PTFL collections and services. Please note that we are not able to undertake detailed research on behalf of enquirers.
