On February 2, 2011 the Leslie J. Savage Library – Western State College of Colorado went live in the Prospector system. This means that their library holdings are available for lending and Western State faculty/staff/students may now borrow from other libraries in Prospector.

Western State College was established in 1901 and was the first college on Colorado’s Western Slope. It is the fourth oldest public college in the state. Western offers a broad range of courses of study in a beautiful mountain setting. Many degree programs take advantage of this environment, which has been called “one of the world’s greatest natural laboratories.” Western offers students an opportunity to study in a wide range of fields such as business, computer science, communications, the social and behavioral sciences, professional recreation, the arts, the sciences and teacher education.

With the addition of Western State College, 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.
