Prospector
The Kraemer Family Library is a member of Prospector, a
unified online catalog of more than 20 academic, public, and special
libraries in Colorado and Wyoming including the University of Colorado
Health Sciences Center library. Prospector allows UCCS students to
identify materials owned by these libraries and to borrow certain
materials from them (primarily books and videos) and have them delivered
to the Kraemer Family Library for pick up.
To borrow materials
through Prospector a valid campus ID card and a current registration
record on file at the Library’s Circulation Desk are required.
Library Databases
In
addition to the Library’s print collections, Beth-El students have
online access to numerous periodicals through various full-text
databases offered by the Library.
Some databases provide
direct full-text links to cited journal articles, but the Library also
uses journal linker and article linker technology to help students
locate the full-text of journals and journal articles that are available
online through the Library’s databases and/or in print in the Library’s
periodical collections.
Reference Assistance
Reference Librarians are
available to assist Beth-El students with library inquiries and research
questions. Visit the Reference Desk in person, call the Reference Desk
at 719-262-3295, or email questions to
refdesk@uccs.edu. Reference Desk hours are posted on the Library’s

health sciences collections and for providing library instruction to
Beth-El students in the classroom or individually by appointment. Beth-El’s
