Can’t find what you’re looking for in the Westminster catalog? Broaden your search into other catalogs by using Prospector! Prospector is a unified catalog of twenty three academic, public and special libraries in Colorado and Wyoming. Through Prospector you have access to over 25 million books, journals, DVDs, CDs, videos and other materials held in these libraries. With a single search you can identify and borrow materials from the collections and have them delivered to your local library by using the Prospector tab at the top of the results page displaying a gentleman holding a pickaxe. It is also possible to connect directly to Prospector at http://prospector.coalliance.org although users are encouraged to begin in their local system. If the item is not located in one of the twenty three libraries nearby, you can expand your search even wider and search globally for your items by using WorldCat.

WorldCat is the world's largest network of library content and services. WorldCat libraries are dedicated to providing access to their resources on the Web. You can search for popular books, music CDs and videos—all of the physical items you're used to getting from libraries. You can also discover many new kinds of digital content, such as downloadable audiobooks. You may also find article citations with links to their full text; authoritative research materials, such as documents and photos of local or historic significance; and digital versions of rare items that aren't available to the public. Because WorldCat libraries serve diverse communities in dozens of countries, resources are available in many languages. Access to WorldCat is also available through the Penrose Library.

Keep searching! Ask a librarian for assistance, if needed.
