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 Web site.

Library Liaison

The Library works closely with the University’s teaching departments through a liaison system. The librarian liaison for the Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences is responsible for selecting materials for the Library’s nursing and health sciences collections and for providing library instruction to Beth-El students in the classroom or individually by appointment. Beth-El’s current Library liaison is: Mary Beth Chambers (719-262-3289 or mchamber@uccs.edu).
