| Prospector is a unified catalog of 25 academic, public and special libraries in Colorado & Wyoming. You can order materials that are checked out, missing, or not owned by Auraria Library. Through Prospector you have access to over 22 million books, journals, DVDs, CDs, videos and other materials. With a single search you can identify and request materials from local member libraries and have them quickly delivered to your home library. | Auraria Library uses an online electronic interlibrary loan system called ILLiad for ordering books, materials and journal articles which are not owned or available in the Auraria Library's collection through a nation-wide and world-wide network. If you are a first time user, register using First Time User Registration. Otherwise, enter your username and password to logon to your ILL account. |
