Title: Anyone with an Oxford (UK) phonebook?
Post by: kasperl on October 29, 2005, 01:27:27 pm
I need contact info on two people because of a convention like thing I'm going to next week, and no contact info seems posted on the website, and email goes unreplied. If someone as a Oxford phonebook handy, or a University of Oxford list, I'd be much obliged. They're students, not teachers, so the site (http://www.ox.ac.uk/contact/) of the Oxford uni won't work.

They might not - probably won't - be in the Oxford phonebook.

They're not in this one, at any rate:

Try http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.content/en/find/residential/residential_numbers.publisha
If that doesn't suit you, just look for the right search functions at www.thephonebook.bt.com but I can't know if it will work or not, since you haven't given us any details concerning those two people (although I guess you can't, for privacy).

EDIT: Hm, apparently you've already tried that site. Well, so much for my 'help'. :p

Well, what I should have said is...not everyone in the UK is in the phone book (I'm not, nor is my family); so if someone is a student, and particularly if they're living in the halls, I'd expect them not to bother getting themselves listed, if it even occurred to them.

You might be able to try a really circular approach and contact the course director (if you know the course) and ask for he/she to get them to contact you.  I'm not sure on the likelihood of that working, it depends a lot on the uni as to how easy they make it to contact staff or students.  If they're postgrad - specifically research - students, you may have a better chance of getting in contract as quite a lot of (particularly Phd) these tend to be listed as staff within their research interest / group, and also as they tend to supplement their grants with teaching work, etc.

They're not in the staff listing.

Their names are listed here: http://users.ox.ac.uk/~ouna/mun/humanrights.shtml
