On March 2, 2011 Colorado Mountain College went live in the Prospector system. This means that their library holdings are available for lending and faculty/staff/students of CMC may now borrow from other libraries in Prospector.

Colorado Mountain College serves nine counties in north-central Colorado: Chaffee, Eagle, Garfield, Grand, Jackson, Lake, Pitkin, Routt and Summit. The 12,000-square-mile district includes international resorts, ranches, wilderness areas and former mining towns. Each year, nearly 20,000 students take classes at its 11 locations or on the internet.

Colorado Mountain College libraries system includes the Virtual Library and three traditional libraries located at the residential campuses in Glenwood Springs, Leadville, and Steamboat Springs. The libraries include print, media and online resources. The delivery of Prospector materials is currently available for the following CMC locations – Steamboat Springs, Leadville, Quigley (Glenwood Springs), Breckenridge, Vail and Rifle.

Prospector has now passed 10 million unique titles with 30 million copies. The system includes printed books, ebooks, journals, movies, music and other many other items.
