On March 1, 2011 Colorado Christian University went live in the Prospector system. This means that their library holdings are available for lending and faculty/staff/students of CCU may now borrow from other libraries in Prospector.

CCU marked the event with a special dedication to Prospector. In the photo below  from left is Rose Nelson from the CO Alliance of Research Libraries,  a volunteer from the Hiwan Homestead Museum in Evergreen in Prospector costume, and George Machovec of the CO Alliance of Research Libraries.
