Prospector is migrating to a new software platform with the same vendor. The conversion to the new system is scheduled for March 28th 4-8pm. During this period, Prospector will be unavailable for searching and requesting. Barring any complications, Prospector will be back online around 9pm that evening. Thanks for your patience as we update Prospector.

Requesting through Prospector is currently unavailable. Our vendor is looking into the issue right now and we hope to have Prospector fully restored soon. Thanks for your patience.

Douglas County Libraries were suspended in Prospector over the last few weeks due to some internal networking issues. We are pleased to announce that all issues have been resolved and they are fully restored in Prospector for lending and borrowing of items.

Douglas County Libraries have been experiencing some network connectivity issues. As a result, their items aren't requestable in Prospector and borrowing has also been suspended. If you are a patron of DCL, please contact your local library to request items through traditional interlibrary loan, outside of Prospector. Email: help-at-dclibraries.org

MOBIUS is moving to a new system for their catalog which isn't compatible with the Prospector. All borrowing and lending between the two systems will cease on January 12, 2024. After this time, the link to MOBIUS will be removed from the Prospector catalog. After January 12th, if you aren't able to find an item in Prospector, you will need to contact your local library and order it through traditional interlibrary loan outside of Prospector. You can still request items from MOBIUS and have them for the full loan period until January 12th.

• CU-Boulder Libraries are switching to a new library catalog and are unavailable for the first 2 quarters of 2024. CU Boulder card holders should contact the ILL Department to request items.
