New Prospector Interface

The Prospector catalog has a new look! The new interface uses Encore software from III and will provide users a new and improved search functionality. Prospector offers a way to search the combined catalogs of 25 Colorado & Wyoming public and academic libraries. This can be helpful when you are tracking down law review citations or writing a paper. Once items are located, SCOL students, faculty & staff can put in a request and the book will be delivered to you here where you work or study. Highlights of the new interface include :

•Colorful book jackets
•Cloud tags to narrow your search
•Facets to narrow a search by format, language, place, or publishing date
•Ability to email yourself a list of records
•Explore related searches-generate a new search on new term
