Denver Public Library (DPL) remains deactivated in Prospector for borrowing and lending. This means that DPL customers will not be able to borrow items through Prospector and those from other libraries will not be able to request DPL materials.

Although DPL has successfully completed a migration to a new integrated library system in February 2011 they remain inactive in Prospector pending some technical and financial issues. We are hoping that DPL will rejoin Prospector later in 2011 but the date has not yet been determined.

In the meantime, if you are a DPL patron and would like to borrow an item through Prospector, you may want to get a borrowers card from another library who continues to participate in the system. The CLC (Colorado Library Card) program allows the general public to get a borrowers card for most other public libraries (and some academic libraries) by visiting that library and showing the library card from your home library. However, if that is done, you will need to pick up Prospector requests at one of the branches of that library.

DPL materials continue to appear in the Prospector system but their circulation status is not accurate. Please visit the new DPL online catalog to determine current availability at DPL itself. These records will soon be withdrawn from Prospector pending a reload later in 2011.

The Prospector team can also be reached by sending an email to help@coalliance.org if you have specific questions.
