Ask-A-Librarian
Have a reference question?
Library users can contact a librarian with their questions through email, IM, telephone, or in-person at the reference desk.
IM
Reference service is available via Instant Message Monday - Friday (except for when the library is closed for holidays) from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Messages are answered as soon as possible, but there may be a delay if librarians are helping patrons at the reference desk or on the phone. For immediate assistance, please call or stop by the reference desk.
Email a librarian at libref@pratt.edu with your library and research-related questions. We will respond within two business days, but generally quicker.
